"stand by" was a dock worker who
waits until a boat comes in and
some sea sickened sailor gets off
after deciding that the old terra
firma is the best place after all.

S. K. R. Kingsbury, finally
at earned into Port Richmond Jack
was chosen to go to work on

Commenting on the sailors'
strike on the west coast, Gavin
said that the oil company does not
have a sailors' union. "Eecau.se
the oil tankers have better food,
better wages, and better living
conditions, there is no trouble in
getting men to work on them."

towards the victim," Dr. Laves
