I was told to take two WRENs for a ride round the bay from the canal to the basins. One of them was WREN Cotton, sister of the famous Henry Cotton, Champion Golfer. She was like Henry but prettier. There was a ship being bunkered (being loaded with coal). The Arabs were running up a wide plank with a bag of coal on their heads, and emptying it down a hatch on the ship and running down another plank to get another full bag. The two WRENs were deeply engrossed watching this caper, so I looked up at the ship and I felt embarrassed for none of the Arabs had anything on over their privates. I turned to the WRENs and said, 鈥淪hall we press on then ladies, we have some way to travel yet?鈥 They replied that they were not ready yet, so we stayed put.
