Navigator - First Class, Able Seaman Potter had flipped a
coin at the Cape of Good Hope and chartered a southerly
course - just to see if his shipmates had a sense of
humor.
Evidently not, it seemed, when he revealed his joke several
freezing days later, to a decidedly unjocular crew.
He was summarily keel-hauled, demoted to Bilge Hand - Fourth
Class, and assigned to Pointless Lubrication Duty.
