Sinbad, "Over the Hill" in Sicily, Nabbed by Shore Police. It's just too bad for Sinbad. His gay shore liberties in foreign ports are over. Sinbad, mascot of the Coast Guard combat cutter Campbell, went "over the hill" in Sicily and his ship departed without him. A week later, the S.P.S. caught up with him, and shipped him back aboard a destroyer. He was returned to the Campbell at an East Coast port for a joyous reunion with his old Coast Guard shipmates. Sinbad's record for good conduct along 310,00 miles of sea duty and in scores of foreign ports is legendary, but the code of the sea services is strict. For going AWOL, Sinbad went before the captain's mast. The sentence denied him liberty in foreign ports in the future.
