There is one incident that stands out to me as an inconsistency. In Fair Blows the Wind, in chapter 5, Tatton mentions an old fisherman that gave him some money and clothes and advice to, “Leave the shore and go inland away from it. There be, many accents in England…try to learn a trade…” In chapter 21 of To the Far Blue Mountains a lad stows away on Barnabas’ ship in Ireland and is discovered when they land. The description of the boy is the same as Tatton, with the fine shoulders and the conversation that Barnabas has with him is almost exactly the same. At the end of the chapter the lad says, “My name?” He hesitated. “My first is Tatton. I’ll not be telling the other.”

It really doesn't change the enjoyment of either story and obviously since Louis said the hulk was the treasure ship, then that's that, but I just wondered if anyone had noticed or cared about this discrepancy.
