The pretty head nurse knows his books and admires them.

One seaman named Pulanski, furious when one of the men discovered a piece of string in his ice cream, had threatened to have it out with the mess steward. Ashore at Naples, three men had been beaten up by their fellows. Captain Gregory clapped two of the assailants in the brig.

Overnight 30,000 political prisoners came bustling out of jail. They included the furious Catalonian secessionist, "President" Luis Companys, who had just begun to serve a 30-year stretch in a grim Andalusian prison for having proclaimed the industrial northeast of Spain the independent Republic of Catalonia (TIME, Oct. 15, 1934).
