I warned you. Just a few to start with:
"The little sloop had been blasted by cannon, fouling the rigging and smashing the tiller." [Cannon shot had fouled the rigging and smashed the tiller of the little sloop.]
"There was an odd group of men near the bow, wrestling and pushing each other like schoolboys..." [Near the bow men wrestled and pushed like rioting schoolboys...]
"All over the ship were men, lying in the strangest positions..." [Bodies lay in strange postures...]
"Miller was crouched over someone near the mast." Eliminate 'was.'
Thanks for your feedback. I have used quite a specific story telling voice in the book that may not run seamlessly through the Microosft Word passive voice checker, but is quite intentional.
Sheesh!
