Tempest Fitzgerald Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 With Armand's return, the Sugeon left the temporary lodgings to inspect the horses that he had returned with. With an educated touch, she ran her hands over the muscle and sinew of the Blue Roan. A careful eye gleening judgement of the proudly arched neck and occassional dance of hoof. "Magnifique, mon ami...You were always a good judge of equine flesh. I think this shall offer respectable presentation. Merci beaucoup!" Voices carrying over the water's surface disrupt her inspection and looking in the direction of the cove's mouth, notice is taken of the ship's now righted stance. Closer observation reveals several member's of the crew intent on some object blocked from her view by the Watch Dog's stern. A restlesness stirs inwardly with the inability to figure what is causing the apparent aggitaion on deck. With a sidelong glance to Armand... "Please attend to the refreshment of these noble beasts. Judging from the current stance of the ship, I shall need attend to the erand at hand before the turning of this day to the next..." A crease forms upon the delicate browline as she continues to look towards the sea beyond. ...Or lay these bones in an unworthy urn, Tombless, with no rememberance over them: Either our history shall with full mouth Speak freely of our acts, or else our grave, Like a Turkish mute, shall have a toungueless mouth, Not worshipped with a waxen epitaph...

William Brand Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Have the Master Gunner prepare to board and make ready for departure. I want these seamen aboard. (folds up his glass) Push forward our efforts to refresh the water barrels aboard and see that Mister Badger has my rigging checked before nightfall. Shrouds and stays to be checked and double checked. I'll not lose the masthead from lack of checking. Mister Hawks is to have what provisions he needs to finish all repairs and put a man next to him to fetch and carry food and drink. I'll not have the blacksmith stop his work. That could have been a frigate there. We'll be fortunate only the once, I should think. Â Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Doctor Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 :: orders the barge back to shore, and has the men set about getting her readied for regular service :: That was too close for comfort. Let me know when you're finished inspecting the hull, as I'll be checking her as well. I need all hands rowing, not bailing. Strip even marginal planking. I want her caulked within and without, and we'll stain her as time allows. :: heads quickly up the beach :: Mr. Lasseter! A moment of your time, sir. I'll doubtless need the services of the carpenter, and the barge is wormy in places, and her mast groans more than an ale-house trollop. And her sail spills more wind than it catches...
