Well, I'll be the admiral's brother-in-law!!! That sword plumb buried itself right into the cannon! Now how could a thing like that happen? It just isn't natural! The blade should have glanced off, or else snapped clean in two! See if I can get it out now... Amazing! Not a nick in it! Positively uncanny! But I can sure use a potato-scraper like this! Maybe it'll bring me luck...
