Chapter 17 di 34 · Part 4: The Stockade · 6 min per leggere: chapter
In Chapter 17, the doctor and his companions struggle against the tide while pirates prepare to fire the ship’s cannon at their overloaded boat. They survive its sinking near shore, but lose supplies and the use of three guns as enemies approach through the woods.
Cosa succede
- Five men and their supplies overload the boat, while the outgoing tide drives them away from their intended landing.
- The men spot pirates preparing the ship’s cannon and turn toward shore despite exposing the boat’s side.
- Trelawney fires at Israel Hands but wounds another pirate, and pirates on shore begin pursuing the boat.
- As the cannon fires, the captain and Redruth force the stern underwater, and the boat sinks in shallow water.
- Everyone survives, but supplies sink and three guns become unusable as the men hurry ashore toward the threatened stockade.

Cosa notare
The captain makes reaching land the immediate priority. Enemy pursuit and cannon fire outweigh the danger of sinking the overloaded boat.
