Chaplain continued;
Tiose of us who wish ' to be excused*
’o paraphrase a classic. nThere is
,o disputing about tastes," and the
ame could be said for the enjoyment
f leisure hours. Leisure is like
•hiskey: although it is habit-forming
.t still remains, in itself, in its
atural innocence, a blessing rather
han a curse. Only ourselves can use
t properly or abuse it.

NEWS FROM THE CLOVER PATCH
Here we are again with a report of c?ur
recent trip to Attu. We left Adak at -
2009, Monday, 23 October, the wind was
force 5 (19-24 mph) from the southwest
and as soon as we rounded Cape Adagdak we
began to pitch violently.
At 1620 Tuesday some 8 inch pipe sec
ured on deck begain to loosen up, so we
reduced speed while it was secured. Wind
had been steady at force 8 (39-46 mph)
most of the day, but by 2000 had reached ^
force 10 (55-63 mph), so we reduced our
speed to lessen the pounding effects of
the seas, The wind continued throughout
the night and although the engines were
turning over for 9 knots we were only
making 4 good. Wednesday morning the wind
was still high, the seas rough, so we
reversed course to seek the lee of Kiska
Island. Deck cargo had loosened up again
and No. 4 boat shifted in the chooks* We
reached the lee at 1225 and after fasten
ing things down a little tighter braved
the seas again at 1400. Wind had moder
) ated to force 7 (32-38) mph, so we. were
able to resume standard speed, averaging
10 knots the remainder of the day & nite*
Arriving at Attu 0833, Thurs.,26 Oct.
just 24 hours behind schedule we off-load
ed the deck cargo of one 5 ton dump truck
with snow-plow blade and a snow-trac, ar
tracked vehicle of Swedish manufacture f
for transporting personnel over snow. We
also delivered 16 tons of miscellaneous *
construction equipment, material & general
stores. Chaplain Goffrier, the CB Chap
lain arrived by OF at 1045 and he planned
to stay until Monday to minister to the
needs of the men at the station. We dep
arted at 1643 to take advantage of the
relatively good weather. During the trip
back to Adak we saw four Russian whaling
vessels headed west. We arrived back at
Adak at 1513 Saturday, glad to be home.
