In defiance of the storm, that kept them anchored for so long, he swore an oath to forfeit right and wring.
Irreverent he cussed loudly: "I will round the cape,
even if I have to sail until doomsday!"
Their petrified facial expressions could tell: their master was like a devil on this floating piece of [bad word] 
There and then he gave the signal of departure.
"Make sail and weigh the hook!"

And so a man dies, and a ghost resurrects.
