It was not. I am finished now. The blob has grown weary of wearing his hat. He has taken it off now and shoved it in his mouth.
Tuesday, June the Fifteenth
Well, here ' s a strange turn of events! The sky pirates spent the rest of the day gathering up the people from lifeboats, rescuing any floating luggage, and delivering both to safety! They came back for our lifeboat a few hours later. But my astonishment does not end there, for they witnessed Cyprien rescue many of their numbers from being dragged into the sea. In gratitude, they offered him the position of pirate king and in retaliation for the whole dangerous mess with the entangled airships, they made their own king walk the plank!
To my surprise, Cyprien agreed to take the position! He says he grew up on the sea and thieving was in his nature. Maybe I cannot bring myself to wish him well, exactly, but I am quite sure that he will find no shortage of questionable headwear among the pirates to bring him many long and happy years.
I think the blob has joined their crew as well. I ' m not quite certain for it cannot speak yet. It did ride off with the pirates and made a most gracious bow to me, then waved goodbye most politely as it sailed into the air.
I think I have had quite enough of the sea, for I feel quite confused.
