“Silver Adventures”- Captain Joshua Slane –02OC19 - ‘Could the Shetani be spreading further about the ship?!!"

⛵ ⛵ ⛵ ⛵...(Toor ay ???)...

[Last time...]

“Oh, th' Shetani will git pure bored wi' heem bobbin' an' rollin' in th' middle of th' brine an' probably will leave heem fur th' first shark 'att comes by!”
“It woulds have bin better fur heem ta have stood before th' Royal Navy coort.” The Captain surmised as he turned to Andofzara, “Get him over th’ rail an’ into the sea!”
“Aye Sairrr!”

. . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . .

[On the main deck…]

Nearly half the crew crowded the starboard rail to watch the demon-stricken barrel raft hit the water! Nearly submerging for a second, it burst back up to the surface and righted itself all the while the body of the Caporal Chief rose to a sitting position and twisted and turned in its bindings!

It was a relief that the entire crew felt as the Silverton quickly left the raft in its wake, some ten miles south of Cape Town, South Africa. The Captain and Commander Galligan stood calmly on the bridge, looking aft as the “demon raft” slowly faded into the sunset.

On the main deck, Lieutenant Andofzara, Acting Lieutenant Ickied and Warrant Officer Errislravenhill stood together watching and conversing…

“Is nae one else gonnae suggest anither toor location?” Ickied said as he took a bite out of a plain.

“A mighty braw crew of th' Silverton, but they lack a bit in follow-up Sairrr..." Errislravenhill replied absently.
“Well, what aboot ye Errisl? Do ye have a new toor preference? Surely yoo've got some idea?" Ickied pressed.
“Ahh tip me Tricorn 'att th’ Keptin fer a fine adventure…” She said, sidestepping the question completely.

Ickied then turned to Andofzara…
“An’ ye Sairrr? No toor preference attal?”
“Sometimes ye have ta go back ta move forward!” He replied vaguely.

“What th' fock is goin’ oan here?!” Ickied thought to himself as he turned and gazed north at the African coast, “It's as if th' whole crew is detached...elusive an' mind-numb! Didnae th' Keptin ask fur new toor suggestions months ago? Could's it be 'att th' Shetani was spreadin further aboot th' ship?!"

Ickied shook his head to clear the confusion and then walked away.

"Th' man's got a point! Withoot a new toor destination, th' Silverton will be dry-docked in Elgol accordin' ta Royal Navy regulations! Is it insolence or ignorance that's tongue-tied mah crew?! Ahh asked fur fife new toor suggestions an' by Gawd Ahh will git them! Ur these men will be sent home ta farm th' fields an' mend fishin' nets!!" 🤔 -Keptin
