Date Posted: Saturday, June 14, 11:34:51am Hi Guys and guys Have any of you experienced Stowaways aboard ship?... I have TWICE. On a small cargo ship which was vying between Leith and Lisbon we picked up this Portuguese guy allegedly trying to get back to Liverpool to see his wife. I was galley boy and only became aware of him because of extra food request from deck crew, who were acting suspiciously, I met the guy, he was friendly and I agreed to keep the secret we dropped him off in Leith, turned round went back to Lisbon… Four weeks later on our return, he was waiting on the dockside with immigration officials. The crew were all interrogated by immigration and needles to say I was terrified with the intense questioning, but managed to keep my secret.. The Stowaway had to work his passage back to Lisbon and the ingrate did not speak to anyone the whole trip back. Stowaway No 2.. Arzeu Algeria, where there was a Foreign Legion fort, on sailing day a company of Legionaries came aboard looking for deserters among our deck cargo of cork bales. They found two deserters. I wouldn’t have like to be in their shoes on their return to camp, shades of Beau Geste I guess. How about your stories Cheers to All Frank [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
