| Since joining the Coast Guard in 1982, Mr. Roberts has held a number of positions in the region, including deckhand, leading deckhand, and bosun. |
| There were voices, too, the ingenuous bawlings of that bosun, offensively active. |
| The master immediately sent the second officer to have the bosun and chief officer drop the anchors. |
| Auxiliary search and rescue craft were quickly on the scene, but the bosun could not be found. |
| In the late afternoon, the bosun and another crew member were securing the port lifeboat ready for sea. |
| On board the Kent, not only had the bosun placed himself in a dangerous position, he was undertaking a two-person task alone. |
