our other dinners on this trip have been joyous , with messrs. seabrook , gibson , and hinckley in attendance in my cabin , and with the shantyman to provide music and laughter , but it was n't quite the same without good old captain gussie , he having passed on to a place hopefully joyous enough to contain the spirit of that happy man , and mairead , back on the cerberus and bedded up with her dear ian , and all the members of the crews right now spreading the joy of their presence through the colony at new south wales .
