I read it! (#21)
Wonderful issue. Thank you for giving such good background for Jerome, it made me feel much closer to him. And I just love some good sword fighting.
One little typo, in panel 3 on page 11:
"Leadership cannot just be assumed. It has to be earned. When I was awarded my first ship, I quickly learned that a crew which respects you responds better than one which hates or fears. you."
There's a full stop too many.

Re: I read it!
Thanks for the proof read. I'll fix that directly...

Re: I read it!
I'm getting a lot of practice in proofreading, lately. Your stories have the decided advantage of being pure joy to proofread.

Re: I read it!
I have another question.
Are you familiar with the "Ramage" novels by Dudley Pope?

Re: I read it!
I'm sure my father had several of them. He was a big fan of naval fiction, but though I read a lot of his books I don't think I ever got round to Ramage.

Re: I read it!
I just had to ask, because Ramage's sidekick (or faithful seaman/bosun) is called Allday.

Re: I read it!
I seem to recall Richard Bolitho from Alexander Kent's books had a faithful coxswain (or something) called Allday, which is probably where I got the name from.
I freely admit I am not original with my character names

Re: I read it!
Hmmm, maybe it was Bolitho, we have both series.
I just wondered if it was on purpose.
