cigarette. When 2/o asked him if he had [a] problem he said no. When 2/O
ask him if he had taste[d] marijuana and shabu before, he admitted YES it
taste[d] very good. He said he taste[d] marijuana during his high school
days and shabu during his college days.
After [the] crews[,] coffee break, at abt 1530 to 1745, he [was] on deck
walking around with sometimes a basketball ball on his hand sometimes
mop handle and sometimes a floor mop itself. The crew had to [stop]
working when he pass[ed] by for they [were] afraid that he might hit them.
At dinner time he [came] down to crew messroom wearing white uniform
with shoulder board wearing short pants (sleeping short pants) and rubber
shoes without socks. After dinner he join[ed] the crew in [the] smoke room
and [kept] on talking and laughing. Without any sense.
He [was] still under guard by one crew most of the time especially during
night time until he [got] inside his cabin and [slept]. But in the early
evening he [brought] his pillow and blanket in [the] crews[,] smoke room to
sleep.
