Petty Officer Whitaker had tempted fate by saying: ‘Why would they go missing when they have the best food and daily spruce-ups and health checks?’ Two hours later Takoma had gone Awol. ‘Twenty-four hours is not unusual,’ a nervous Petty Officer Whitaker said. ‘After all, he may meet some local company.’ Takoma has now been missing for 48 hours and the solitary figure of Petty Officer Whitaker could be seen yesterday patting the water, calling his name and offering his favourite fish, but there was no response.
