His name was Reijnders, Hendrick Reijnders. He did, he influenced me a lot. I'm glad you asked that question. I remember once we... we pulled into... to Vigo and... and there had been a fairly big storm but not as much as when we... Vigo is... is a town in Galicia, city actually, Galicia is just north of Portugal, in... in Spain, in Galicia in Spain, and there was another British ship there on some kind of mysterious sailing trip, and they’d lost the mast in the same storm. And one of the crew, the wife of the owner of the ship, came over to talk to Henry and she said, ‘Should I go on, should we continue on?’ They were going... on their way to Mombasa, East Africa. So Henry says, ‘Press on, always press on’. So he had this thing, if you have a goal, you don't stop. You just... you just keep going. He was an indomitable fellow and I think that saw him through all the adventures he'd had in early life and he was... he was a very good leader. I mean, he was, he led by screaming and yelling and cursing. I was the only non-Dutch speaking guy on board and the only American, so that I... it... was a target of a certain amount of insults, based on that. It was a funny crew, there was a guy, Henry was in the underground and one of the other crew had been a policeman who had, you know, was jobless, and he had a kind of... his wife was on board as well, and there was a lot of friction but nothing serious happened until there was a knifing later on. Nobody got seriously hurt. In any case, so that, yes, I did... I did learn a lot about... and the... and the idea of, you know, if you've got a goal, you stick with it. There are going to be lots of hazards but of course it's important if you have a worthwhile goal. But when you are on a ship, the goal’s to get, you know, to land some place, to get some... some place. Yeah he did. I saw him... I saw him and, you know, we kept in touch for years afterwards too.
