Synopsis

This is the jolly boat Puck, all that is left of the Queen Mab, the ship of the dread pyrate Booby. The Puck is sinking, her hull holed by a round-shot, and her stern is ankle-deep in water. The sea is all aglitter with the merciless Caribbean sun, while around the boat, a circle of black fins cleave the water...

Captain Booby stands between myself and his pile of treasure. The Captain's flintlock pistol is levelled at my chest. At this range, not even he could miss...

"Bail, burn an' blast yer bones, an' speedy-like!" cries Booby. "Or I'll blow out yer brains, so help me!"
