"I being shot through the left cheek, the bullet striking away great part of my upper jaw, and several teeth which dropt down the deck where I fell... I was forced to write what I would say to prevent the loss of blood, and because of the pain I suffered by speaking."~ Woodes Rogers Crewe of the Archangel http://jcsterlingcptarchang.wix.com/creweofthearchangel# http://creweofthearchangel.wordpress.com/

Bloody Jack Madd, but he changed his name to Matthew Bottles when he joined the Archangel Crewe...

Mary Diamond Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 Well, Mr. Bottles ~ first, a drink, then perhaps another round with the swords? Hoping this day finds you well, and all those to come. Oooh, shiny!
Matty Bottles Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 Thank you all - it was a great birthday. My wife threw a surprise party and my sisters flew in from both coasts! "The time was when ships passing one another at sea backed their topsails and had a 'gam,' and on parting fired guns; but those good old days have gone. People have hardly time nowadays to speak even on the broad ocean, where news is news, and as for a salute of guns, they cannot afford the powder. There are no poetry-enshrined freighters on the sea now; it is a prosy life when we have no time to bid one another good morning." - Capt. Joshua Slocum
