Auch aye ahoy there

Well here we are approaching the coast of Albany upstate, hunting the SS Antoine Petit Pince-Nez, which has been hounding our traffic for sometime between Canada and Britain, and this lean-to frigate is captained by a very able seaman called Capt Antoine du Fromage, a stickler for discipline and routine, but who is keen on firing broadsides at the east coast of the American colonies. A troublesome chap this one. Educated far beyond his ability at the Naval College at La Rochelle, and an all-round payne. Like the sailors on the ill-fated Neptine he has a titanic opinion of himself. Terentius the poet would agree.
