Dorton House

W HEN the ship first commissioned it was decided thatinstead of supporting various charities it should

have its own particular one.The charity selected was the Dorton House School for

the Blind at Sevenoaks, Kent. The main objective ofthe school is to prepare children of all ages to take partin everyday life.

To try and achieve a target of £2,000, the ship'scompany volunteered to have approximately 2/6d. perfortnight deducted from their pay.

It was soon realised that by this method the targetwould not be reached; in order to boost this amountcollecting boxes were placed in the canteen and unusedforeign coins were collected after leaving the variousports.

By these methods the sum of £1,360 12s. 0d. has so farbeen raised. In order to make the total up to £1,500, anamount, not yet determined, will be given from theWelfare Fund.

" Lenny The Lion "LENNY THE LION first came into our lives shortly

after Commissioning when we heard from Admiraltythat he had offered to be the ship's mascot. Arrange-ments were then made for a visit to cement the adoption,but, owing to ship's movements and Lenny's engagements,this was not possible for some considerable time.

However, a large party of children were invited towatch Lenny's T.V. show in December, 1960, and thiswas much enjoyed.

THE DORTON HOUSE CHILDREN WITH LENNY THE LION

While the ship was in the Mediterranean, Mr. TerryHall, Lenny's Tamer, ordered a large flag, showing Lenny'sface on both sides, for presentation to the ship. This wasto be used on any suitable occasion such as children'sparties, sports' meetings, etc.

At last, on return from the Mediterranean it waspossible to arrange a personal visit of " Lenny the Lion "to his adopted ship. This was timed to coincide with achildren's party at which children of the ship's companywere hosts to children from Dorton House School forthe Blind.

This was the most successful children's party of the yeardue in no small part to the splendid show put on by TerryHall and Lenny, which kept the children enthralled.Great care had obviously been taken to ensure the blindchildren could enjoy the show and take part in thecompetitions with the others.

The ship's company are most grateful to Mr. Hallfor coming down on 11th November for the party and itis hoped that children's parties of future commissionswill benefit from the liaison.

2,500 MILES BY RADIOGRAM

THE day before the ship sailed from Valparaiso, four

intrepid explorers, Lieutenant C. P. Williams, C/Sgt.Owen, E.R.A. Porter and A.B. Duthaler, set out in theship's Land Rover for Lima. The object was to reachLima, 2,500 miles away, before the ship.

The road, to say the least, was rough when it was notnon-existent, consisting mainly of a track covered withshale or loose stones. Pot-holes abounded and, curiouslyenough, the surface of the road had in the course oftime assumed corrugations running like waves along it.Each crest was about two inches high and we found thatthe only way to avoid being shaken about, was to reacha critical speed (some 45 m.p.h.) and maintain it.

Driving under these conditions was both extremelytiring and worrying. A puncture could send us off theroad - a broken axle could mean a long walk back toDevonport. Besides these hazards we had the everpresent dust. This found its way everywhere and thedriver, and often the passengers, wore goggles. It was toodry to perspire otherwise we would have been coveredin mud!

Between villages we had to cross desert country.Sometimes flat, sometimes mountainous. At one stage wehad to climb some 8,000 feet up an incline as steep asPorlock Hill, though much narrower and very winding.We reached the top breathless and with our hair on end!

At a town called Arica, on the Chile/Peru border wemet our first major set back. The authorities wereadamant that our papers were not in order, and that wewere deserters. The British Vice-Consul, Mr. Hulse, andhis wife came to our assistance and, during the forty-eight hours we had to wait to receive clearance fromSantiago, they treated us royally. Finally a telegram wasreceived from Santiago " Interpol authorised party to

41

leave Chile in their Radiogram No. 176/7." Despite itsambiguity this meant something to the Chilean authoritiesand, at last, we were allowed through the border.

On our trip we had our share of difficulties - punctures,leaking radiator, the problem of making ourselves under-stood in a foreign language. However, we reached Limaand there, the shame of it, to get utterly lost trying to findCallao !

We had covered 2,500 miles in 62 hours actual drivingtime. An average speed of just over 40 m.p.h. Thejourney was all an " exped " should have been. We drovehard and fast, we lived " rough," we somehow overcamethe difficulties of language, travel documents, andlogistics.

