A Rollicking Band of Pirates?

By the miracles of the new science of photography, we have been able to track down and record the faces of the famous Pirates of Penzance following a daring end-of-season raid on Mawnan Smith. Residents trembled in their seats as the Pirates sang their deadly songs and, with cat-like tread, stole their way into the village at night, spreading mayhem and frightening the General's daughters.
But evil was called to account when the members of the Local Constabulary, setting their unhappy lot aside and muttering tantantaras under their breath, bravely stood up to the vicious pirates. Mawnan Smith could once more sleep in peace.
