In t' second book, The Pirates! In an Adventure with Whaling, t' pirates felt that their ship was in need o' some repair. So they go t' see Cutlass Liz, t' beautiful yet ferocious pirate boat yard owner, where, after much showin' off, t' Pirate Captain buys t' most expensive boat, The Lovely Emma.

Not havin' much gold t' Pirates be unable t' pay for t' boat, so they go on an adventure t' find 6,000 doubloons.

They go t' Las Vegas, and get mixed up with Ahab, who be huntin' Moby-Dick, t' pirate Captain goes mad, and t' Prize ham plays a major part in t' whole adventure.

What perfect nonsense.
