Now, if the crew of the Indy did Dicky III, Horatio would have to be the man himself and Archie could be Lady Anne.

Meant to say -how fascinating - truly a differnt on shore occupation for one of HM Navy's own.
Mind you there was enough intrigue and desire, jealousy and courage in there (the navy)to stir up Shakesperian lengths of poetry !
