Independent 9319 solution

There is a theme here, as this comes from a series of puzzles I produced that dealt with various people called Henderson. In this case it was Bobby Henderson, who founded the church of the FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER, with its NOODLE(y) APPENDAGE, and a scripture called the LOOSE CANON, administered by PIRATES. The fifteensquared blog on the puzzle is here.
