Having been asked to reenlist for another four years, he announces his refusal to sign anything but a discharge; complains about the heat, sailors fighting, a fire in the barracks, not getting leave, and not being a ‘real sailor’; says Lillian stopped writing after he suggested they be just friends, so he writes to a friend’s sister; says he has only 16½ points, but needs 35 to get out of the Navy; visits the Panama Canal; cooks for a farewell party before being moved to Balboa. Is assigned to the ship fitters’ shop, learning to make things with tin, which he hopes will lead to a higher rank and skills he can use when he is discharged; makes two water tanks for ships; visits a ‘most beautiful’ cathedral in Balboa. 14 letters. |
