Steward! taker this case of Old Tawney up to Mr Varley please with my compliments. after that a case of Jamiesons to the engine control room.I am off for a walk round the deck to see if theres any flying fish for lunch.

I've seen flying fish from the deck of the TSS Northern Star, a long time ago now, but I've never eaten one. Are they nice?
I think we should all chip in to get some pussy for Varley. Anyone in favour of that?
I've just finished reading Alistair Maclean's Santorini. Whilst in the Med, can we go and see it?
A mate has just got a job making chessmen. He's on knights this week.

Knights were always good - free days to yourself....................

Thank you for your kind words Mr Varley. Stewards on his way toi you with a case of old Tawney.
