- I must confess, its been about nine years since I wrote the paper that
- this information came from. However, based on my memories, this is the
- heading that the ship is coming FROM. i.e. from the west. Like I said,
- its been a while--a LONG while-- so please, correct me if I'm wrong. I'll
- be sure to check my sources tonight when I get home.

- By the way-- To all who replied to my postings, Thanks! I really ap-
- preciated the comments from everyone!
