This was also the case with the crews of the Dutch Bloomersdijk and the Norwegian tanker, Christian Knudsen.
The next day the Air Force identified the UFO's; they were Air Force airplanes, KC-97 aerial tankers, refueling B-47 jet bombers in flight. The reason for the weird effect that startled so many Southern Californians was that when the refueling is taking place a floodlight on the bottom of the tanker airplane lights up the bomber that is being refueled.
"Don't know, and won't until I learn the method. But just north of us is the west-to-east track of outbound low-power steamers, which, I take it, means tramps and tankers. Well, we'll have good use for a tanker." "You mean we're to hold up one for oil?" "Of course, and for grub if we need it." "Piracy, Forsythe." "Have pirates got anything on us, now?" asked Forsythe.

"Say, Mister," asked Whistler, turning to the skipper of the smack, "is there a tank ship in here?" "An oil tanker? No! Nothing like it." "I smell it, too!" exclaimed Ikey suddenly.

He is married and has one son. It was while Mr. Ormondroyd was at college that David and the Phoenix first intruded into his consciousness.
On this I was rated as purser at twenty-five cents for the trip. Most tramps can roll, but an empty tanker going west against prevailing winds in the "roaring forties" can certainly give points to the others.
Then we were off for the mouth of the Pasig which was not far away. There we saw the most spectacular fire I have ever seen. A great oil tanker full of Cocoanut-oil had burst into flame, trapping thirty men in its awful furnace.
"The German system is a marvel, one of the wonders of civilization." She turned away, lightly singing a line from one of her late numbers: "I've a Yankee boy bound for Berlin."

August Turnbull refused to be drawn into further speech; he inhaled his cigar with a replete bodily contentment.
