Durin' th' nightfall, th' aggressors prowled through th' ship, searchin' fer their next victim. They approached one 'o th' several bunks 'n upon seein' th' scurvy pirate thar sleepin' peacefully, they quickly decided 'tis would be th' chosen victim.
"He looks easy enough to murder," said one aggressor.
"'An I doubt anyone gunna expect him to be th' next to be off," said another.

'An so without further comment, they quickly gagged their victim 'n snatched him by th' wrists. Th' scurvy pirate struggled 'n cried out as th' mutineers dragged him up to th' deck, but once again no one could hear his muffled pleas fer help. When they finished, th' aggressors were quite satisfied. They stood admirin' their great work before runnin' off, snickerin'.

Th' followin' mornin', th' crew returned to th' top deck to discover Gangrenous Inziladun Jones at his usual post. He lay flopped over th' ship's steerin' wheel, his chest impaled by one 'o its spokes.
"Well, that be not a pretty sight at all," said Lommy th' Infected.
"Now how we ever supposed to navigate wit' Inziladun Jones in th' way?" wondered Almost-Blind Nerwen.
Th' crew teamed together to pry Inziladun from th' wheel, but wit' wee luck. He was indefinitely stuck.
"Don't worry 'bout it," th' dead pilot told th' others. "I may be impaled by me own wheel, but that dont mean I ain't still steer." He demonstrated fer th' crew.
"Eh, I suppose that gunna do," said Shark Tooth Shasta. "Wit' our diminishin' crew, we must take what we can get, 'n right now that be corpses."

So even as a ghost, Inziladun Jones remained th' pilot 'o th' Grey Gaurhoth, though from 'tis point ahead, th' ship sailed in a zigzag direction.
