So there we was, 3 days we'd been tryin' ta overtake our latest prize. Speedy she was, and crafty, sendin' a long boat as decoy to each passing isle. We kept true to the chase, not fallin' fer diversions. On the fourth mornin' She turns broadside and raises the colors of the Savoy of Taranto. A short battle ensued, hampered by the lack of officers and trained crew on the part of our trophy. Seems the officers and senior crew had dispersed themselves AND their treasure on the passing islands. We knew not which ones and attempts to communicate wi' the Mediterranean mongrels left onboard was futile. The Captain offers up a bag 'o silver coin an threatens the lash if an interpeter isn't found. True to form, ol Shamus Mo'Beatty steps up an announces he had neighbors from that foreign land squattin' on his acres in Sligo. The Captain gives Shamus a doubtful hairy eyeball and asks if Shamus can get any useful information. Shamus sez, "Sure as the day is long", and walks over to the prisoners. He grabs the smallest one, shakes 'em violently an hollers,,, "HEY YUU, WATTZA YUU NAME"?
