May one presume that R.M.S. Tahiti - and her cargo - still rests at the bottom of the Pacific?
For those wondering what an earth the old twit is rambling about, I have finally - yes, finally - sat down to read 'Round the World in a Baby Austin' and got as far as discovering why the trip was made in "Emily II".
