I'll forward this thread to Johnny Collins. Kitty |

It's a good investment. Charley Noble |

Dogbody lost his "larboard" leg at the Battle of Copenhagen, as commemorated by James Normal Hall (coauthor of Mutiny on the Bounty) in a book of the same name as the good Doctor. Of course Dr. Dogbody is also said to have regaled his friends with at least 9 other versions of how he lost his leg. I have taken the liberty of composing a ballad which while it can't do justice to the stories at least summarizes them: Click here and search for lyrics! Ah, for a glass of old Port Royal!
