  on the floor in every corner

  + in all positions. We did not

  get too much food at a time

  but could get all we wanted

  by going for seconds. The

  I stript to the waist every

  time I went to a meal.We

  used to wait every night to

  be taken on to deck to sleep

  for we could not get there

  or two to lay on + overcoat +

  raincoat over me. I considered

  it much better + healthier than

  the place downstairs. I Slept

  on deck every night except

  two, + it was to cold + wet