The climbs over mountain ranges were hair raising andthe road over the desert was boring; not a sign of life,not even a blade of grass for miles at a stretch.

The sight of the sun rising over the snow-cappedAndes was incredibly beautiful. The poverty of thepeople living in the small villages was pitiful.

We were not waiting on the jetty for the ship's arrivalin Callao. However, we achieved our main object - toarrive.

"THE NINE DAY WONDER"IN an attempt to further my education I once read abook called "How To Win Friends," and one of

the first rules was - never inflict compulsory exercise ona fellow human being. It was obvious to anyone of healthymind and body that the author of this best seller at thetime of writing was in bed. However, his words becameimmortal the day Lion commenced the leg fromFreetown to Rio de Janeiro of her voyage of goodwill.For, the very next day there appeared on Daily Ordersthe unusual routine, 0745-Seaman, Engine Room andOrdnance divisions to P.T. The Electrical and Supplyand Comms. divisions were also to be subjected to thisancient form of torture at 1545, not forgetting the Ward-room at noon, some of whom actually volunteered.Only two words can describe the effect of this announce-ment on the ship's company, " SHEER PANIC." Ashappens in great moments of impending doom in history,three unions formed overnight and every " Lion " affected,hastily joined the one that best served his cause. On theone hand there were the " over 35's," and judging bythe strength of this following we are older than we think.The second union was a queer mixture of humanity,ranging from those who were prepared to queue at theSick Bay and feign illness (insomnia is always a safe bet,although you may be forced to return bedding), to theremainder who found small stores and cabooshes to seekshelter in until the danger had passed. This left thethird group who could find no excuse not to attend andhad to pretend they enjoyed it, needless to say, they werein a minority.

One man held the key to this " SUICIDAL" experiment,and he was immediately hidden away by friends whofeared for his safety, as an assassination seemed likely.So, as the new day dawned a wave of expectancy sweptthe ship, and at 0745 the required personnel mustered onthe fo'c'sle. This caused the blunt end of the ship to leapup out of the water; however, this was remedied later bymaking the Marines take exercise down aft and keep theship trimmed. The whole operation nearly came to arapid close at 0746, when the disciple of the most nobleand ancient brotherhood of torturers disappearedbetween the barrels of "A" gun. Unfortunately the saidtorturer only severely jarred all 37 vertabrae and crackeda rib, so he was able to carry on. The Electrical, Supplyand Comms. divisions arrived in the late afternoon, allwearing dark glasses, as many of them hadn't seen day-light since leaving " Pompey." However, they survived,although the food ceased altogether - the lights went dimand the ensign dipped itself. The Wardroom session atnoon had disastrous repercussions, as church had to becancelled the following Sunday, the spirit being willingBUT the flesh weak.

On the second day all attendances dropped by half, butthe queue at the Sick Bay increased, all suffering from atouch of " Both Watches," or something. However, bythe eighth day due to service commitments, and the

43

disciple's refusal to come down from the crow's nest, thepowers that be, decided that the young " Lions " were ofmore value half-fit than half-dead. A considerable amountof time has passed since those devastating nine days,much goodwill has been spread and many " grippos "well and truly gripped, but one question is left - hasanyone seen the P.T.I. lately?

Other Things We've SaidMixed Messing.

Senior Rates mixed messing has been an enlightenmentto all concerned. An E.R.A. overheard the followingconversation in his mess, between two electrical buddies,while the ship spent the weekend at Spithead:

" I hear the ` tiffies ' have a big earth on the mainsteam pipe to repair, before we enter harbour."

Grypos.Coach trips, etc., were popular at all places visited.

One programme of tours had the heading " pendingwritten on it. When asked where he wanted to go, one" Lion " replied earnestly, " Pending! "

Only one man ever trod water with success. " Lions ''who tried it shall remain anonymous.

The Engine Room department have had a Spanishmember who shall be remembered as the " Senor Engi-neer! "

Bandy said: "Why haven't I got one of these lighters?"

" Truly this ship comes from the Northern Hemisphere- they have `TOP' painted on the bottom of theirbuckets."

" Does this turret work well? "" Yes, sir, it's been painted six times! "

Never say to an Engine Room rating: " How are youbearing up?"

I can't come midnight bathing - I forgot my trunks."

" Don't tell C.N.D., Haslemere, but 23 Mess once hadeighty people in their mess."

