Seven Communist ambulances preceded by two jeeps arrived first at the exchange site. Red officers hopped out of the jeeps and handed over lists of the U.N. prisoners they were returning. The men inside the vehicles waited patiently, pressing pale faces against the glass. Several drank wine from bottles, some joked and shouted; most were silent.

...behaving scamen were assigned to scrub the "deck" and polish the "brightwork"--in this case, oak floors and gold mirrors. Consequently, when the admiral moved out, the ship was little worse for the wear and tear. The Conants were astonished to discover that even the bottles in the wine-cellar were undisturbed. Somehow, through four years of Navy discipline and inspection, no one discovered the little cabinet where the Conants, stored their spirits...
