The following conversation was recorded in one diary: Wild: Do you like doughnuts? Mcllroy: Rather. Wild: Very easily made, too. I like them cold with a little jam. Mcllroy: Not bad; but how about a huge omelette? Wild: flTine! (with a deep sigh.) Overheard, two of the sailors are discussing some extraordinary mixture of hash, apple-saucbeer, and cheese.
