Ach you just wouldn't know what to believe. There telling me that the skipper was getting rather excited, he supposedly shouted to the men on the bow to gegg it and they responded by pinning the meenister to the rails forward, forcefully trying to gag him. Then he supposedly shouted: 'Not that kind of gegg, the rope!' Next salute they allegedly had the poor soul tied to the forward stay of the mast.
'Not that kind of gegg you stupid bu**ers, a hecklam gegg, oh give me it here.' said the mariner.
It sounds like the skipper as well as the minister was needing the sweet tea or something stronger.