Commander (S), (1): " You can have as much food asyou want as long as it isn't wasted."

Commander (S), (2): " 150 men went round the buoy,if this continues, meal tickets will be issued."

"THE BOOTNECKS " - AN APPRECIATIONT HE reduction in capital ships combined with the

i ncreased Commando commitments means that all toofew of the Corps are getting the opportunity to serve witha R.M. detachment at sea. It was not surprising therefore,to find that only fifteen of the total of fifty-six all rankshad any previous sea service.

Not in the least deterred by this lack of experience theyjoined the ship certain that they would convince their" web-foot " friends that, though only a pocket-sized de-tachment, they would soon prove their value as an integralpart of the ship's organisation.

Throughout the commission a good deal of their timehas necessarily been devoted to Ceremonial Guards andBands too numerous to mention, though at Triestethey hit the " Jackpot " with seven in less than three

hours; Buenos Aires was a close second with three inone hour at the end of an afternoon when the ship wasworking tropical routine!

Whenever possible the band has " Beat Retreat," andhas proved extremely popular at every port. Stanceshave varied from the large concrete mole at Naples andthe narrow, cobble-stoned, spray-drenched pier atBeirut, to the delightful 17th century Spanish Square inthe old port of Cartagena in Colombia. Just as importantwere the band's alternative roles as a string orchestra,dance band or " Dixie " group, which have made them atremendous asset throughout cruises of the Mediterraneanand South America.

CANTEEN STAFF

ANONYMOUSAgain we left old England, the leave and refit done,And soon we reached our harbour to have another run.Some men bought their " rabbits," others stopped to think,Me? I wasn't worried, I just went for a drink,In Gibraltar.

We had to pick the Admiral up to take him on the cruise,I think it's better really, as he knows all the news.I saw the dark horizon, I looked and turned away,It's no good thinking shoresides if you're duty all that day,At Freetown.

The football ground's fantastic, Christ's statue is the same,And you can see the Sugar Loaf, the mountain of great fame.But these things are for dreamers, I didn't dream but fell,If hotel doors could only speak, what a story they could tell,Of Rio.

The dearest place we've ever been was our first impression,But soon we found the cheaper bars and had a little session.The annisette was very good, the bottles quite a size,I think the whole ship'scompany sailed with bloodshot eyes,From Buenos Aires.

The days go past so quickly, a new year now draws near.My new year's resolution? I'm drinking no more beer.I'm doing fine, so far so good, better now than some,Every time I go ashore I drink the local rum,Of Montevideo.

Have you ever seen a film where a cowboy town is shown?Well this place was the nearest that I have ever known.The main street was a dust track, with just two little bars,But alas! there were no cowboys, they all drove round in cars,At Madryn.

LAUNDRY STAFF

What can I say about this port? With words I wouldn't try.It's an image of a heaven where I'm going when I die,Where you can take a woman and love her without fear.We only stayed four days here, I'd prefer a year,At Valparaiso.

When I was just a young boy of twelve years or thirteen,I had romantic notions of countries never seen.But now that I am older, my children I can tell.The truth about these countries, the truth about the smell,Of Callao.

And now we reach the Panama, and take it in our stride,The last port of America is on the other side.Most of us bought presents of every shape and size.Me, I bought some maggots stuffed in a crocodile!From Cartagena

So now it's nearly over and we leave the mainland's shore,The first of two small islands to visit on our tour.We went up to the navy base to see the " limbo " go,And saw instead the idiots who tried to steal the show,At Puerto Rico.

The second isle was very small, of this I know no more,You see I'm under stoppage and just can't go ashore.From what I hear it's not too good, there's nothing here to thrill,The football team was beat again, the score? just seven nil,To the Azores.

The stars seem twice as starry, the sun seems twice as bright,The clocks are going forward now, nearly every night.No matter where I wander, no matter where I roam,I'll always feel excited when I'm going home,To England.

The Commander's Compliments

ONE of the nicest things I have heard about us came from a small ship -"Lion is the smallest big ship we have ever known."

There have been many nice things said about Lion in many countries by many dis-

tinguished people; but that, I think, sums us up more accurately than anything else. It

means that we have tried to do our job efficiently and in an unselfish, friendly and

cheerful way, and what is more, it was appreciated.
