Panel 1 [Brutality puts his back to the sea, leaning his elbows against the railing with his head lolling to the side. Barzillai, tense, continues to avoid looking at him.]
BRUTALITY:
Your wife is a pretty little piece.
Panel 2 [Pulled back shot of the quarterdeck. Brutality looks back at it. Men in the foreground are sharpening harpoons and fitting out the whaleboats again. They don’t seem to be paying Barzillai or Brutality any mind.]
BRUTALITY:
I’m surprised you brought her here, knowing what--heh-- volatile men this work attracts
Panel 3 [Brutality holds up a scrap of embroidered fabric with a grin. Barzillai finally looks over at him with a concerned frown.]
BRUTALITY:
I’ve found those little nothings she leaves in your lining—O GOD, look down with thy mercy upon those whom we love, now absent from us; give thine angels charge over them.
Panel 4 [Brutality laughs, tossing the strip of fabric into the sea]
BRUTALITY:
Hn hn hn, funny.
Panel 5 [close up of the embroidered slip waterlogging]

I was wondering if that’s what they were 😥 did he really get such an over-the-top death? Hung and eviscerated?

He wears the deaths of all the officers on Barzillai’s old ship, just for funsies, just to taunt him. So he’s got four deaths on him all at once like a nautical wound man.
