Thanks Charley,

I have looked and it appears the only library that has his works is Otago University, I am unsure if they would do an inter-library loan, but will look into it.

I did post something to you over the weekend but it looks as though it hasn't appeared.

I have had a look at your webpage of my great-grandfather and that looks great, as I said earlier I am happy that his work is out there for people to see. Just one note he actually ran away to sea at the age of 7 or 8. Which is rather scary seeing my youngest is now 7!!

He was a self taught man, knowing only Gaelic when he ran away. Working his way from scoop boy on a fishing boat to Captain.

I will look up some photos and try and send the best to you, the ones I have are copies of copies !

Regards
Suzi
