A pirate, rowing back to Magentabeard's ship:

Ridiculous boots that idiot was wearing. No wonder he can't get out of a rowing boat without falling over. Ah well, it saved me having to push him. Good riddance. A great load has been lifted from me. And maybe now Magentabeard will lighten up too. He's got that lemon-boat Captain to play with... can't handle cards to save his life, that one, so we can have some sport with him.

I won't miss the bird though. Smells of fish, and we all had to double-up the deck swabbing duties.

At least we got our clothes back.
