HOSPITALITY
We sat down to a slap-up feed, six-course dinner, and Avine and liciueurs and a fresh-killed chicken as the big dish . . . We had an absolutely grand time on board. They treated us like honoured guests — the captain even insisted that we should have our meals before he or any of hi'S officers sat down. The First Mate taught us to navigate in Portuguese—and we ended up by taking a watch for them; it helped to repay their kindness. —Talk by a Flying Officer, whose crew were picked up by a Portuguese Cargo Ship).
