CHAPTER 1

It was a cold night when I was on watch and before I knew it I heard three bells, I thought to myself I finally can get to sleep. As I go down to my courters I find my self extremely for having two watches in a row. Eventually I fell asleep, but I was awakened by the fourth bell and soon enough I went to sleep again.

HANDS TO COURTS!! HANDS TO COURTERS!! ENEMY SHIP TO LARBOARD!! I walk briskly to my courters on the gun deck where I lead my men.

It was a cold damp foggy night and we find that we where moving in slow motion as we all wait in anticipation for the engagement. Soon enough our canon the "Dread Knot" was ready for action and our powder monkey has given us enough powder for two engagements.

As we approach the enemy runs up the colors forcing them to fire there bow chasers. Of course we are the british navy and we shall prevail, the command is given to fire out bow chaser, the long nines. CRACK…..direct hit, the enemy ship has been dismasted.
