The Master at Arms took sick and there were a few days respite from the madness. The men all relaxed a bit and morale took a slight upturn.
Unfortunately the Master at Arms, not a pleasant man on a good day, came back on duty with vengeance. Everything the men painted, cleaned or fixed while he was away must be done over. Several men are in the brig for raising an eyebrow or making the wrong noise in reaction to an order. I think the Master fears the Captain's madness as well, but a doubly-cleaned ship won't fix the larger problems at hand. Those problems are still being ignored, I fear.
