Freezing down here

God knows what brought us down here, chasing a difficult cuss of a couple of French frigates, the SS Neptune and the SS Nicholas des Bieres, and we can still see those frenchies dancing on the decks and cannons opposite, and then escaping after popping a cannonball through a Royal Navy mainsail. Auch aye me hearties tis shocking stuff, what these frenchies get up to on a sunday night down there in the southern seas, near the volcanoes of the southern islands around Australasia that Capt Cook discovered, and now, more action as we approach some french islands among the Micronesia Belt. What next? Galoots in galoshas? Maybe. Time will tell.
