Is it Varley's secret stash of booze or Tmacs secret entrance for 'nubile young women' into the injun room. Or is it a secret crop of ?????. If it is the latter it is no wonder the mules goes berserk every now and then.

Also: Please explain TANNOY.
Please do not be too upset -- the garden, known as Mary's garden was first established by Mary and she turned a plain ordinary deck into the lush profusion of rare vegetables, trees, shrubs, lawns and flowers that we enjoy today. It was when her garden reached it's full profusion that Mary's husband passed away and she left the ship, I understand to grieve and get her real life together. Actually to be her assistant is to bestowed a great honour.

TANNOY is actually a Yankee expression for a ship's public announcement system.
