APPENDIX C 



MEMBERS OF THE CREW OF THE "LOO" ON HER LAST CRUISE 



The following is a list of names of all the men and officers appearing 

 on the paybook of the Loo on her last cruise. Only those marked with 

 an asterisk were on the ship when she was wrecked. 



In those days ships' crews and officers were paid only at the end 

 of a commission period, or at the end of a cruise. Men or officers who 

 were transferred during a cruise were given a ticket by the purser 

 showing the pay that was due them. These tickets were supposed to 

 be held until the payday of the ship was announced in the newspapers, 

 when they were presented at the designated pay office and the men 

 received their pay. In actual practice, the interval of time between 

 the issuance of the ticket and the actual payday was so great that many 

 sailors suffered actual want, and to obtain funds, sold their tickets at 

 enormous discounts to speculators.
