One was called Paul, the other Rolo. Paul was square-shaped and friendly looking with direct eyes and greyish hair, Rolo was lanky with long blonde hair, prematurely balding. I liked Paul; he looked as if he knew what was going on. I wanted to be him. Rolo looked cruel, he looked the sort of person who would mock. He was. Paul said this to me on most days from then on. He seemed to feel it was his duty to encourage me to leave the sea as soon as possible, although after this short daily speech, he helped me and guided me in finding out all the little things that made life at sea fit together. Rolo was a different proposition. He liked to humiliate, to draw attention to every foolish move I made.
