Today is Morse Code day, and the birthday of Samuel Morse one of the inventors of the telegraph code. I passed the Morse test at South Shields Merchant Navy College in 1955. It was the second attempt. I failed my first test because of nerves and trembling hands. The second attempt went splendidly – hands rock-steady twenty minutes after I swallowed two purple hearts (Benzedrine tablets) sold to me by a sympathetic chemist down Ocean Road, for a florin.
