The ghost Russian cruise ship drifting off

The ghost Russian cruise ship drifting off the coast of County Mayo lurched in the Atlantic swell. Its crew of cannibal rats scurried aft to survey the rocky shore. "Land ahoy, Cap

'n Mickey!" Goofy said, holding a spyglass to his eye and clutching his crooked pirate cap to his head. "Excellent!" Captain Mickey Mouse said, brandishing his cutlass. "We'll have

the wenche's whipped and then sent to my Cabin." Captain Mickey lit his pipe and dared Goofy to say something. If he did, Mickey would keel-haul that idiot in a second.

Goofy moped over to the women. "Sorry, ladies, but I'm only following Capt. Mickey's orders." He tried to tie them to the mizzenmast so he could flog them, but they fought like

they knew better what position to take when getting a proper flogging. "Yeah, we'll see how that works out for you", said Goofy when he let them tie themselves up for the flogging.

Goofy was starting to think that these fine ladies were anything but fine ladies. This flogging might boost the ships morale. He called for the Boatswain & a crew of 3 to "help" at

this now, all hands on deck, flogging. Pirate ships run by Pirate Code. The captain had already claimed the 3 woman but had added the flogging. In Pirate Code that meant he owed th

-e three women an extra dubloon apiece. The pirate captain claimed that he hadn't known that the flogging would have been extra. "Gyp us, willya?" they shouted, and ran him through

The whole test for qualifications. The pirates passed with flying colours and some flew higher than others. Some had huge wings and others did not. The pirate captain measured

his steps as he sized them up and hired only the non-flying pirates. He was afraid of mutiny and figured any pirate who could fly was unlikely to fear the gangplank.
