Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: handwritten note

The last extract of his hand-writing I posted was written a few months before his death - he was 84 then - could his handwriting have changed over the years?...

I did wonder if it was the number "13" followed by something.  Here is another example of his handwriting.

First Girl Guide - Thank you - it's much clearer.

Also, Seaweed, initially, I wanted to steer clear of ships (pardon the pun) as the family never associated him with ships.  Thanks for those links.

Hello Alan,

Just wondering if the second word could be Benturon and then another short word...

Thanks for your help.

looking at the note again, it doesn't look like "penitentiary".

Hi again,
No luck on news archives with a ship "Belle ....".  However, you came up with the word "penitentiary" - I tried it out preceded by "Bill" as in act, law, etc.  and a few "penitentiary" associated with "bill" came up in the 1842-1844 period as regards the Penal Laws Repeal Bill.   Could it be "bill penitentiary"???  Strange order of words, though...

I have a subscription with Britishnewspaper archives.  I'll try a few things with "Belle ......".  Thanks a million.
