„It doesn't?" Elizabeth wrinkled her forehead, and took the compass in her hand to examine it. „It worked yesterday when we got it for you."
Jack looked over her shoulder, and they both watched the red needle spin and then stop.
„It works fine, sailor," Jack said with a smile, and Elizabeth smiled too, returning the compass to Blaxton, who looked at it sceptically before opening it.
„No, it doesn't," he insisted, shaking his head in disappointment, and giving the compass back to them. Jack and Elizabeth looked between him and the compass in puzzlement. „It points North!" explained Blaxton in an unhappy voice.
„Oh," acknowledged Jack and Elizabeth in unison, finally understanding what the problem was.
„Could you fix it?" asked Blaxton, looking at them hopefully.
„Well..." started Jack, after a moment of uncomfortable silence.
„Thank you!" Blaxton said happily, and ran out of the cabin, leaving Jack and Elizabeth with very troubled looks on their faces.
