Time to throw a dart at the world map Tom. Need the agent to come up with a job for us. Cost me a bundle to get the dry dock work done this year.

Two days -- Oh! good -- at least we can get to go first footing - lang may yer lum reek an' au that! I have made contact with a Mr. "X" in Gdansk -- apparently in about 2 weeks he will have in his posession a series of paintings, borrowed? from a palace in St. Peterburg, which he would like us to pick-up in Gdansk and take to New York. To be shown as "burlap" on the manifest. Enough in it for us to pay for fuel for the next 5 years, or gold plate Tmacs Black Bush header tank. Given the time frame, we can spend a few days in Copenhagen on the way.
