Youre a dead man walking! And youre a scurvy dog! Away with ye! Black Dog limps away wounded. The captain struggles to his feet. He has the look of a man who has much to fear. Next day another stranger turns up - a blind beggar. He slips into the inn, and presses a piece of paper into the captains hand.
Agghh! Tis the Black Spot! Captain? Jim, Jim. Whats happening? But before Jim can find out more, the beggars gone and the captain has fallen to the floor, stone cold dead. Turns out the captain Billy Bones, his real name is on the run from his old pirate crew. Theyre after something. Something hes hidden.
Mother:
