Ay, yes, room for coffee beans. We be needin’ somethin’ for those on board who canna stomach all this rum constantly, though it be lookin’ like I be the only one who canna toss back the stuff the whole day. We be needin’ it too, so that those with middle watches be not fallin’ asleep and crashin’ us into reefs before we get to Jamaica or Barbados or wherever it is we be headin’. Offer to be doin’ whatever jobs need doin’ still stands. Just give a shout. ---

Uh, Cap’n? I sees to port a square rigger, be that or an odd grouping of clouds. Whot says ye we does some pirating? Is the cannon balls stacked in their brass monkeys? Powder at the ready?

That would be a bad thing,and would seriously jeopardize our chances of getting any gold. If we need someone to fire at, I have a suggestion. What? I was going to suggest going ashore and finding a Will–what did you think I meant? ---

**Pilot tunabreath** , are ye plannin’ to wear the apple 'till yer drawers are clean? Nevermind, make for whatever it is ye see. **First Mate NoClue** , find out why our lookout’s not lookin’ out. **Kallessa** , me dear, if that ship what **Pilot tunabreath** found is the _Peark_, we may be finding a Will sooner than not. ---
