Tomcat Barrel & Stephen o' the Steeple

Characters from my friend's story, "The Society of Pirates," a well spun tale of buccaneers and Jesuits:

"Pirate captain Tomcat Barrel didn't expect to have a hold full of Jesuits instead of treasure, or that the pack of them would include Tomcat's comrade-turned-clergyman Diego. But Father Miguez, their leader, swears he knows of a massive trove of gold and silver somewhere in the Bahamas. Stephen o' the Steeple, the ship's navigator, wants to string up the Black Robes, so Tomcat has to work fast. Now the question is which is the greater threat: the scoundrel rival Black Lips Hetchy or the notorious pirate hunter Don Escrado, Squire Phosper's philosophical monkeys or his enticing daughter, Jesuit poison or Tomcat's own crew? Out of a sea between Patrick O'Brian and Jimmy Buffett sails the Shark's Laugh, daring shot, storm, sweethammer and science in search of the treasure of the mysterious blue-sand cay!"
