    Former employee here.

    God damn them all, I was told we’d sail the seas for American gold, we’d fire no guns, shed no tears.

    Now I’m a broken man on a Halifax pier. Also, management will call you to work unpaid overtime. Stay away from this place!

        No, seriously.

        I did a tour on that sickening sight of a sloop.

        Once we sighted a Yankee lay low down with gold. She was broad and fat and loose in the stays, but to catch her took the Antelope two whole days. Then two cables away we shot our 4 pounders which did f all except make an awful din. The Yankee returned with one fat ball and stove us in!

        Wish I’d stayed in Sherbrooke.
