Synopsis
Excerpt from Prince Rupert, the Buccaneer: His Adventures
There is one outlandish fellow who might be 8. Scot, or a Yorkshireman, or a Russian, or some thing like that. But no man could speak his lingo, and none would bid for him at the sale.
You may have him as a present if you care, and if perchance he can be found anywhere alive on the island. No, your Highness, this consignment is all English; drafted from foot, horse, and guns and a rarely sought-after lot they would have been, if whole. From accounts, they must have been all tried fighting men, and many had the advantage of being under your own distinguished command - Your Highness, I beseech you shirk not the cordial. This climate creates a pleasing thirst, which we ought to be thankful for. The jack stands at your elbow.
Prince Rupert looked out over the harbour, and the black ships, at the blue waters of the Carib sea beyond. My poor fellows, he said.
