Lighter-
I'm actually more interested in where you found the Bill Adam's fragment. I've read his fascinating autobiography and have a copy of his nautical poetry book WIND IN THE TOPSAILS. I know he also wrote many short stories, many of a nautical nature. I've set several of his poems to music, the most successful one being "Bound Away!"
Cheerily,
