⛵ ⛵ ⛵ ⛵...(Tour of "High Island")...Continued...
[Last time...]
With one arm now completely free, she took a better hold on the knife and quickly ripped through the tether on her right arm!
Freedom at last! But none too soon as the sound of stern male voices approaching the tee-pee from the pathway outside snapped her head around!
"Here I thought I was in a safe-house!" She cursed under her breath as she quickly stood up, knife in hand!

[Seneca village…early morning…]
Warriors Big Bear and Running Fox sped down the narrow dirt path leading to the prisoner tee-pee. Quickly shoving open the door flap they ducked low and entered…
Big Bear shouted out in dismay!
[On the Silverton…within sight of the Seneca village…]
As the great ship coursed its way slowly around the final bend of the river approaching the Seneca village, a vast crowd of warriors began to gather on the eastern bank of the river. A murmuring roar of defiance arose from the crowd and by the hundreds they raised and shook their bows and fists in defiance!
On the bridge, Commanders Galligan and Kerrislravenhill and Warrant Officer Lupega stood along the portside rail eyeing the huge gathering just ahead with growing apprehension. At the ship’s wheel stood Junior Petty Officer Trumpman who held the wheel in a cold, sweaty grip. Standing in the center of the bridge, stood the Captain, arms folded and seemingly unaffected by the scene in any way…
“We must try to get Bleujay out of there quickly, the Senecas are approaching. I love this, it's like being in an action movie, I love it!”
Turning a disconcerting look towards him, Kerrisl whispered…
“Try not to love it too much mate- we may well be sailing into a cloud of flying arrows!”
“Yes Sir, it’s as you say…” He recanted, opening and closing his fingers in a nervous clench…”What did you send with that spyug anyway Sairrr?”
Kerrisl smiled slightly in mild satisfaction…”My Kershaw chib. It’s my EDC knife model 4035TIKVT, when I'm not carrying my Katanas, Ninjatu or Dadow.”
Lupega wrinkled his brow as he mentally deciphered the weaponry…
“Keptin, should we set a row of musketeers on the main deck? The warriors are gathering by the hundreds now…” Galligan asked with some concern.
“Nae mate, ‘att might jis’ trigger a panic amongst th’ Seneca. Steady as she goes!”
[In the prisoner tee-pee…]
Lieutenant Bleujay’s mind went blank as she suddenly stood face to face with the warrior Big Bear! He himself stood like a man frozen as well and his eyes opened wide. Bleujay with knife in hand, thought of the fighting techniques that Commander Kerrislravenhill taught her, a jumble of images all flashed through her mind at once!
‘Ye have trained us well…’ °°°°° She thought in rapid dictation to herself, ‘but there is no time!!’ °°°°°
