<HTML>Hi Lawrence -
Yes - lesser men would almost certainly have been floored by a glass or two !
He claims that they got through two-thirds of the above highly inflammable mix between the two of them, and then had (not surprisingly) some difficulty in finding their way back to their ships. He mentions a few `buchstäblichen Reinfällen` en route - which I take it means `literal fallings-in` - before being helped on board by the watch.
A `fruitful` (`fruchtbar` - his word, not mine !) exchange of views overall, though, between the two of them.
Best wishes
Frank
