Description
A.I.F. HOMEWARD BOUND. A BENZINE TIN RIGGED UP TO ONE OF THE BOOMS WITH A HOSE PIPE CONNECTED TO THE ENGINE ROOM PUMP, AND THE MEN HAD THEIR SHOWER. COMING THROUGH THE TROPICS THIS SHOWER WAS RUNNING CONTINUOUSLY 24 HOURS A DAY, AND NO MATTER WHAT TIME OF THE DAY YOU PASSED IT, YOU WOULD ALWAYS SEE A CROWD OF MEN COOLING OFF. (NEGATIVE BY G. SILK).
