    #25... thanks once again Graham . It all fits in like a jig saw now. My employers at the time were in a roundabout way Harley Mullion working from a box number in Southern Ireland. Would take too long to go into the deviousness of shipowners of the day, but you paid your money and took your chance just like the circus. I think one of the names mentioned was also on certain letterheads that conditions of employment they used to safeguard themselves against being sued for misleading misdemeanours. When you read posts on here about what was considered ordinary conventional shipping makes one wonder if you were alone on the unconventional side of the industry. All ships were not the same as much as we would like to think, maybe that should be re-phrased to the ships were similar but the way they were managed was different. Thanks for the info.certified cheque in post from a Hong Kong bank. ???!!! Cheers JS.
