Hi yall. It's past time that I register here, I've been reading Louis for thirty years. I'm currently rereading To the Far Blue Mountains and got a bit confused. Barnabas is told that some of his men have heard the story of Tatton Chantry leaving a treasure galleon on the coast with what treasure he couldn't carry still on it a few years prior. Later he is sailing away from Ireland when a young man named Tatton stows away. I believe the details of his conversation with the stow away make that young man also Tatton Chantry. Am I missing something? I've never noticed this before, but I have a bit more time to read lately too.
I thought so too but the 'original' Tatton entered England through Bristol (I think) where as the young Irish stowaway was put ashore in Falmouth or in Cornwall or Devon. Possibly the next generation that went to and stayed in the New World. Les Every sixty seconds you spend angry, upset or mad, is a full minute of happiness you'll never get back..
Leo Lessard - The funny part out of both references is when the boy is asked his name. Since the "original" got it from a dead man, in both stories, they say exactly the same thing - Tatton and that's all I am saying - or close to that anyway.
