The Locket
Many years ago, a tiny bundle was abandoned by the dockside. With this bundle was left a jewel-encrusted locket with a miniature of a beautiful lady inside.
That very night, a ghostly ship slipped into the bay and a small row boat silently pulled alongside the pontoon. The first to disembark was a tall, willowy figure, dressed in a billowing black cloak. He wore a three point hat upon his head, a flintlock in his belt and a vicious look upon his face. Then five more men scrambled from the vessel, their shining cutlasses glinting in the moonlight.
Their intention was to steal from the wealthy merchants who lived in the grand houses on the edge of town. The pirating business was not what it used to be. Ships were better protected and hidden treasure was scarce. The captain and his crew missed the plundering and pillaging of the past and had decided to deploy their talents onshore.

With the captain leading the way and the men following behind like loyal ducklings, they attempted to slip into town unnoticed. Unfortunately they stumbled, tripped and swayed like drunkards, as their sea legs rendered them incapable of the silent entrance they required.
‘Be quiet you mangey lot,’ hissed their leader. ‘Do you want to wake up the whole town?’
Just then, a piercing shriek broke through the night. The group stopped in their tracks and winced.
‘What in the King of Spain's name is THAT?’ exclaimed the captain.
They all looked towards the source of the racket and their eyes fell upon a bundle beside a barrel. ‘Well what are you waiting for? Find out what it is and shut it up before it gets us all killed!’

As one, the group cautiously crept up to the bundle and stepped back in unison when they saw a baby wrapped in a blanket screaming and beetroot with anger. The captain grabbed the baby and was about to throw it into the bay when a glittering object caught his eye. Around the baby’s neck was a delicate gold chain and from it hung an elaborately decorated locket, encrusted with precious stones.
‘Well, well,’ said the Captain. ‘What have we here lads? Whoever dumped this shrieking thing here must have more treasure where this came from.’ He opened the locket and stared at the image within it. He realised at once that it was the daughter of his arch enemy who stared back at him, and a plan formed instantly. With that, he tucked the bundle in his cloak and headed back to the rowboat, with his crew following unsteadily behind.

How Not to Find Treasure
By James
The one good eye of Captain Black Eye Jack was scanning the sea for any incoming vessels from the bow of the well known, and widely feared Bloody Revenge (the name really is suitable). The lookout yelled down from the crow’s nest ‘Land ahoy!’ Black Eye Jack’s heart leapt; could this be the island all pirates knew about, could it really be Treasure Island?
Black Eye Jack immediately took complete control of the crew, “Everyone to your positions!” he commanded. The Bloody Revenge made a beeline for the island, which was barren, apart from a clump of coconut trees. This is exactly as everyone described it, this must be the place us pirates have searched for centuries, and I’m the one to find it! Black Eye Jack could barely suppress the whoop for joy that was spreading through him like wildfire.
