4. bottom of the stairwell, Niagra, Assent 01, 01
5 doggn the hatch, poor Wimgler, the Barf Bucket,
6? Gramps ask: whats that noise.. I explained that the Coffee Urn had broken out of its
solid stainless steel securing staps and was making shuttle trips
port & starboard with stops each way in the
overhead wiring and the deck tables..
He went below with som 19 thread in one hand
saying .. If I dont return dont come looking for me
I returned to putting larger peices of barf in the bucket neatly
suspended from the overhead wiring with a line of proper length
so the bucket neather sloshed out its contents nor did it bang on the bulkhead & spill
Gramps returned with an Unbroken coffee cup
from the Galley {the sound of the C.URN had stopped}
I watched the filling of the cup
{you know upside down .. etc etc} more in a
state of wonder than disbelief (still no URn sounds
He tried to hand me the cup // anyway I took
that cup of steaming hot coffee forward and
handed it to Crackleesi (CWO) {flahsback time} & recall
how he held it with two hands // the implication being
that once he had that counterweight in his hands
that by moving it about here or there {He} a South seas Islander?
could then Navigate the Chanti on thru the remainder
no sweat.. & {in effect} it was that opposing force was all that was required. I believe {that} (BWUW)
