- the crew on the Bounty had just spent several weeks playing \"sailors-on-leave and native maidens\" with the girlies on Tahiti and couldn\'t give a damn about breadfruit if they could get back there.
- I am told that the NSW Rum Corps was sent to war in another colony in disgrace and gained further fame as the soldiers that burned Washington (I don\'t have confirmation of this - but intend to check)
Sounds like an interesting book - will be looking out for it.</HTML>
