Walnut shook her head; she hadn't done much during the journey, but she was nearly paralyzed with exhaustion.

The ship now was almost nothing like it was at departure, with a hull above the waterline completely tattered and even below the waterline nailed shut with planks. Two masts were broken, and a large hole had been blasted into the stern by a cannonball, making people at the dock think it was a Ghost Ship!
