Loud wails went up when it was discovered that the ship's store was closed, sending cigarets to a premium. There was steak for supper, however, and a visible abundance of Scotch & soda. Immediately ahead was the prospect of tumbling pouch-eyed off the boat at 7 a. m., to be whirled by bus to Schenectady.
