On my last ship crewed by ratings from the Gold Coast "The Ezekiel" was just below the "Topaz" in the Cast pecking order. He carried out those tasks that Topaz found distasteful primarily retrieving lobsters from the Sparkies bum. The poor creatures were not fit for consumption so they were given to the Bhandahry for disposal. Sparks took two suppositories 4 times daily with a tumbler of BOT lime juice until he saw a witch doctor in Bonny who gave him sudofed and a jar of thermidor sauce labelled only to be opened in case of extreme hunger. The Ezekiel was ever so happy.
