this occurred to me, as there is almost always a swallows and amazon question -- i don't recall the pipecleaners tho

also: i've been (correctly) corrected by alex on twitter re the topic

I can't remember what they raid from the pirate's boat at all. But also the phrasing of the question - 'what were the pipecleaners' - points to it, because at that point in the narrative they would have been taking something much more exciting. Pete was rereading S&A over wobs.
