The Panaminian flag, not at all indicative of our breed, trailed from our stern, and half the Bations were dubiously represented amidships, as we lunged about the waters of the moody Caribbean.

And they were enjoying it just that It didn't take long the next morning to much. find where the Mate kept that cabinet key. "Later we found that least half the sailors kept a great tin of 'Ovaltine' in their forecastles, and still later discovered four tins of it in the bunks of the black gang. And in their nightly gambling the highest stakes they could lay were their coveted tins of 'Ovaltine.
