Captain Purdy speaks with Uggla, but you can not hear what is said. Captain Purdy begins yelling orders to the crew for everyone to watch for coral just below the water and to look for a break in the coral large enough for the ship to pass through. Sailors begin yelling and the ship makes, what seem to be endless, sharp turns tossing everyone about and finally find what Uggla had said was there, a path through the coral and on to a cove that will hide the ship from view of anyone outside the cove. It is a miracle that no one was lost to the water and whatever waits beneath the surface. The cove is calm and clear, the beach makes way to thick jungle.Captain Purdy approaches the group once the ship is anchored and inspections are complete.That was closer than I would have liked. The ship took some damage. I would like you to scout the island and find the village. You may take 5 sailors with you, but I will need the rest to stay with the ship and make repairs. You should gather your things and depart in the morning.</blockquote>
