  A

  Many 
  a 
  "rookie" 
  in 
  our 
  new 
  merchant 
  marine 
  well 
  remembers 
  his 
  first 
  storm 
  at 
  sea 
  and 
  

   his 
  sudden 
  loss 
  of 
  interest 
  in 
  all 
  forms 
  of 
  nourishment, 
  when 
  walls 
  of 
  green 
  water 
  came 
  

   tumbling 
  on 
  hoard, 
  the 
  ship 
  wallowing 
  till 
  her 
  ribs 
  cracked.
