Hearne was an explorer, back of 'ship' = the letter P.
gold is Au and around = C (circa).

joking of course, not 100& sure of that answer.
As for the other one, if there is a V as the third letter - Divan(sofa-bed)? - it beats me,maybe a place name in Oz?

Thanks Trevor I'll see how it all fits together. Anything goes. Hapeedaze
