George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
He was pretty handy at repairs, though, considering all the experience he had with shipwrecks and battle damage.
George would go around the ship, fixing beams and boards, hammering nails, and plugging leaks.
Then he’d sew up the holes in the sails, and replace any frayed ropes in the rigging.
When George was done, he’d go back into the diving bell and call the captain to be raised to the surface.
“Okay, everything’s fixed,” said George. “Now how are we going to bring it back up to the surface?”
