The crew preparing to greet us , their umpteenth load of passengers , that day.I must say,at this point,I chatted with many of the different crews, on the various lake steamers, and they were all,without exception , polite,courteous and good humoured.To the point that on one occasion,a crew member threw the main docking rope at a post and missed.In the crowd of passengers waiting to board,was a rowdy ,fat,Scotsman, who heckled the crew for missing the mark,then applauded them when they got it right at the second attempt.The crew member smiled gratiously, and I thought laughed,too.The bald headed member of our party,was heard to say , "Yer lucky she's in a good mood, 'cos after heckling me you wouldn't be getting on my ship!"
