This is in the book I am currently reading :-
The captain of a naval frigate raises the telescope to his eye and sees five pirate ships on the horizon, bearing down on them. "bring me my red shirt" he says to his lieutenant . " Your red shirt sir?" " Just do it man".
They engage the pirate ships and a fierce battle ensues. The captains in the thick of it, fighting hand-to-hand, running pirates through all over the place. And against terrible odds they capture all five of the pirate ships.. When it's over and everyone's celebrating, the lieutenant asks the captain why he sent for his red shirt. The captain says it's so if he was wounded the men wouldn't see the blood and wouldn't lose heart. Everyone cheers - " What a hero our captain is".
A few days later they're still patrolling the Channel when another shout comes down from the crow's nest. The captain raises his telescope to his eye and this time he sees twenty pirate ships on the horizon, bearing down on them fast. The captain lowers his glass and turns to his lieutenant .
" Lieutenant" he says. " Yes, Captain?"
