Does this mean the Cap'n will turn the ship around and head back to find the Creature, or simply assume that the Creature will seek him out? Either way, I don't much fancy the First Mate's chances, to be honest. Yet another stunning installment.

I baint having this so I decided, after consulting with the Almighty, God fearing man that I be, that First Mate will be bait for the Creature. Tis a shame we have to come to this but what else does a man do when his crew member is agin him and making his own waves?
