The Chesapeake: Legends, Yarns & Barnacles

0/5 ( ratings)

From LONG GONE STURGEON by Cap'n Larry Jarboe: ...Capt. John Smith eventually returned to England without fulfilling his promise to Pocahontas. She settled down and married an English settler named John Rolfe but she never stopped carrying both a torch and grudge for Brave Long Gone. From her deathbed on a ship in England on the River Thames, her last words delivered a curse that the denizens of the deep would seek out and destroy Brave Long Gone and all his descendants.
"Now Ralph, that's a great story." I said as we quickly dodged again to avoid another volley of leaping garfish aimed directly at our heads. "But I'm not buying this Indian curse mojo mumbo jumbo. The cooler is full. We're tied up to the dock. Why haven't we used a single one of those big expensive shrimp that I bought?"
Ralph reached in the cooler, plucked out the cold plastic bag full of fresh choice shrimp and said, "Larry, you've got a whole mess of little fish to spend the rest of the night filleting. This big bag of shrimp is for my dinner."
Lesson learned.
