06Sue Stows Away

The bird shoes speak for themselves. A bird for the transcribed premier production, the crews of the Paul Parrot. That thrilling adventure tale of the famous whaling days back in 1858. You will remember the Captain Roy Dalton and first made George Wainwright, found young Johnny Robbins, the boy who helped them track down the Rascal Altesti, and subsequently was

carried off by the Spaniard, tied and gagged in an empty cask on the deck of the whaling ship Paul Parrot. The ship has now left the harbor of New Bedford and is well on its way to sea, as we find Captain Dalton and Wainwright I'm racing Johnny from the whale oil caps.

There, his arms are free. I haven't tied his legs, Roy. Gee. What's the matter, lad? Are you hurt? No, but I've been tied up in that cask for so long, I'm aches all over. Oh, Johnny, how old earth did you get aboard the Paul Parrot?

I'm mighty glad to see you got free of that Bill Scumell testi, but I want to know who tied you and stole you in here. Was that Spaniard that grabbed me and dragged me away on the dockslays, not Captain Dalton?

That's who it was, all right? Not the Lubberell testi. I'll take care of him. But listen, that means you got aboard this ship last night after all. Captain, do you think he's still aboard? Then that ties in with the two men Jowatt reported aboard last night.

Johnny, do you know if Al testy left the ship last night? No, sir, I don't. I just know he and the other man tied me up and put me in his cask and slammed down the lid.
