As Norrington swam to the island, he had to abandon his shoes and stockings. When he arrived, the only clothing he was wearing was his breeches, his shirt, and his waistcoat. The things that happened on the island were very tedious and boring, so I won't recount all of them and waste page space.

About a couple of days on the island, he spotted another person coming to the island on a rowboat. What? How could anyone know I survived. Hmm, perhaps… He thought. As the rowboat drew closer, he recognized who it was: Lt. Thomas Gillette, his former second in command.

Once the boat was in earshot he yelled, "Thomas, what are you doing here?" The rowboat reached shore and Gillette dismounted. "Come, I need to tell you what's happened." They walked to the shade of the palm trees and Gillette began recounting the events.

"Well, you see, I was the Lt. supervising those two marines who threw your body overboard. I felt your pulse and realized you were alive. So the next chance I got, I took a boat and searched the area, and here I am." Gillette paused briefly, and continued, "Well, there is news spreading through the fleet that may interest you: Beckett and Jones are dead."

Norrington accepted this news as confirmation of his safety, but he was still shocked. "How did it happen?" he questioned Gillette. "Well, I was transferred off the Dutchman and put in command of the sloop Rosemary. You see, the pirates gathered a fleet, and Beckett brought in a fleet to fight them."

"The Dutchman and the Black Pearl were decided to determine the fate of the East India Company fleet and Pirate fleet through a parlay. The Pearl defeated the Dutchman, and Jones we killed, but Beckett wouldn't give up. He sailed the flagship Endeavour to fight the Pearl, but the Dutchman rose up and they both fired on it and sank it. Beckett went mad, and he failed to tell the men to fire."

"After the battle, when the EITC fleet broke up, I took my sloop and tried to find you. And, that's it," He finished lamely.

"So I assume the sloop is out in the bay?" Norrington asked.

"It is, and we're going right now," replied Gillette.

Authors Note: This is the end of the series. I'd add more, but I ran out of news Ideas for this particular version. I may add an updated version that plays of something I noticed in the film. ;-)
