⛵ ⛵ ⛵ ⛵...(Tour of "High Island")...Continued...
[Last time...]
“The Keptin definitely has something on his mind!” Cockpit Officer Lupega said as he tied off the running line for the fore topgallant sail.
“Aye Sairrr, he must. But the Commanders are both tight-lipped! I couldn’t get a peep out of either of them!” Petty Officer Daveks replied as he stood at the starboard rail and watched the forest trees on the bank slowly slip by.
“I think Keptin has more than just trade in mind. I hear we will drop anchor tonight within sight of the Seneca village!”
“Aye, and I’m not sure I will sleep a wink!” Daveks said half-jokingly.

[On the Silverton…river Niagara…]
As the day wore on the main deck was suddenly disrupted by commotion along the starboard rail…
“Hey! Hey! My home!” Came a rare, loud shout from Omar, “My home! Please! My home!”
Immediately Lieutenant Bleujay and Standing Officer Bitcoinman ran to join him at the rail. There, not a hundred yards ahead lie the small cottage that sat close to the river’s edge on the western bank!
“Finally my chance!” Bitcoinman exclaimed with excitement, “Lupega Sairrr!”
Frome the bridge, Cockpit Officer Lupega called back, “What is it mate?!”
“A cottage Sairrr! Just ahead on the west shore!”
It didn’t take but a moment for Lupega to jump down the bridge stairs and race to the starboard rail! Gazing out to the northwest, he confirmed what the others were seeing…
”Omar, I wish you a happy start to the week, Haha! That is indeed your cottage! I remember it well!”
”My Home, my home!” Omar continued to call out, ”Please!”
Immediately Bleujay went into action, “Commander Galligan Sairrr?! Permission to lower the sails and drop anchor!”
“What’s that?!” Galligan called back in question.
“The cottage Sairrr! Just ahead! It’s Leyla and Omar’s home, Lupega has confirmed it!”
“Cats tails!” Galligan said to himself, “Cockpit Mate Kevmcc- take charge of the forecastle and lower our sail clootie at once!"
"Aye Sairrr!"
"Able Seaman Calatorulmiop, gather some men on the capstan and lower the anchor!”
"Aye, aye Sairrr!"
As the main deck came alive with activity, Bleujay sent Able Seaman Gifu below to fetch Leyla!
“Gifu, go bring up the Lass before Omar jumps the rail!
”Aye, aye Sairrr!”
Galligan now turned to Trumpman on the big ship’s wheel, “Bring her thirty degrees to starboard Warrant Officer, I don’t want our rudder to get tangled in the anchor line!”
“Aye Sairrr!”
With strong arms Trumpman spun the big wheel and the stern of the Silverton slowly drifted to the east momentarily until the river current snapped the anchor chain taught, nearly knocking everyone on the bridge to the deck!
