Peg Leg Johnny and Crew..

Johnny had some free time. He decided that a proper pirate needed a parrot.

Disguising himself as an old man, he boarded a transport headed for Manhattan. No one noticed him as he hobbled around the market, looking for what he called a "pet dealer." Upon finding one that sold parrots, he demanded their cockiest and noisiest parrot of all. The parrot was brought out, squawking the most obscene words and phrases Johnny had ever heard. "Arr, this be perfect," he thought. He held the bird up and proclaimed "His name be Mittens!" And quietly, he muttered "And soon, he be piratin' ships instead o'me.."

Content with his new playmate, Johnny boarded the Liner back to Fort Bush, where he would hire someone to take him back to Buffalo.
