Leaves crunched as Jack Sparrow came up behind them. "how much farther?" Jack asked hopefully.
"How would I know? We don't even know if we went the right way."
"oh we went the right way." Jack said annoyed. wiping a spider web off his coat.
"What makes you so sure?" Marty asked.
"Does he really have to answer that mate?" Faffel said. Pointing at Mr. Gibbs, Who was now upside down in the air, with a rope around his ankles attaching him to a tree.
Jack and Marty stared at him dumfounded. "a little help?" Joshamee asked, waving his arms, attemting to reach the knot holing him to the branch.
Jack rummaged through his belongings and took out a knife, handing it to marty. "Cut him down"
Marty did as he was told. Mr. Gibbs hit the ground with a thump and scrambled over to a mound of stones that Jack was sitting on, drinking a bottle of rum.
"Where did you get that from?" he asked. Jack only looked at him.
"Look over here!"Faffel shouted. From where Gibbs had been tied up. Marty ran over to where he was crouching in the dirt and Faffel showed him a stone-like lever, that seemed to have controlled the trap.
"Watch out next time" Jack said expressionless, Putting the rum back into the sack."lets go."
"At least now we know that we're on the right track." Marty said, rushing ahead.
They continued walking until they reached a large cliff, overlooking a river, 100's of miles below.
"How will we cross?" Gibbs asked Jack, who was still very slowly coming up behind them.
"Lets go around." Jack suggested, when he finally reached them. Then Jack understood. They couldn't cross, the cliff went on for ages, no telling how long it was. And the 4 pirates had already searched their area of the jungle, with no luck.
"What's that?" Marty asked, Pointing at a light glisteningin the sun, all the way on the other side.
Jack took out his spyglass and stared at it for a moment.Then put it away and said "we need to get over there somehow."
"But how?"
"We can go back to the ship and get wood to build a bridge." Mr Gibbs said
"or maybe we can swim over there" Faffel added.
"It's too high to jump down to swim, with a fall like that, we'd be dead before we reached the bottom." Jack answered disaprovingly.
"Is the canyon wide enough to sail the Pearl through it?" Marty asked leaning over the side to look.
Suddenly Marty screeched, as he lost balance and fell of the edge of the cliff. Faffel grabbed his hand, Just as he fell. Almost sending them both down to the bottom of the canyon. But grabbed the ledge just in time, so that both of them were leaning off the side of the cliff. Faffel moaned in pain, Trying to lift Marty up over to edge and back to safety. "I can't do it." He said. "Your too heavy"
Mr. Gibb's finally realized what was happening and ran over and started to pull them up, But failed. The weight was far too large for him to handle and soon, He was sliding over the side, along with Faffel and Marty. He called for Jack Just as he went over the corner. But Jack already had a plan.
He sent a rope flying over the edge so Mr. Gibbs could grab it. All three pirates, Marty, dangling off the edge and struggling to hold on to Faffel's sweaty hands, Faffel, Who was in the middle, groaning in pain, trying not to let go, and Mr. Gibb's, who held the life of Faffel in one hand and the tangled rope in the other, all sat hanging over the edge of a cliff. All that was left was Jack Sparrow... He tugged on the one end of the rope until he had enough of it to tie around a nearby tree. After he did so, he ran over and started to pull them up, hoping that the tree could support the 3 men. Mr. Gibbs was finally safe and began to lift the other's onto hard ground...
Meanwhile, Back on the Black Pearl... Ragetti and pintel sat on the top deck, awaiting the other's return. Passing back and forth a bottle of rum that they found in Jacks Cabin, They began to think foolishly. "How long do you think they'll be?" The wooden eyed pirate asked.
"Who cares?" Pintel said. "I'm sick of this crew. They treat us like dirt."
"You really think so?" Ragetti responded "I thought they treated us rather nice."
Pintel rolled his eyes. Then he suddenly had an idea. "what do you say we have our own crew. Just me and you with no captain or anything. Just us, sailing the seven sea's."
Raggetti nodded. "But we don't have a ship."
Pintel Shouted "The pearl you idiot! We could steal it!"
Raggetti began to laugh. "We don't know how to sail."
"I do"
Raggeti gave him a rotten smile and they both began to Get the ship ready to make way.
