Less than a Š mile away you can see a huge vessel with a purple Š mainsail sailing towards the strait. Captain Radyard Š appears at your side and he views the approaching Š craft through his telescope. + + "Weigh anchor!" he orders, "Unfurl all canvas. I want Š every ounce of speed she'll give us, lads." The Š Captain's urgent orders stir the crew into a frenzy Š of activity. As they set about their duties, you ask Š Radyard what is wrong. Without taking his eye from Š his telescope he says: + + "That's Sesketera's flagship - éThe Triasusé. I'd Š recognise her sails anywhere. That scoundrel must Š want you badly to have sent the pride of his battle Š fleet after the likes of us." + + With all canvas lowered, the éSeaspriteé cuts a rapid Š course through the glassy blue waters of 'Kastrow's Š Door'. Yet éThe Triasusé has the advantage and Š relentlessly she closes the gap until no more than Š thirty yards of water separate her from the Š éSeasprite'sé starboard beam. The Siyenese cajole and Š curse and wave their fists at their pursuers, but Š their bravado soon crumbles when they find themselves Š staring into the muzzles of a double row of wide- Š bored naval cannon. A warning shot from a swivel gun Š whistles through the éSeasprite'sé rigging, and then Š you hear the voice of Sesketera himself. + + "Surrender the Northlander to me, Captain," he Š shouts, through a loudhailer, "or I'll have my Š gunners blow your ship out of the water!" + + Radyard glances at you with fear in his eyes. He Š knows that he cannot outrun éThe Triasusé, and he also Š knows that Sesketera is not a man who is given to Š making idle threats. + + + If you wish to volunteer to surrender to Sesketera in Š order to save Captain Radyard and his ship, turn to Š â113â + + If you decide instead to abandon the éSeaspriteé and Š attempt to swim for the shore, turn to â92â +
