But maybe we could be in for some fun if we nipped over to the French coast at night, hid under the cliffs, and hit the Jerries when they went to sea. By the time their aircraft were up we could be back on our side of the channel with some hope of air cover. Also we have a new toy to discourage low level attacks." "Gee, thanks for the new idea skipper." replied Christopher. Two of the men from the civilian crews asked if they could go along and dish out some of what they had been receiving. A navy rating said that civilians were not allowed on missions. The civilians acknowledged that they knew this, as the lieutenant, who was still fairly sober, gave them a knowing wink. He invited them back to the ship for a nightcap. "Well men, we must get back and relieve the watch." Chadwick replied as midnight was approaching.
