A young woman in Cape Town was so depressed that she decided to endher life by throwing herself into the ocean. She went down to thedocks and was about to leap into the frigid water when a handsome young deck-hand saw her tottering on the edge of the pier, crying. Hetook pity on her and said, "Look, you've got a lot to live for. We'reoff to Europe in the morning, and if you like, I can stow you away on this ship. I'll take good care of you and bring you food every day."Moving closer, he slipped his arm round her shoulder and added, "I'llkeep you happy, and you'll keep me happy, OK?"
The girl nodded yes. After all, what did she have to lose? Maybe afresh start in Europe would give her life new meaning. That night,the sailor brought her aboard and hid her in a lifeboat. From then on, every night he brought her three sandwiches and piece of fruit, andthey made passionate love until dawn. Three weeks later, during aroutine inspection, she was discovered by the captain. "What are you doing here?" the captain asked. "I have an arrangement with one of the sailors," she explained. "I get food and a trip to Europe, and he gets to screw me.""He sure is, lady," the captain said. "This is the Ferry making trips between Robben Island and the Waterfront."
