[Brinniel]

Though they had lost Wilwa Scab to Davy Jones, th' crew was quite relieved to find no one else dead. Yet th' day ahead would prove difficult. Th' corpses were pilin' up, 'n some wondered if it'd be best to be rid 'o a ghost to lighten th' load. Yet it was later agreed that it'd be smarter to murder a livin' scallywag 'n give a go' to eliminate th' mutineers since th' death 'o a ghost might be tellin' them nothin'.

By th' end 'o th' day, it came down between Cowerin' Gwath Slasher 'n Legless Sally Dawkins. Th' crew agreed that both had be actin' as quite th' sneaky swabs. But th' opinion 'o which one should die was split below th' middle. In th' end, th' decision was left to Shark Tooth Shasta because after all, he was th' first matey.
"So what's it gunna be, Shark Tooth?" questioned Mac Sparrow.
"Hmmm...." Shasta thought long 'n harrrd. "Okay, Sally Dawkins it be then," he decided.
"No, no, murder Gwath!" protested Sally. "He's just a powder monkey, he be. I be ye carpenter. Ye can't murder me."
But no one would listen to Legless Sally's protests.

"How we murder her?" Shark Tooth Shasta asked his quartermaster.
"Hm, well I be not sure I be needin' to murder her just yet," said Lommy th' Infected. "How 'bout just a punishment fer now? Then we can finish her off later. 'Tis be awhile since I done a good old-fashioned keelhaulin'."
So Short Ruth Mith removed Sally's peglegs 'n tied her up to a rope real tight. Once she was thrown into th' ocean, Inziladun Jones 'n Eön Bloodbeard took turns heavin' th' rope as poor Sally Dawkins was dragged from one side under th' ship to th' other.
"Oh look, a shark," Ham-Hands Izzy observed, pointin' towards th' water. Th' crew watched as th' shark disappeared underneath th' ship.
Another minute went by before Almost-Blind Nerwen spoke up. "Maybe we let her up," she said. "After all, becomin' shark bait be quite a nasty way to be off fer anyone, 'n we don't even be knowin' whether she was guilty."
Th' rest 'o th' crew nodded in agreement 'n they pulled Sally up. But it was too late fer th' carpenter. Th' shark had already gotten to her, 'n now Legless Sally Dawkins was also Armless Sally Dawkins.
"Well at least we won't have to worry 'bout killin' her fer later," commented Quartermaster Lommy.

Th' now-dead Sally Dawkins reawakened, spewin' sea water everywhere. She took notice 'o her missin' arms 'n rolled her eyes.
"Great. Hearty thanks to ye lot," she said sarcastically. "Ye just couldn't murder me th' normal way like ye did fer Slippery McCaber, could ye?" She nudged her head in th' direction 'o th' hempen halter whar McCaber was still swin'in'.
"'O course they couldn't," stated Black Death Brinn from her pike. "If everyone were to dance th' hempen jig, then that'd make me narration dull. Now stop ye complainin'. At least ye still have a body."

Th' crew threw what was left 'o Sally Dawkins next to th' previous day's murder 'n retired fer th' nightfall.
"What happened to ye?" asked High-Pitched Annu, openin' one eye after a long day's nap.
"They took me arms, that's what happened," Limbless Sally replied bitterly. "Now thar be only half 'o me left."
"Yo-ho-ho, I be knowin' what ye mean," Annu mumbled 'n she fell back asleep.
