    Back in the day, shipping companies considered passengers as cargo (Titantic). “Ordinary” I suppose it would depend on one’s disposition. And “stowed properly” would mean the guys where at one of the pubs/lounges and the women were knitting or playing bridge.

    Much like an anouncement over a PA system today of a sighting of George Clooney, in part because I can’t think of a cross-gender example, plus back in the day most of us guys would have bolted as fast as the women, it would go something like, “The Beatles are now performing live starboard on the Lido deck!”

  • Dude

    wool, or a cargo that could swell when it met water, such as rice.”

  • Dude

    You’re right, John. The answer is RICE.

    You’re today’s winner.
