You tell Jenkshi, but he is greatly Š sceptical of your seamanship and he ignores your Š advice. He is more concerned about finding survivors Š than listening to your vague warnings of danger. Š Unfortunately, he soon has cause to regret his Š decision when suddenly a Shadakine man o'war breaks Š cover from between two rocky islets and comes surging Š towards ιThe Azanι. Jenkshi immediately orders his crew Š to unfurl every last inch of canvas and take evasive Š action, but the wind is now beginning to change and Š this greatly hampers them as they struggle to carry Š out his orders. You magnify your vision and scour the prow and Š foredecks of the approaching ship. It is dressed with Š the scarlet sails of a Shadaki buccaneer vessel and Š it is sitting very low in the water. You hazard a Š guess that it must be fully laden with booty stolen Š from the hold of the burning trader. With the wind Š going against him, Jenkshi takes a calculated gamble. Š He orders his helmsman to steer towards a narrow Š channel between two nearby islets. He is hoping that Š his lighter craft will be able to pass through the Š shallows here and gain precious time while the Š heavier enemy ship will be forced to go around the Š isles to avoid running aground. It is a bold Š manoeuvre, and one that is made all the more Š dangerous when the enemy captain suddenly turns his Š vessel and runs it parallel with ιThe Azanι. To your Š horror you see that the Shadakine man o'war is armed Š with deck cannons. As it gains on your ship you see Š clouds of white smoke and flame erupt all along its Š hull. Then seconds later you hear the rumbling roar Š of its cannons, followed closely by the terrifying Š shriek of its deadly ball and chain shot as it comes Š hurtling through the air towards your vulnerable Š ship.
