Peter and the Shadow thieves by day. Berry and Ridley Pearson. The story that Doakes, a subdued and shaken Doakes told below decks later was so strange that some of the crewmen were convinced he must have gone mad. Have gotten into the grog for the boy claimed that a man or something had come on board and yet no ship had brought him. I swear it, he said, responding to the doubting looks of the men gathered around him. There was no ship in the water. Then hold you get here. Asked his skeptical voice. We're 500 miles from land. I I don't know what it was said the boy, his normally ruddy face gone pale and sickly. I thought I saw Ah, watch boy a shape in the water because our ship But it weren't no shape. It came along site. And then I thought right Sora and an arm come aboard. Unarmed? Yes. Ah, great. Huge arm like a snake. You're a mad boy. Harsh blood. Um talk. Then what boy?

Afraid that's what it looked like, said the boy. Well, then what? Then the man went down the companion way. Quick is anything was like He flowed down like water down a dream. And then he was gone.
