come on Stewards, you hears the man. Off down the gangway and fetch his gear aboard and stow it in the 2nds cabin on the double.

Tanoy: attention all crew. Drinks in the crew bar on me to celebrate the return of our 2nd injunier.

Glad to see our "burlap" was conveniently smuggled ashore wrapped up in canvas to simulate drunken drew members. Hiking party with large back packs deposited their contents in Sir Williams private vault in return for the "burlap". Proceeds of that little escapade should keep us in the finer things in life for the next 6 months at least.

Make sure the legs are long enough to hid it this time. scared ladies away last time you wore shorts. some of the ladies are not happy to see the wedding tackle of that size.

Never phased an Aussie Nurse. But genetically they have very small hands.

Yep, Nassau will do nicely. We must organise an evening's entertainment at the casinos on Paradise Island.

Good to have another pair of experienced hands joining us. See you in the bar later Engine Serang. (Sir William and I are OK with Screaming Jimmies and Gardners and such, but TMac's advanced mechanical wonders need some special care and attention!)

BEWARE I believe that Red-17 is an Australian nurse. I have, however, found that dainty hands can achieve mighty things.

Affirmative, Dartskipper -- Make arrangements for morning departure bound for the Bahamas.


Voyage preparatory planning party in the PAX lounge. My shout.

On my way now!

Although Red may have dainty hands she also has a tranquilising gun so be afraid. Be very afraid!

I'm like Billy Connolly, I've slept on so many carpets I can tell Axminister from Wilton by taste.

Anyway we must have an RPC to bond together again but no vermin from the engine room bilges. Standards will be upheld as long as I am the Do Sahib.

Muchos Salaams Tmac, I knows my place in the pecking order doon the pit. Chief, Beatrice Potter and then me. But if they run up the inside leg of ma biler suit then its fricasse for tea. Control them, we don't need another BOT Inquiry like the one with that chit of an Aussie nurse. Do we?
Can we talk it over with a wee nightcap after night rounds?

McC assures me that his gang of cutthroats, sorry, cutouts, will have everything singled up before sun up. Main engines will be warmed through ready for our customary stealthy high speed departure before the shore gang have turned to.

On my way up to the PAX.

Make mine a big one.

Oh, it all ready is.

Cutthroats? CUTTRHOATS???

I will have you know DS that my team is a highly trained, highly skilled multi-disciplined task force who are there to assist the GD and help ensure the smooth running of the vessel.

Gangway security, sail handling, fore and aft mooring parties, fishing crew - the list goes on and on!

Why only recently my team managed to successfully ensure that a New York Taxi that somehow ended up in the dock ahead of us will never be traced to our organisation and managed to stop a crowd of angry Septics demanding the return of a stainless steel pole!

As a bunch of cut-outs I really believe you could not find a better crowd!

I am sure that at some future port of call, YOU may be dependent on my team to extricate you from some dubious situation. Now I do not mind - that, along general security, is part of the Master at Arms' role and my team are there to support you all.

Large Scapa please Steward!

McC

Certainly mon brave, us brothers of the spanner need to stick together especially around those deckie type cut throats

I shall wear my Chief Injuneers nightcap in honour of the occasion. it's the one with the blue stripe round the edge and the big woolly knob on the top.

They are a grand bunch of people, if the occasion demanded I am sure that problems and possibly people would disappear.

How crude to call them Cut-throats when Gentlemen of the Night is available as a description.

I note that they all wear jersey's with a double 00 inscription.
