This was me.

One more yarn

Whe I was serving as the Electrical Officer in the destroyer H.M.C.S. Cayuga we sailed from Esquimalt, BC, south to the Panama Canal, through the canal and then visited some of the islands. We went alongside a jetty in Kingston, Jamaica and the next day we had a cocktail party onboard and a number of the locals were invited. As one of the hosts I spoke with a Jamaican reporter and he asked me to meet him at the Press Club in Kingston the next day for a drink or two. While we were consuming refreshments a man came and spoke to my host for some time and I was unable to understand a word that he said. After the man left , I asked the reporter what language he spoke. The reporter replied, "English".I was quite embarassed that I had'nt realized he spoke pidgin English.
