He had signed on 9 Aug 1923 at Gothenburg, and was listed as not being discharged at this port. However, when the ship departed on 6 Sep he was listed among the 72 crew members who had deserted.16
     But he continued working aboard ships. He was listed as an assistant steward aboard the S.S. Manchuria departing New York 25 Jun 1924, bound for Havana, the Canal Zone, Los Angeles and San Francisco.
