[Last time...]
“I'm awake, can't have enough of my favorite coffee…” Commander Kerrislravenhill jested as she too eyed the angry crowd.
“Ye may need that coffee mate!” Commander Galligan replied absently as he watched carefully for any sign of attack from the Seneca.
“I completely agree with you…..” Warrant Officer Lupega said as he swallowed hard and watched the Indians running along the shore.

[In the forest…near the outskirts of the Seneca village…]
Lieutenant Bluejay ran a desperate path out of the clearing of the western edge of the village and into the dense cedar forest growing along the river Niagara! Her heart pounded and her breath was labored but she knew she had not a moment to lose!
‘I’ve….I’ve got to make it….got to make it to the river!’ °°°°° Her mind raced.
Not more than forty feet behind her, she could hear the yelling of Big bear and Running Fox as they called out the alarm and ran after her in hot pursuit!
Fifty feet, forty, thirty…finally there was a glimpse of the fast-flowing current of the river! Bleujay ran like a woman gone mad! She ran for her life and yet she could tell by the war hoops and yells that the warriors were gaining on her! Still, she ran on and as the thorns and briar patches tore at her skin she raced on undeterred!
”Hiya Bushneee!” [There she is! – Translated] Big bear yelled out as he ran ever faster to catch her before she could reach the river.
But fate was on Bleujay’s side as finally, from a small ledge overlooking the river she dove head-first through the cedars brush and hoped to God she would land in water and not rocks!
[On the Silverton…main deck...]
“Hahaa, it's been tay long, whew! Turning this capstan is harder than I remember!” Able Seaman Tamaralovelace said with a laugh as she helped Able Seamen Pocketechange and Kamilla19 finish lowering the anchor.
“You’ve lost a little ‘mojo’ on your shore leave mate! Haha!” Pocketechange responded.
As the anchor found mud beneath the river Niagara below, the mighty Frigate Silverton jerked and lurched to starboard before straightening itself on the heavy chain. It was then that everyone heard the deep voice of the Captain ring-out…
