Why is the rum gone?

One: because it is a vile drink that turns even the most respectable men into complete scoundrels. Two: that signal is over a thousand feet high. The entire Royal Navy is out looking for me. Do you really think there is even the slightest chance they won't see it????

Because I used it all to make grog! Surely that's a better use of rum than drinking it straight!

it wasn’t me. rum destroys me
