Ay, about a fortnight ago ...
me and the galley wench were in port for a roundezvous with our scurvy offspring at the place where the flyin' machines land like a sea bird on a calm sea. I be wearin' me cap from Antiqua with the skull and bones displayed.Arr, with time to kill I took fancy to a journal about our brethren "Under the Black Flag" and decided to purchase said journal, bein' unarmed and outmanned and generally in a jovial mood. Damned if the scurvy devil of a merchantman didn't snicker as he eyed me cap and me journal whilst I paid the ducat. The bloke had good fortune that day as me cutlass be back at the ship, or his head would otherwise be separated with one stroke from ear to ear. Avast me maties! signed, Mad Tom Flint
