Drowning the barstewards is even cheaper than a rope over the yardarm.

What I find difficult to understand is why the Germans let the lot they captured go...

Getting much too soft, these lilly livered westerners.

Is that those pirates accidently keel-hauling themselves and drowning?

Didn't we do that the other day?

I sense that the sympathy is a bit hard to generate for the pirates who feared being shot at by other pirates as they approached land ....

They hadn't really thought it through, they needed a helicopter and an explosive with a remote detonator. Bloody amateurs.

I’m surprised they lasted long enough to drown, I thought a gatling gun would be waiting for the moment they hit the water.
