All aboard for the transcribed premier production, the crews of the Paul Parrot. We're ready for another exciting adventure of the sea in our thrilling story which takes place in the year 1860. In our last episode, Johnny and Sue, along with Captain Dalton, old Dickon, Sue's brother as Randall, the rest of the crew of the Paul Parrot,
set sail from the islands of Tristan de Cunha on the last leg of their journey home. But while they were interested on, they met a very disagreeable Captain of a merchant man named Carsh, who, strange to say, had his supposed merchant vessel equipped with full-sized cannon.
Dickon hasn't trusted him from the start, because he thinks Karsh is really a privateer, and when the Paul Parrot finally leaves the harbor and sails north, homeward-bound, the Afro-Canach-Karsh-ship puts on full sail and follows.
This is doubly suspicious, because Karsh was supposed to be sailing for South Africa, and also, because Karsh has apparently guessed that there is a very valuable cargo on board the the paw parrot because it's sailing home and it doesn't carry much whale oil.
And of course we know there is a very valuable treasure aboard, those rough diamonds from the island of Galtow. As we see our friends again, the paw parrot is fairly flying through the waves with the Afrocanna in what is now openly full chase, and Johnny and Sue are talking to Dickon.
There's no doubt of it now anymore, Dickon. That Captain Karsh is really after us. Hi, Johnny Led. I knew from the very beginning that swab was a bloomin' privateer. He's a pirate! He's a pirate!
Aah! The only thing I can understand is why Captain Dalton is running away! Blow me down, Sue! What do you mean? I mean... that is... well, it just isn't like Captain Dalton not to stand and fight!
