Hi,

Don't know most of the versions referred to, as I tend to sing a Dutch version. But I do recall having seen a version where the auger was a special tool for being able to make TWO holes at once. It wouldn't have to be very effective where the second hole was concerned: Just as long as it created a point of stability to keep the Turk from rotating around the cabin boy.

Sure, you can sink a ship: Give them your load of gold.
