Thank you Rafe!

PL ok - and follows on very nicely from the previous story which was also slightly nautical! (although must less gruesome :lol: )

Thank you, Alix and Dale! I have entered the author as Cargray Cook, since that's the name on the story. I have added in his "bio" that he may or may not be Oscar Cook, as some sources disagree, eg. http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/ea.cgi?18191 *shrug*

Hi :

Say it ain't so. That might not have been his real name?? But it said it on the internet (without sources, my favorite kind of internet quote), so it must be so.

I am glad we have editors.

Thanks

Hi Dale,

Thank you!
A couple of PL notes
In the intro you say 'Richard Martin Oscar Cook writing as Cargray Cook ' - I wasn't sure whether it was appropriate to keep this after the chat as it's disputed
2.28ish - 'swerve front to side' for swerve from side to side
7.05ish - 'mental compliment' for 'mental comment'

Thanks!

Hi:

You're right. The text says Cook, so now the reading says Cook, the reader can find out the rest if they are interested.

at 2:15 and 6:55 the corrections are made. Thank you for catching those.

(but it doesn't say "I see dead people" anywhere in the story...)

Thanks
