(Tour of "High Island")...Cont...
[Last time...]
Suddenly, if by luck or by understanding or perhaps divine intervention, the big bird jumped up onto her left shoulder and walked over directly towards her face!
“A little more Groober! A little more!” Bleujay coaxed ever so softly.

[On the Silverton…early morning…the galley…]
☕🍩🍽️🍳🥓🥐🥣
“Me Uncle Angus is proud of me making a name for myself in the Scottish navy." Commander Kerrislravenhill reminisced as she broke off a piece of her plain and dunked it in her coffee, "Angus served on a fine heavy cavalry battalion known as the Glory 'Greys'. While th' McRavenhill's men loyally served th' UK and th' Commonwealth fer over five generations He dinnae understand why his wee niece would choose tae serve in the navy!”
“It’s in your blood Kerrisl, no way around it!” Commander Galligan replied with a grin, “I can’t see you land-bound on the back of a horse- haha!”
“Aye, probably not.”
Sitting next to Galligan, Warrant Officer Lupega chimed in with his usual admiration, “I like to say this: being an orphan isn't pleasant. If you were my father, I'd invite you out to eat Sairrr!”
“Well that would have to wait, unless your fond of corn and venison mate!”
“Haha, right! Well I'll be back this afternoon; I have a lot of work to do. I'd better stop dreaming and get to work!”
No sooner had Lupega finished his statement when the ships bell rang-out loudly from up-top….🔔
<<Clang! Clang! Clang!>>
“That’ll be the Keptin!” Galligan said quickly, pushing himself away from the table, “He’ll be wanting to raise anchor…”
“This early? It’s barely dawn?”
“Och aye, he’s not going to let the Seneca sleep-in as long as they have Lieutenant Bleujay in their possession!”
“Timbits and dark roast Sumatra coffee…I hate to leave it!” Kerrislravenhill groaned as she donned her hat and quickly followed Galligan out of the galley.
[Senaca village…prisoner tee-pee…]
As Groober edged closer along Bleujay’s shoulder, Bleujay tilted her head to the left and stretched to get a bite on the small, tethered bundle about his neck. Instinctively the bird lurched back, cocked his head and stood motionless.
“Come on Groober! Give me chance! Just a little closer…”
Perhaps her melodic voice drew the bird or perhaps it was divine providence as he once again slowly walked up her shoulder towards her face.
“Pretty Groober, that’s it! Come closer….”
This time the bird didn’t flinch when she leaned over and finally got her teeth on the thin tether! But then Groober fluttered his wings and started to leap! In a moment, the tether snapped! Startled, the big bird jumped off and flew up into the peak of the tee-pee and disappeared through the smoke hole.
Holding the bundle in her teeth, Bleujay paused, thinking a moment, then quickly released it and let it fell on the ground beside her tied left hand!
“Blimey! I’ve got to get a finger on it!” 🖐🏼 She said desperately as she wrenched her left hand outward towards the bundle! 👜
