Pessimistic

Gibbs took a pull at the bottle in his fist. "S'bad luck," he grumbled, "I told him, but did he listen?" He drank deep once more. "'Course not."

"Ye're a fool to stick by 'im," he told himself, for what felt like the thousandth time. He put a steadying hand to the gunwale as his legs buckled. He drank again; squinted shoreward.

He eyed the ravens circling the distant promontory with misgiving. Two days since Jack'd disappeared into that ill-omened place and the crew was growing restless with waiting.

"Naught of good'll come o' this," he muttered, "Mark my words."

Thanks! Now and again, Gibbs talks to me very clearly.
