#ocean voyage

[dreaminginthedeepsouth]

This is all we saw, and felt, for the 96 hours from Indonesia to Philippines. Water. Waves. Wind. Rolling, pitching, hurling you into the walls, ejecting some stomaches overboard. I can’t varnish the experience, it’s what it takes to travel between these two nations without burning fossil fuels. :: [Grey Filastine]

"Whatever your eye falls on - for it will fall on what you love - will lead you to the questions of your life, the questions that are incumbent upon you to answer, because that is how the mind works in concert with the eye. The things of this world draw us where we need to go."  - Mary Rose O'Reilley

Breathe, damn you

While sailing to Nordopolica, a sudden storm comes upon the ship Yeager and Raven are aboard. Raven falls overboard; Yeager jumps in to save him.

*ahem* and now, presenting an anecdote I’ve had in my head for about three months solid, loosely inspired by the animated film Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas

“Ezra?” Said Amsel curiously. “Do you think gay sirens exist?” I turned my eyes away from the moonlight waters, a little confused by the question. “Do you mean female sirens who are lesbians, or male sirens whose voices only enchant gay men?” “Yes,” he replied. My studies in mythology hadn’t prepared me for this. “Well, it’s certainly possible, I suppose,” I shrugged. “But I wouldn’t want to be in enough danger to find out,” “Nor would I,” Amsel agreed, trembling a little as the mainmast creaked eerily. “Is it just me, or is there music in the air?”

As Mephistopheles was steering the ship and I studied my journal, Amsel peered over the side of the ship, spellbound by a voice only he could hear. A handsome young man with shining eyes and long flowing hair emerged from the water, his muscular torso glistening with seawater, the full moon rising behind him. He looked directly at Amsel, smiling seductively. “Hey there, stud. Fancy joining me for a late night swim?” He purred, beckoning with a webbed finger.

Mephistopheles looked up from the helm and saw what was happening. “Oh, nein!” He yelped. “Ezra, your boyfriend’s been hooked!” As quick as a flash, I sprinted towards Amsel and tugged him back to safety, just in the nick of time as well, as he was actually preparing to jump overboard. “Babe, snap out of it!” I exclaimed, shaking his shoulders and trying to waken him from the siren’s spell.

“Wha-? What’s going on?” Amsel gasped, becoming lucid again. “I thought I was about to sleep with…” “Fish!” Mephistopheles interrupted. “You were about to sleep with the fish, mein freund!” The siren, losing its humanoid glamour and now resembling a grotesque eel-like creature, screeched angrily at having failed to lure in its next meal and slithered away into the depths of the ocean blue.

We all shivered in alarm at this frightening encounter. “I think I’ll go back to steering the ship,” Mephistopheles shuddered. “You two had better get below deck before anything else happens.” “That is an excellent idea,” Amsel gulped. He still had goosebumps. “Just for the record, Ezra, you’re the only man I’d ever sleep with,” he added, his heart still pounding. “I know,” I whispered as I gave his hand a reassuring squeeze. “It wasn’t your fault,”

It was only when we’d got below deck and into our hammocks with the rest of the crew that Amsel posed another question. “Ezra? Mephistopheles is bisexual, right?” “Extremely,” I responded. “Why?” “Does that mean both sirens would work on him?” Amsel asked nervously. We both shuddered again. “I think we shouldn’t have made him the captain of this ship,” I admitted. Amsel sighed. “This is going to be a long voyage,” he mumbled.

“DUFRESNE PRAISES MONTREAL POLICE,” Montreal Star. November 8, 1932. Page 3 & 11. --- Director Willing to Compare Local Force With Any Other ---- The new police radio service will not be inaugurated before the end of the week more likely the beginning of next week, Director Fernand Dufresne stated this morning. He is glad to be back in the harness again after his trip to Rome, and is quite well satisfied with the way in which the police force has operated during his absence and the condition in which he finds on his return. 

His trip to Europe has filled him with a greater appreciation than ever of his home town and a full measure of pride in the police force over which he presides, If he is given the more commodious quarters that he has asked for, he is prepared to contend that Montreal's police force will stand comparison with any organization of its kind on this continent. 

ATTENDED FUNCTIONS During his stay in Rome, in addition to the sessions of the international convention of police heads which he went there to attend, he and his fellow delegates took part in a number of ceremonial functions, principal among which were the laying of wreaths on the tomb of the unknown Italian soldier and the commemoration of the tenth anniversary of the Inauguration of the Metropolitan Police in Italy. Dr. Brendt, head of the Austrian police, laid a wreath on the military tomb in the name of the police officers in convention. 

During the gathering, at the instigation of the American delegation, a resolution was passed appointing a committee to meet representatives of the American Association of Police Chiefs, with a view to fostering closer co-operation between American and European police authorities and the maintenance of a fuller documentation regarding international criminals. 

It was not entirely a pleasure trip, the chief said. “First, there is the long sea voyage. I am a good sailor. I do not get sick. But there is not much to do on board ship. Then the long train journey. I prefer our trains to those in Europe. And arrived in Rome, a week of hard work at the convention sessions and attending official function which are sometimes hard work, too." 

LUGGAGE LOST To make matters less agreeable, the chief's luggage got lost and he found himself handicapped by the lack of his principal trunk during his first few days in Rome. Fortunately, he arrived there a few days ahead of time and the trunk turned up before the convention had gone very far. Meantime, however, he had had to buy a lot of new clothes to carry on with until the baggage came to light.

He did not go sight-seeing. He had no time. All his time while in Rome was taken up with the convention and he had little leisure for pleasure seeking. Everyone was very cordial and courteous, the authorities at Rome and his 'fellow delegates to the convention, who came from all parts of Europe as well as from Canada and the United States. Practically all the European delegates were Government officials, as in most European countries the police force is a Government organisation under control of an officer of the Government. 

GLAD TO BE HOME "I am glad to be back home and I appreciate Montreal more than ever,” he concluded. "And I think very highly of the organisation of our Montreal police force, an organisation which I do not take any credit for. It was set up by others long before. If I can get the building that I want for Montreal force, it will stand comparison with any force of any kind anywhere on this continent," he concluded. The chief was downtown bright and early this morning, renewing contact with the business of the police force. Later in the forenoon, he crossed to the City Hall and called on the members of the Executive Committee.
