"The wind spoke, the sea hearkened, and the pink skies that started night had beckoned."
So, the captivating Eric Norris of the pirate ship, Kraken, reckoned the howling storm might soon subside by morning.
He and his treacherous, motley crew comprised of various nationalities had been pirating for several long months now. Misfits, every last one of them. They were patiently waiting for the next opportunity, to pirate and plunder another treasure laden vessel.
The fierce gale could tempt his more treacherous crewmates into seizing the ship by force and mercilessly claiming the plunder they had taken from other vessels. Including the enticing hoard of gold, silver, and other riches amassed. The constant allure of such loot posed an ever-present threat of mutiny on the high seas.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCW98gh9hkc
Blam! Blam,
Whoosh!163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jXGebBKkM
Blam!
Capt'n, Capt'n cried Radnor, we're being fired upon by some gunnery ships!
"Arr, come about to starboard and return fire," hollered, Captain Norris!
All hands hoy, yelled Radnor, especially you, ye landlubbers!
Radnor, who had Master gunner ranking aboard the vessel, barked orders for the pirates to aim their cannonballs at the ships.
The five men armed, their cannons and supply of ammunition, and also the powerful muskets.
"Five men are seriously hurt," cried Norris.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wrw9Bd6LF
"Argh, weigh anchor, hoist the yard and mizzen and get thee quick underway before we wind up in Davey Jones's locker!"
"G'yarrr, we've been struck twice, once alongside the bow and the gallery ship," howled Radnor!
Blimey!163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4POX3BhNJj
...Captain Norris was peering out, trying hard to make out the type of sailing vessels firing upon them.
Their ship was a fearsome two-hundred-ton, heavily rigged vessel, elegant and conserving energy for the gallant shores. He was staring hard, trying to make out what type of sailing vessels was firing upon them.
Norris bellowed out a prayer to the gods as their pirate vessel sailed on, riding the swiftly rising waves, only to be gained upon by the Queen's ships from En-gland.
My God!
It was the Adventure Galleys, manned by the notorious Captain Kidd and his scurvy dogs. Their ship was a fearsome two-hundred-ton, heavily rigged vessel, It would be death to any pirates caught in her wicked fury...
"Capt'n Norris, they're two of them. "She can go as good as she takes!"
Arr, we're being outmanned by the Queen's Gunners!
"Aye!" Hollared quartermaster pirate, Jonas Rattler...Yea, there is Blackbeard's ship and thar Queen's Gunners fire at his ship too.
"Then let us join the fray!" shouted Captain Norris, as he ordered his crew to steer towards the battle. "We'll show them who's the true king of the seas!"
The pirates hollared and loaded their cannons, ready to unleash their fury on the Queen's Gunners. They hoped that Blackbeard would notice their aid and reward them with some of his treasure.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xeGJzMwyL
But as they approached the scene, they saw a sight that made their blood run cold. Blackbeard's ship was engulfed in flames, and his flag was torn to shreds. The Queen's Gunners had shown no mercy, and had sunk the most feared pirate of all time.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrTrZMMCYz
"By the devil's beard, they've done it!" gasped the pirate captain Norris. As he watched the wreckage sink into the depths. "They've killed Blackbeard!"163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9KdcyCTTH
"Then we'll avenge him!" roared Norris, as he raised his sword. "Charge, me hearties, charge!"163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjnCle5pOh
The pirates followed their captain's lead, and attacked the Queen's Gunners with all their might. They fought bravely, but they were outnumbered and outgunned. 163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXro3vwAVa
"Capt'n Norris, they're too many of them, Cap'n!" cried the frighten quartermaster. As he saw the Queen's Gunners surround them. "We're doomed!"163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiblyRNIKBj
"Never surrender, yelled Norris, as he swung his sword. "We'll die like pirates, with honor and glory!"163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4ZSJDGiYs
They fought to the last breath, but they were no match for the vicious Queen's Gunners. They were shot down, and their bodies were thrown into the sea.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyHddvpC5B
The Queen's Gunners celebrated their victory, and claimed the pirates' ship and loot. They had defeated Blackbeard and his allies, and had made history.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjyKeFcbrp
