Matty Bottles Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 Robert Newton can say more with his eyebrows than most movie and TV pirates can with all the "Arrghs" in Arruba. "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
