"Peril At Sea"

The Black Dove whilst trapped under the water
uses his amazing strength to break the chains
that bind his body, he then swims under the
ship and climbs up the rigging then climbing
on deck. He discards his mask and clothing
and assumes the role of John Norrington.

He looks for an opportunity to obtain dry
clothing. Finding a storage locker he puts on
a sailor's outfit.He then goes in search of
Bill Jenkins, he notices him inside of the
galley where he is working as a cook. He is
alone as Norrington goes in to talk to him.

On the main deck the pirate captain observes
two American frigates heading towards them.
He orders his men to open fire on the vessels,
the two ships fire back and prepare to board
'Raven'. The pirates are ready to do battle.
As 'Raven' picks up speed and is pulling away

from the slower frigates, the other ships keep
firing all cannons at the fleeing ship, while
whereas down below Norrington and Jenkins arm
themselves with the intention of stopping the
pirates somehow, they charge on deck with swords
in hands. Norrington manages to fight off most

of the men using his super strength and speed.
Jenkins holds with two loaded pistols in his
hand holding the pirates at bay, while Norrington
and the pirate Captain are fighting a duel to
the death with swords. While all this is going
on the ship, is hit twice by cannon fire and

the third blast hits the main mast at the bow
of the ship, causing it to fall were Norrington
and the captain are fighting. The other men
run for their lives as the huge mast collapses
with a loud thud.

Can these men survive the onslaught of the falling mast ?.....
Will Bill Jenkins be rescued by the opposing enemy sailors ?......
These questions and more will be answered
in Part 7 "Civil Unrest".
