Hi again Mike. Yes I always confuse the 6th May with August because of a family date. Old age I suppose.6th May is correct. As if I haven't written enough about it, you think it would be burned into my brain. I have completed the work. I have it available on CD @ $25 posted. it is about 200 A4 pages. Or a B/W book $25 plus about $6 postage. I think you might be interested in my speculation re Andrew. It takes the story from the building of the ship, the trip, the court case, the fire and the settlement of the men in NSW. If you are interested; Send cheque to W. Archbold, POB 7 Yagoona, 2199.
