Legend Of The Black Dove (Part 5)

"Adventures On The High Seas"

The quicksand has claimed one victim, the fleeing horse and the real

Black Dove is trapped underneath the quicksand. He manages to grab the

horses tail and climb on the side of the horse and with brute strength

jumps clear of the sand onto firm ground, he also manages to rescue

the imposter from the sand, he was unconscious but still alive. He

changes back as John Norrington and then wakens up the Dove imposter,

his gun was dry and would still work so he tells the imposter to move.

At that moment the King's guards are approaching them, they notice

the Black dove and arrest him. Norrington tells them about the outlaw

gang up the road. They decide to investigate, giving Norrington a ride

back on horseback. they reach the Golden Coach and the other outlaws

scuttle off, but are soon captured by the soldiers. They decide to unmask

the Black Dove, but to their surprise, they find Jack Wild behind the

mask. Norrington can hardly believe what he sees, as Jack Wild has died

in the mine having being impaled on a pinnacle, Wild tells him he was

his twin brother Luke, and pledges to kill the Black Dove the moment he

finds him. The soldiers cart him off with the other prisoners, and

Norrington is taken back to Norrington Manor. When he arrives he

is greeted by his friend and butler Bill Jenkins, who said he has booked a

passage for them both on a ship heading for South America. He was asked

for assistance in a landowner's dispute in Monteray (California). They board

the ship and moments later she leaves for California. The ship is seaborne for

two days when they are attacked by a pirate ship. Norrington and Jenkins

are in their cabin when the ship is boarded by pirates. The pirates capture

all crew members and approached the cabin were Norringtoan and Jenkins

are standing. Moments later as they entered the cabin, they see one man

standing there with a sword in one hand and a gun in the other. It is the

Black Dove. The pirates attack him as he shoots one pirate and starts fighting

with the other. He escapes the cabin and tries to find a hiding place but is

seized by three more pirates and taken on deck. The Captain of the pirates

decides to make him walk the plank. His hands are bound and he is been

weighted down with heavy chains, then forced to walk the plank, He is

pushed into the ocean and as he goes down quickly to the bottom, the

pirates laugh at his ill fortune.......Has the Black Dove drowned in the sea?

What will become of Bill Jenkins trapped alone on the ship ?
