A continuation of my pirate story.
Previous.
"Put your backs to it, lads! We may just escape the land-lubbers yet!"
What captain Mark said was true, the pirates' rowboat was drawing close to the shoreline. And none too soon, for a Spanish galleon surged along the coast, trying desperately to get in firing position! As the pirates sprang ashore, Preston the first mate roared
"Avast, ye swabs! Lively, now, to the jungle, before they can-" (KA-BOOOM)
The bow of the pirates' rowboat shot upwards as the stern splintered from the cannonball's impact.
A few of the crew were launched onto the beach when the rowboat was so unceremoniously landed.
The pirates, with many oaths, scrambled into the greenery as more cannon shot crashed through the palms.
Captain Mark stumbled through the underbrush. "Arrr! The Spaniards will pay mightily for this brandish insult! By the powers, them scalawags will learn that crossing Mark of Tortuga means death!!"
..............
To be continued. Arrr..
More to come!
Thanks for viewing and have a great day!
