*Network Special We have been on a sail through the seven seas and due to the boring period of non-fighting, we scoured our battle-ship titled 'Golden Hind' and found a book written by our grandpa 'Sir Francis Drake', the adventurer, buccaneer,admiral and glorious-Hero of the british nation and the pirates - world.... We'll now displace you right into the time of plundering ships, harbours and islands,-the time of kidnapping that Kings doughters in order to fuck them wild or to exchange them for an army of slaves or tons of caribic Gold ! Now enough about our old days in total action with our 'Golden Hind', which helped us making those xenophobins, from Vera Cruz to Barbados ! Sorry.... And now a cut of grandpas secret book of his day, which is dated with: 13. December 1577 Today I sailed out with 3 ships and two little ships helping us carring food and rum, which were later left alone, as planned before. Also on bord was my friend Thomas Doughty, secretary of the minister of the King. -Crew: Glad 10. January 1578 (morning) Yesterday I found out, that my socalled 'friend' is a multineer, because it was rainy the last days and we couldn't find a ship to plunder yet and Thomas used his chance to call the crew up for multineering. But my true officers noticed that and now he's wrapped to the main mast. We'll for sure judge him in the afternoon. -Crew: Angry 10. January 1578 (afternoon) After a quick judgement, Thomas lost his head. -Crew: Shocked 11. January 1578 As a sign of newbeginning I ordered my buccaneers to paint over the old ships name 'Pelican' and they should title it 'Golden Hind'. -Crew: Hopefull 2. Febuary 1578 The strom and the strong winds brought us to a town, known as 'Valparaiso' and noone thought about our ship to be a Pirates-ship. So we played with the spanish army and captured a giant war-ship, which was stored in the harbour and later we plundered the whole town. -Crew: Unstopable 15. Febuary 1578 We anchored at a town called 'Callao' and because our foodstorage was quite empty, so we used the chance and plundered the city and my crew also spend some time with the wifes there. -Crew: Happy 20. Febuary 1578 My friends raised sails again... 1. March 1579 It is 3 o'clock in the afternoon. I can see a ship called "Nuestra Senora da la Concepcion" and the spanish owners call that ship a firemaker, because of it's giant guns. I suppose the ship to have the whole result of one year on bord. That must be all gold, silver and valuable stones from the mines for spain.. The crew starts to prepare the weapons for a glorious fight. We fired three loads of a gun and the ship thought it was a salute. So they closed sail and we came closer and closer to the ship. At the moment we are sailing under a spanish flag, but i ordered to change the flags when they aren't able to fire, without damaging their own ship. So we entered the ship and the spanish crew never made a sign to stop us. I wrote this while fighting and something i added later. It's now the fourth plundering the ship and through a window I can see the pirates carring the last chest. The officer knocks at my door and I'll close book for a moment. He gave me a list of plundered goods. It took us 4 days to store all goods and it was worth waiting so long, because the spanish ship was the biggest success we ever had. We plundered: 80 bars of gold 26 tons of silver 13 chests of silvercoins 46 chests of pearls and valuable stones. -Crew: Adoring me 6. March 1579 The 'Golden Hint' is so overloaded, that she is lying deep under the water line. It's hard to navigate her, because of her weight and it was not possible to capture another ship. So we used to drink most of the rum, to make her weight decrease, but as a fact we all drunk too much and as I'm the only one, who not drink that much, I saw the look-out falling from the 40 metres high mast direct on the deck where he is still lying in his blood. Not a nice view to see that, but the crew was drunk and so they only laughed about him. 26. September 1580 We sailed into the habour of the english town 'Plymouth', which we left three years ago. I have visited the Queen (Elisabeth) and she told me, that the spanish king demands my head. But she used to save my head by striking me to a knight. And knight won't be delivered to some- one, who wants him dead. -That were some glorious days from my grandpa Sir Knight Francis Drake. Flim:"Nobody striked me to a Knight... although I am a glorious Pirate, who has no fear for anybody.... ...see you on a party and I'll show you my abilities as a real Pirate to- gether with PJ... ! Ask about the Funmaker and Voodoo-Clan Cultism !" -Flim Flam & PJD
