My preview:
♥ "Got her, yes! But not a crippling blow. The pirate ship in turn goes about-and look!-she's hoisted fresh colours to the mast-head! The red pennant!... No quarter given!... A fight to the death, no prisoners taken! You understand? If we're beaten, then it's every man to Davy Jones's locker!"
