"Steam was rising from the mud, and from the concrete. By noon, we were trying to huddle under any cover we could erect to protect us from the sun. In the afternoon, word was passed we would be permitted to go in the water and clean ourselves off. Spence and I weren’t about to miss a chance to immerse ourselves in the cool water. Spence was the possessor of a bar of soap and away we went to the sea! One of our friends volunteered to guard all of our belongings. It was a pleasant experience, and we remained in the water for over an hour. "
