During our 66 cruise we had a funny incident happen in Hong Kong. We had a little guy named Newberry or Goodbarry that was only on the ship a very short time. He got drunk, and on the way back to the ship, he threw the owner of the water taxi, (walla walla I think they were called ) overboard. He then started delivering sailors to their respective ships. Apparently the guy he threw overboard was rescued because the harbor patrol caught him. I heard he was sent to the brig in Yokosuka. Does anyone remember this incident?

I remember getting a good laugh out of it at the time. What did the guy do on the ship? I barely remember him.

Wes

Wes, I don't remember what he did, I kinda think he was in 1'st division. The more I think about it, the more I think I remember the incident. Doty, Premaux, Hurt, you were all aboard then, what do you remember?
