Need a Book Name

[JoK]

Back in the 80's I was given a book, long out of print, about a scottish chief engineer on a steamer.
He went into the engineroom in his slippers, liked his scotch ad managed by ignoring.
Anyone remember what the books names are, they were titled after the Chief.
I long ago gave my copy to an Ex.

Exactly, I had the Colin! Could not remember the rest at all.

Yep, slippers. It was the omnibus I had, he would go into the ER in his slippers. That always stuck with me.

The television series was another subconscious influence on my decision to go to sea.

The US version of the show re-casted the Chief Engineer for a Captain. The on line synopsis:"The comedic adventures of a mischievous skipper aboard a steam ship, the Inchcliffe Castle, sailing the Caribbean".
