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 !"
