Save the Crew!

What do you think I did when my shipmates were in trouble?

I rubbed the coin and came home.

Only joking!

No one had seen me so I went below, waded through the water that was gushing in and plugged the hole in the hull with a rum barrel. But what could I do next?I couldn't fight Blackheart’s crew single-handed. I had to take them by surprise. Did I . . .

A)      Dress up as a ghost and scare the enemy overboard?

B)       Fire a flaming torch at the Grinning Skull so the blackguards had to go back to put the fire out?

C)        Dance a hornpipe and made the villains laugh?

Enemy Ahoy!

Hope you’ve all had great swashbuckling holidays, shipmates!

Well you’ve had plenty of time to decide what you think happened next when I went back to the Sea Wolf. Was it A, B or C? The answer is . . . it was all three!!  Unbelievable but true. Blackheart and his crew had attacked in the middle of a storm and I could see that one of The Grinning Skull's cannonballs had blasted the mainmast to splinters. I heard Captain Blade shouting that another one had made a big hole in the hull of the Sea Wolf.  My friends were fighting a desperate fight all over the decks and up and down the rigging. Luckily no one saw me sneak onto the deck. What do 

you think I did?

A)               Rubbed my coin and escape to Backwater Bay?

B)                Swam for shore?

C) Found a way to save my friends - and their ship?
