THE PIRATES! IN AN ADVENTURE WITH WHALING

Book ID/图书代码： 10010006B01399

English Summary/英文概要： Since she sailed away after the pirates’ adventure with scientists, the pirates’ boat has been somewhat battered by the rigours of ocean life. Her mast keeps collapsing, her wheel has broken off and several of the pirates have ended up with nasty splinters. Realising his paintings can only cover up the leaks for so long, the Pirate Captain decides he must pay a visit to Cutlass Liz’s boat yard (Liz is ’famed for having the best face on the entire eastern seaboard’) and trade his ship in for a newer model. Dazzled by the swan-lined curtains and tennis courts of ’The Lovely Emma’, and frankly, by Cutlass Liz’s lovely face, the Pirate Captain makes a rash decision and finds himself with a debt of six thousand doubloons, and very little time in which to pay it before the sands of Liz’s hourglass run out and he and his crew are gutted like fish. And so the Pirates set forth on a courageous voyage and a desperate quest for some ready cash. Their adventure will take them from the Florida Keys to the bright lights of Las Vegas, to the ends of the earth in search of a mythical white whale, and even, perhaps into the dark depths of madness. But hopefully, they’ll be home in time for tea.
