"Perhaps, also," says Dixon, "he had a # Seamen Pastula, Dixon, Aldrich. horror of being eaten [by his mates]." Tony was the thinnest and thought he might be the first to die. Nevertheless, he agreed with the other two that "the survivors should eat the heart, liver and other such organs" of whichever one went first.
