Assassin’s Adventure

Chapter 19: whaling

But all this has nothing to do with the Pearl, because on this day, it will be a strange voyage again, and the target is Port Royal.

Yesterday, Gordon was running around to track two target people, and Coolidge was not idle. It happened that the Pearl was missing sailors, so he had a busy day to recruit nine sailors and replenished the ship's sailors to twenty-eight people. .

It took a day to conduct a detailed investigation of the background of these sailors. Coolidge, who has experienced the mutiny incident, has strict requirements in this regard, has no criminal record, and is between eighteen and twenty-two years old. Family innocence, detailed address is preferred.

The new sailors looked curiously at Gordon who came out of the captain's room. They got on the ship yesterday, and they only saw the captain of this ship today. Of course, they also learned a lot from the sailors' talk.

A lucky boy who was rewarded for accidentally saving the original Captain Coolidge.

But there is also such a legendary story. Every young man who is new to the ship imagines that one day in the future, like Gordon, he will ascend to the sky in one step.

When Gordon came out of the cabin, he didn't realize that there were more people on his ship. It's only been a week since he got on the ship, and there are only a handful of people he knows. , Gunner... I don't know.

At this moment, he has begun to enjoy the fun of being a captain.

"Raise the sails! The sailors are ready to set sail. We have a lot of voyage today."

While talking, he walked towards the rudder, looking full of energy.

Last night's dream seemed to be a sign and an inspiration to Gordon. He didn't have much pursuit in the first place. He was just like most sailors, getting rich overnight, living a luxurious life, or enjoying adventure Stimulate.

Coolidge was a little embarrassed. New sailors usually greet the captain's speech. On the one hand, it is to let them know each other and improve their loyalty, and on the other hand, it is also for the captain to have a preliminary understanding, and it will be more convenient to do things in the future.

He walked to Gordon's side and whispered.

Gordon looked at the sailors who were standing on the deck below. Almost none of them knew each other, and it seemed that he should have gotten to know them.

"Welcome to the Pearl. Well, since we're all brothers here, we treat everyone equally on this ship. Is that chef there?"

In the middle of the crowd, a squat sailor raised his hand: "What's your order, Captain?"

"Everyone's meat must be cut into the same size for me, and I don't want anyone to be dissatisfied with this kind of thing."

The people below started to laugh, looking a little relaxed.

"But! There are rules on this boat. Everyone thinks about what they do, and they will pay the corresponding price for their wrongdoing. Theft, slander, gang fights, gambling with thirty whips, tied to the mast for three days, rebellion It is directly treated as a pirate, understand?"

As soon as these words came out, the sailors in the audience began to stop their laughter. The captain in front of him was a little dignified at this time.

Gordon was very satisfied with the performance below. There were no rules and no circles. Of course, at this time, he still had to give him a sweet date.

"Your trivial matters can be handled by Captain Mickey, and the financial expenditures can be handled by Coolidge. If all of you are in good order, then everyone's salary will be increased by one silver coin this month. Of course, if one commits a crime, it will be Gone."

Coolidge's eyes widened beside him, such a fluttering sentence would cost an extra 30 silver coins a month. How did you spend the money?

You must know that your sailor's salary is three silver coins a month, and the first mate, the captain and the cook should be paid a little more. That is, a month's salary is sent out to a hundred silver coins, and now this sentence is an extra thirty silver coins. Expenses, Coolidge is simply gnashing his teeth.

Some people in the audience started cheering. For them, an increase of one silver coin means a direct increase of 30% in wages. Even if many sailors do not know how to count, they can know how much one silver coin has increased.

"Long live the captain!"

Someone in the audience started to shout like this, Gordon nodded, full of pride, it feels really good to have money.

Kuric, who was originally angry, was also stunned. Gordon's methods brought everyone's loyalty and discipline, but it didn't seem to have spent too much. Once one person violated discipline, the money would be gone. , he has sailed for so many years and has not seen sailors who do nothing at all. These guys who can't stand loneliness will always start a gamble in a dark corner, and then forget to control their screams and be hung from the mast Whip up.

Besides, he is only a temporary first mate, but he will be leaving in a few days, so what does it have to do with him?

"The sailors all return to their posts, let's go!"

The ship lowered its full sail and began to sail out to sea, towards Port Royal.

This trip is to deal with the heads of those pirates, UU www.uukanshu.com and the pirates who have been thrown into the warehouse and only provide a little food every day to hang their lives, Cayenne is just a small port, the guards Not in charge of the pirate part, they had to go to Port Royal, a port where naval ships were stationed and a brigadier-general was said to be in charge.

Port Royal is located in the Gulf of Venezuela, about 720 nautical miles away from Cayenne. The Pearl is a small sailing yacht with an average speed of five knots. If the wind is more favorable, it may arrive in five days.

Coolidge continued to fatigue and bomb Gordon in the captain's room, allowing him to quickly become a captain. This kind of thing lasted until the third day's dusk.

"Captain, we found a hammerhead shark!"

Gordon looked at the sailor who hurried in, and nodded to show he understood.

The sailors were a little surprised. Was their captain not interested?

Then he turned to look for First Officer Coolidge again.

After a while, Coolidge rushed in again: "Gordon, hurry up, stop reading, you can make a fortune again."

Gordon looked at the nautical notes that he had only read today, less than ten pages, and could only bow his head to the evil forces. He sat here reading with no interest. It would be better to go and see what Coolidge said. Pen, is the original number also a part-time pirate?

Following Coolidge to the deck, he saw that a large number of sailors began to watch the fun, and the ship had already folded its sails and prepared the boat.

Looking around, I couldn't even see a ghost. The nearest island is still on the horizon. What is this for?

"Whaling!"

"Whaling?" Gordon looked at the Pearl, which was less than 30 meters from the beginning to the end. Where did he get the courage to hunt for whales? Besides, isn't it the hammerhead shark found?
