The Surprise
Here be one of me finest tales matey. Yar.
One evening me lookout shouted, “Thar be a ship on coming at
us on the Starboard side of the ship, Cap’n!” Upon hearing this I turned her
about and ordered the long guns to be drawn.
“Ye don’t fire ‘till ye can see the whites of thar eyes then
use a chain shot to take out their mast!” I then said. “We’ll send them to the
locker if it be the last thing we do!” Then me hartys, the battle begun. It was
a ruthless one, mostly on their side.
When the battle was done I had only lost one of my crew
members, but what we found on the other ship made up for it. We had found some
cackle fruit and even more booty than we had planned! All of it in doubloons of
the finest of gold. We had also found a large amount of the crew’s Nelson’s
Folly. That be a grand evening. I wish I would have kept one of the bottles to
take a nip off of every now and then.
After we got all of the 6 iron balls out we burnt their ship
and went on our way in search of the loot we had set off course for in the
first place. Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
