It wasn't until the middle of November the fleet arrived at Dakar. It had been over 6 weeks since they had left Libau. Progress had been glacial. Agai... coaling was done outside the harbour and the fleet left within 24 hours. No shore leave was granted, even the Admiral remained on his ship.The next scheduled call was to be Luederitz in German Southwest Africa. The fleet coaled twice on that leg. First off the Ivory Coast and again far off the coast of German Kamerun in open sea. The second. It was down in the Below Decks, where passengers we’re not suppose to go. She had never been shy about going anywhere on the ship and thought going to see this creature would provide some entertainment.

Lone Ranger tiredly reached for the scrap of wood when Tonto stopped him."Kemosabe let me do that. That horse have saved both our lives time and again. I feel obliged.". Hawk watched his wife dance with her favorite entertainer, and his smile shined like a beacon. He was very proud of his wife. When André led Polly back to her seat, he then danced with the Queen, who was not nearly as graceful nor attractive, and I thought I noticed tightness around her eyes that might have been brought about by jealousy.It didn't matter to Polly. A nuclear war couldn't have taken the shine off of her night, and I loved being included so that I got to watch her having so much.
