⛵ ⛵ ⛵ ⛵...(Tour of "High Island")...Continued...
[Last time...]
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!

[Senaca village…prisoner tee-pee…]
The small bundle fell to the ground just inches away from Lieutenant Bleujay’s left hand! She craned her wrist to grasp it and could even feel the rawhide tether, but every time she tried to catch it, it seemed to slip just out of reach. Finally, in a painful stretch, she pushed with all her might against her bindings and though they cut into her wrist, she finally got a fingerhold on the bundle tether!
"Lovely!" She whispered to herself...

[On the Silverton…one quarter mile north of the Seneca Village…]
“Lfg! !pimp” Junior Petty Officer Trumpman mumbled as he jogged up the galley stairs behind Commanders Galligan and Kerrislravenhill.
On the main deck the captain stood at the ship’s bell with arms crossed…
“Is thaur an issue wi' gittin' oot o' yer bunks?!” The Captain barked as the crew gathered about him.
“Sorry Sairrr, I was having the same issues, but I had a little work around until it was cleared up. Smooth sailing again, I hope!” Kerrislravenhill answered with a nervous salute.
The Captain raised an eyebrow but then dismissed the comment...
“Hoist anchor and let out the forward jibs, let’s give the Seneca a morning wake-up call!”
"Aye Sairrr!"
As Galligan called out the orders the main deck quickly swelled with sailors and the big ship lurched as the wind filled the two forward jibs!
However…the crew of the mighty Frigate Silverton were not the only early risers on the river Niagara. Two forward Seneca scout warriors watched as the great ship began to push up-river slowly. In an instant they were gone, quickly making their way back to their village with the news.
