As a young man I worked on a small coaster for a couple of months or so, Hamburg - Baltic Sea - North Sea - Channel - Irish Sea - Liverpool - etc. In a Finnish port timber was loaded. As instructed by the captain it was my job to count the countless boards at the pier. It was the very year when Harry Belafonte's Banana Boat song was a summer hit. That comes to my mind when I'am reading "tally".
By the way, working on a coaster was by no means spoiled time for this school-leaving young adult - on the contrary, it sharpened his mind to differentiate between nonsense and things that make sense - as for instance the strike of Liverpudlian dockers (sense) and leaflets distributed by both the CP and the Militant tendency asking dockers being on strike or locked out to go on strike (nonsense).
