Clue/Question: Carrying all the treasure caused the pirate to get . . .
Answer: CHEST PAINS
Henry Morgan was a privateer (and pirate) who later retired to become Lieutenant Governor of Jamaica. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
(Aarrrr, ye mateys! The Cap’n needs to ease off on the grog and rich foods, and start taking fish oil supplements and a daily aspirin! He should probably log in a few dozen laps around the deck daily, too. Definitely NOT the Errol Flynn/Burt Lancaster/Johnny Depp type pirate that we love to romance over. No, this guy is one sloppy mess of a pirate. I shouldn’t talk though. I could stand to lose twenty to thirty pounds myself.
No new clue words, today. The jumbling of them was pretty good. I really liked “ensign”. The answer letter layout was fantastic, today! Of course, the Clue/Question was very leading, so the answer letter layout was all for naught. Great cartoon! Very reminiscent of The Pirates of the Caribbean. I especially liked the new twist on the sinking sailboat, that we see in most jumbles near a large body of water. Overall? A nice job, fellows. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

Cute puzzle! But ensign had me pondering, and faith and sprung tried to be hard, but when I circled them, they popped!
