He pressed it firmly against the wooden ship, where it stuck.  He then climbed back down into the water and began to move around to the other side.  Meanwhile, another of the thugs began making his own way up the sides, closer to aft.  The two who are not placing the flasks of explosive fire on the ship have moved closer to the docks where they can keep an eye on the Dock Watch, moving back and forth along the pier.  It looks like they have anchored themselves to buoys or are clinging to the network of wooden beams and posts that support the docks, tracking the guardsmen with hand-held cross-bows.You can't see away to approach the ship with out attracting the attention of the Watch.  You're pretty sure if you make a ruckus the sabotuers will set off their explosives immediately.  The only way to approach them without being spotted by them or by the Watch would be to swim up to them while they are distracted by their business.Unless you can come up with something clever, of course <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
