The Pegleg Skipper and the Iberian Blade ( )

Gentry, the Catch Scarlet Queen, Philip Carney, Master. Position, eight degrees, four minutes south, 112 degrees, 20 minutes east. Wind fresh, sky fair. Remarks, cleared Surabaya Java after losing valuable cargo. Reasonful loss, the peg-legged skipper and the Iberian blade.

Followed some dirty weather into the harbor of Surabaya. But as soon as we tied up to the semirang trading company's docks the skies cleared, then the ports business renewed. Harborcraft skittered to and fro, profit in Dutch Florence passed from hand to hand under the heat from the Java Sun.

We will know that once, yeah? With the papers on order and officer you come up there to sign you first get ready to take it up on what's the rush? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, rush Silly come for this deal in minutes in Australia. I pay you bonus if you are sure yeah, okay?

The covers off the hatches we got cargo coming aboard The papers were in order and even before I'd come back to the ship the cargo was streaming a boy As per the bills of lading, the boxes that were dropping into the holes were marked silicon.

And just about then, we had our second visitor. I heard him before I saw him. He was a seafaring man with looks. And place of his left leg was a wooden peg. It was a wooden peg.
