Could have been Welsh Lamb Marion.
Was on my second trip, homeward bound from Bowen in Queensland with a load of Wheat. Up the Barrier Reef and around the top end, across the Indian Ocean, Three days out from Capetown ran out of food and only enough water to drink, showered in sea water. Then the cook cleaning out the duck boards in the freezer came across two Rabbits squashed under them, he made a big pot of stew, made me and a few others sick as dogs, never ate rabbit after.
