    Default Double Dr's

    Hi All,

    In my my short time at sea I did not see too many problems. Just the usual few fights and some personnel being replaced on the ship.
    I heard at least three crew mates telling me stories of people being stabbed to death, "young ladies" who were still on board when sailing
    from a port and then being thrown overboard. Having to lock the cabin door as soon as you finished your watch to avoid being attacked.
    I have no idea if these events are true as I did not see them, but maybe some of you guys out there have seen some things where the
    somebody ended up with a double DR.
    Cheers
    Ray Money

    Have seen 14 double DRs all at the same time. Look up two seperate posts on the Rosewood if want to see a bit of violence. Re stabbings and shootings. The DRs were on the Exmoor about 1960 , the others about 1970, Im sure there were plenty of other ships in between if people want to fill in your curiosity on such. Happy nightmares JS

    Look up my worse Xmas at sea. For a bit of violence . Just for starters I was not there off Chile but can vouch for the authenticity of it. JS.

    #4. Often wondered how they ever came to that conclusion Cappy, unless you made it obvious or someone snitched on you. The obvious entry would be failed to join . Then a L.A 2 form would be despatched via the consulate to the BSF . All the other paperwork for local authority’s etc would also have to be done , if all your gear was gone would be a good pointer to your departure , but there again the little green men may have packed for you. However you were caught weren’t you and didn’t hold out through the 3 degree and admitted it even before the first toenail came off. Left some little girl broken hearted after offering her the deiights of Derby Street Baths.
    A life on the ocean wave , a life on the rollicking deep. And the final promise you made her a trip on the Shield ferry and a day in the spanish city where you could get rid of all your foreign coins . Ah well such is life. JS...
