An 'Aye Aye, Captain' comes from inside and soon another of the curious constructs arrives with a tray of glasses a large bottle and some sliced limes. This one is dressed as a seaman and seems to be made of ropes. A bench surrounds two-thirds of the upper deck and cusions are arrayed their. Seeing Gnurl's display of deck swabbing the Captain comments, "We only hire new crew on Tuesday and Thursday until noon. You can come then if you want a job, but I warn you I'm particular about the men I hire."

"Now what can I do for you noble Lady and Gentlemen?"
