Must get round to reading his books...had too many
recommendations to ignore.

Meanwhile, an obituary

"Excuse me Captain, problem with the Euphroes again."
"Get O'Brian up here, if it's about Euphroes, he's the one to
see."
....Not only does O'Brian know all there is to know and more 'pon
the topic of Euhproes, and Rigging even more obscure, - he's also
acknowledg'd the best Yarn-Spinner in the Fleets.
[M&D p.54]
