Authors note: This is a short story that I wrote in 1972 for a college writing class following my departure from the Navy.

The story is presented, exactly as researched and written then. I have scanned the pictures from the original. Unfortunately, the scotch tape used on the pictures has yellowed over the years. Please enjoy the story. GLC
