Pirate's Passage

Watch!

It's falling!

Ahhh!

We only found six.

Yeah well, what're gonna do?

He said there would be seven chests of treasure on board.

We have to find the seventh.

Here's the seventh.

Skuddle her then.

Skuddle her!

She's done!

Mercy. Please.

Get yourself aboard.

Your rum's here.

Come on, move, lads. Let's move!

Hurry it up. We'll all drown if you're not quick about it

porky!

I can't hold on for long

jump in the lot of you!

We stowed seven chests just as you said, sir.

We didn't need to give him all seven

we could have kept one chest for ourselves.

And have 'em turn the British Navy after us?

You want a rope 'round your neck do ya, Porky?

James Hargreaves?

Mother of God!

Quiet now, lad.

Captain Johnson!

I'd heard tell you were back The town's in a tizzy.

So say my men. What the devil was going on out at the point earlier?

His men took a ship's treasure and.

And drowned all aboard. I know

I need you to show me just where they were.

Will you do it? To night?

When I've finished me chores I'll be quick as I can!

The tide allows you in only twice a year.

Otherwise it's a surge in under there.

Struck the water when they were building the foundation of it.

That's how he knew about it. There.

Damn me

I saw a formation like that once south of Krakatoa.

Magical. Perfect

I'll have to be quick to catch her.

Catch her. Why? That's his ship.

Aye, it is, and he runs it rough shod over our earth for his profit

showing no concern for the plight of man.

He needs a comeuppance, James, him up there, him and his ilk.

There's no room for those pitiless gentlemen in this life, lad.

They have their law

I have mine.

He'll pay for what he takes What is, is.

Mark me what is, is!

Skedaddle now.

Thank you

God be with you.

Watch that horizon in an hour or two

I'll light up the sky for you.

An hour we'll be broadside of her.

Prepare the men, Mr. Syce.

Break loose the cannon We'll blanket her to port.

At the water line. Aim to sink her.

Sink her?

Sink her. We'll let them see what a how do you do with Davy Jones is like

aim to sink her.

Ready

ready!

Fire

fire!

You sank 'em, Sir. Without mercy.

You didn't hear their merciless talk, Mister Syce.

Them's Seamen that don't belong in the Brotherhood of Pirates.

They belong in Hell.

Them and their wretched master up there.

And I hope he saw it all.

We'll not be back in Grey Rocks then.

Heh...

There'd be few who'd welcome us

South, south west

south, south west!

Will this voyage of yours ever end, sir?

I signed on for centuries, Mr. Syce.

It's my god given task.

Consider yourself lucky it's not yours.

You're fond of that port, Mr. Syce.

Aye, Captain, that I am.

As am I, Mr. Syce. As am I.

And it'll be a work of great passion when its time for me comes to pass

but it's not calling me now.

Not yet. In a century or two, m'thinks.

When the wind with the name of Grey Rocks' on it brings me in there.

Bye Mom.

Bye Meg.

Caw! Caw!

Morning Jim.

Good morning, Mr. Freelove!

Mornin' Jim.

Hi, uncle Robin.

You're late for school.

First bell hasn't gone yet.

You going up home for breakfast?

Cup of coffee, maybe.

Mother's made pancakes.

A milkshake for breakfast?

It's supper, just finished my shift.

Now you're late.

See ya.

This month, she won't make it.

Can't make it Doesn't have the wherewithal.

Then it'll be ours.

You're just going to pour money into it.

Then it'll pour money into me.

My father doesn't think so.

Your father's a Presbyterian minister.

The most he knows about money is from a collection plate.

That's going to be a Resort Hotel, Mona

I'm going to turn this town in to a paradise.

Everybody's going to come here I'll make a killing!

Where's the dog?

He follows Todd to school.

Two topics, kids One.

Nova Scotia and Confederation.

Why do some Nova Scotian flags fly at half mast on Dominion Day July First?

Why did the nova Scotian Assembly in 1868

- vote to withdraw from Confederation. - Stop it.

And why has it never been rescinded?

Or two Pirates in Nova Scotia Scourge or Saviors?

I want a report on one of these two topics in two weeks.

Five pages

no!

No, Master Hawkins? Really? No? You won't do the assignment?

Is it because you've run out of ink?

Clean it up.

May I help Jim clean his desk up?

Yes, indeed you may

Todd?

Yes, sir?

You may clean up the floor.

He's determined to take this place away from me

Roy Moehner's a determined man.

He's angling to get the whole town and from what I hear

he might just get it if he plays his cards right

Meg?

Any coffee left?

On the counter

I'll get it.

Did I say something to offend her?

Heavens, no.

It's because it's the morning and the girl's spent all night dreaming

she's gadding about in Dublin or Paris

or someplace fancy and she can't seem to manage

to get herself back to Grey Rocks till around noon.

Tell her next time she goes on a trip over there

to take a lesson on how to make coffee. This is awful

Robin Hawkins!

Saw Jim. He seems cheerier

not really. Seven years now Bill's gone

and he suffers the loss of him

like it was the day they told us.

For Bill's sake

we can't let roy moehner have this place.

Can't...

Why did you go and get yourself killed, Bill Hawkins?

What's this poor woman to do without you?

What in God's name am I going to do?

I didn't know Nova Scotia wanted to withdraw from Canada.

That's really dumb What'd they think we'd do?

My grandmother says we're a shrimp on a plate of shrimps

but we think we're a lobster.

My dad was Canadian Navy.

He got himself killed for Canada not for Nova Scotia.

You're going to write your essay on separation?

Yes. Sure. Better than on pirates.

Pirates come from the sea.

Them and the sea is what I'm writing about.

You got the Howard Pyle book from the library?

He did the drawings for Robin Hood

I know. I gotta go do my chores.

See you later, alligator.

In a while, crocodile.

Good dog, Grendel. Sic him!

Oh no!

AHH!

Jim!

Mrs. Oickle, let me stay a couple of minutes, please?

The Moehner's dog is trying to kill me.

Grendel?

Grendel. Good dog.

Go home. You hear me? Home now.

That dog wouldn't hurt you.

Yes, he would. Todd Moehner's trained him to attack me.

Don't be silly Todd's just upset because he failed last year.

You go home now, sweetie.

Say hi to your mum Tell her you need new shoes.

What's that all over them?

Todd spilled ink on them.

Ink?

Yeah.

Mom?

Mrs. Oickle says to say hi.

She said to tell you I need a new pair of shoes.
