Every job has a "Pop Lynch". Pop was a little
older than average and he had the scars to prove
it. He didn't believe in religion, yet one
night I noticed him saying his prayers and when
I questioned him he told me that while he didn't
believe in all that "church jazz" he thought he
would cover all odds just in case.

 

One time he missed the ship when we sailed from
Diego to Frisco, he arrived two days later
looking a little care-worn around the edges and
commented that he felt "too pooped to pop". He
was immediately clapped in irons. Well we all
knew the chips were down for old Pop and with
our usual concern for our fellow man an instant
lottery sprang up at one dollar a ticket to
guess what drastic punishment would descend

on Pop's bald head.

y John, N.B. a subsidiary of the British Empire
y Steel Corporation, manufacturers of nails and
fwdére, agreed to work over-time~ three extra
hours every other evening without pay so that
Rthe company could compete with foreign
Rmanufacturers in export markets. In return,

R management promised the men 75 per cent of any

Rprofits accruing from the export business under

ythis arrangement.

After working his way through Divisional
officers defaulters and then Executive officers
Pop finally moved, bald head gleaming and hat

in hand infront of the Captain's table. All the
counts - and no-a-counts were gathered to hear
Pop's explanation while an enterprising
electrician had wired the bridge for sound so
that the lottery types could also hear the
straight goods.

"And what do you have to say in your defense
Petty, Officer Lynch?".

"Well sir - on the day in question I had as
usual spent my time in cultural pursuits in
beautiful downtown Tijuana and as evening came
upon me I found myself on the side of the road
making my way back to Diego. Well sir a car
stopped and I was offered a ride by three young
women. It was only after I entered the car that
I was informed by the trio that they had that
day escaped from a penitentiary for women where
they had been incarcerated for the past year.

I was further taken back when I was informed
that. they intended to ravish my poor body".
(at this point several exclamations of disgust
some of disbelief).
