 Cargunka also owns a marine stores company in Appledaulf and two bars, one connected to the marine stores company called the Red Lyon, and one on the waterfront in San Francisco, called the Dot-And-Carry-One Saloon.Cargunka's ship is actually captained by one Captain Gell, while Cargunka assumes the role of ship's cook, allegedly to save money, since he does not need to hire a cook.We are told that cooking is his "hobby, almost his passion," and that sailors love to ship out with him because of the quality of the food he produces; however, the only actual cooking that Hodgson describes Cargunka doing is peeling potatoes, and he seems to do a lot of this, even in his office.
