October 6, 1914

In hospital.

In the ship’s hospital, your Bear made her rounds.

The room was packed tightly with bunk beds, and every one of them held a seasick man. A sharp odor tickled her nose.

Winnie went from bed to bed, attending to each patient with a sniff of their blankets and letting them pet her if they wanted.

Once she made her rounds, she returned to the corner farthest from the door, paused to rub her side against Brodie sleeping in the bottom bunk, and climbed up to where Harry lay miserably. He was shivering, so she curled up with her back pressed into his belly to warm him.

The ship lurched, and ugly sounds spurted from throats throughout the hospital room.

A new man in a white smock and spectacles came to check on Harry. When he saw your Bear, he said, “What is—Shoo! Out of here!” and swatted at her with his clipboard.

“Let her stay,” said Harry. “She’s our mascot.”

“She could be the King of England,” said the doctor. “Absolutely no animals in hospital!”

“Are you calling the King of England an animal?” Brodie cracked from the bottom bunk, earning a few weak chuckles from the other patients.

The last thing your Bear saw was Harry sitting up, watching helplessly as the doctor chased her out the door.
