heads as breakfast when the time comes

England or freedom

who carried too much canvas that Titian

smacks and John Paul Jones is stalking

these waters are weather a gale running

across that yogi scoundrel what sir

we're a half day from England and by

goodness sir

I mean to get home

it's coming down

doctor I have amusing news of our

captain Jean Paul Jones indeed foreign

minister my sources say he is plucking

the British Lions whiskers we at our

very door he raids their towns and snaps

up their ships they call him the

criminal let us hope that great crimes

bring great rewards what angers them

most is the name he gave his sheep he

named her after the French name of your

amusing little book Poor Richard's

Almanack ah let Maxime do one oh ma

in your miss

that was our guest dr. Brooke a good

deal better than when I arrived

Captain John Paul Jones and your service

miss Sarah Phillips very well Sarah

Phillips we shall get you your dry

clothes and some hot food and discuss

just what I'm going to do with you ah my

do be a wee bit hungry after your

adventure miss Phillips I feel badly

about taking your cabin captain Jones

oh you've done me an honor miss Phillips

it's not every first lieutenant who has

is captain as a roommate but I must

caution you my friends

we have brought aboard BONHOMME RICHARD

a daughter of our enemy

born on rechart you named your ship in

honor of Benjamin Franklin my friend and

patron and mine sir so Fox

the journalist you've a keen way with a

pen young lady perhaps you will honor

our expedition with a story please

forgive me captain Jones I've given up

my writing indeed may I ask why he says

a fine table captain

so the ships in Old East Indiaman 900

tons of rotting timber these 18 pound

cannons were condemned by the French

Navy and I fear the crews is cast off as

the ship and weapons

there are Americans Irish stock French

sweet Norwegian Portuguese East Indian

Royal Navy deserters and a few not sure

where they come from not to mention a

hold full of British guests you English

prisoners aboard 200 of them

these men were taken from captured ships

miss Phillips what do you intend to do

with them Sarah Sarah Phillips Alec you

know this man since I could barely walk

an expensive son of my father's

gamekeeper I'm sure you two have much to

discuss if you'll excuse me

by heaven Sarah to see you here not the

same Nobby need girl you taught to ride

a horse but how'd you end up in this

nest of vipers I was shipwrecked coming

home from America had enough of those

ruddy rebels had you are they treating

you well well enough but with your help

it could get better

we're in spitting distance of home with

a hold full of able British seamen you

mean help you escape of course you want

to strike a blow for England don't you

of course I do good lass when the time

comes you'll do what's right Alec I must

go

all ships have answered our signal but

one sir right alliance leaving us again

it's mutiny sir clap that captain in

irons I wish that I could mr. Dale

but unfortunately I command by consent

he's within his rights sail h* about the

beetle of debtors a pretty one looks

like a private yacht sailing hard two

meters to me they must think we're

British let's say it is confusion raise

the British flag mr. Dale what is it

captain but what is happening I'm about

to turn my quartered egg into a theater

and you and that ballet costume miss

Phillips had better get below

let me understand this your master

Sir John Anstruther has sent you to

borrow black powder that's right sir

he's got Cannon and shot but no powder

have mercy sir that Yankee beast Jones

is on his way is he now

you may depend on it sir with a convoy

stuck in Bridlington Bay waiting for the

wind to shift mr. Dale give this

gentleman what he needs to protect

himself from that pirate Jones

and get him off my ship and make four

Bridlington Bay

we've got to save the convoy we're in

danger Sara we can't trust this pirate

he'd as soon have our heads as breakfast

captain Joan seems like a man of honor

haha honour ask him about the towns he's

attacked the merchant sailors English

sailors like me we'll never see home

again ask him by attacking England I

hope to make the British even more weary

of w*r so they will surrender to us our

freedom and every ship looking for me as

one fewer to burn Boston or Philadelphia

but you were born British I was born a

Scot miss Phillips British by the point

of a sword the Royal Navy will hunt you

with a hundred ships they will hang you

as a pirate aye it may come to that but

America has been my favourite country

since I first saw it at the age of 13

it's a land that values people for

themselves not how big their houses are

or whether they have the title Lord

before their names

whatever the cost of Liberty miss

Phillips I will pay it but what have you

child

why were you headed back to England it

is my home Captain Jones indeed you were

born there and why do you no longer wish

to write for dr. Franklin's newspaper I

cannot write what I do not believe in

forgive me miss Phillips ooh but you

strike me as someone who believes in

Liberty perhaps even as strongly as I do

you don't understand Captain Jones my

father and the violence all the pain

I've seen

I'm so confused I think I do understand

but there comes a time in every life

when one must decide what one stands for

consider yours wisely sir we cited the

convoy

HMS Serapis Armani g*ns owner mr. Dale I

make at least fifty sir about twenty

eighteen pounders to our six she can

outshoot and out sale us we can't bite

that monster sir make for Serapis mr.

Dale I intend coming into harm's way

why British colors mr. Dale we must get

them to hold their fire as long as

possible signal our other ships to

engage the convoy

you'll be safer below barely ready let's

get ready to run out

what ship is that

I'm sorry should be false the fire eel

and ceramides raise our flag and open

fire

ah

I take lads we play glee show the

Wickham me

find that tackle runabout smartly fire

two of our 18 pounders blew up sir my

fear for the honors

give the man small outs and get them on

deck

steady now we've got them on the run

master eight hours report the g*ns are

gone fires spreading we're done for

for mercy's sake surrender captain

strike our colors I will sink before I

lure our flag sir us your ship surrender

please captain Jones stop this madness I

have not yet begun to fight for

he's hammering us to pieces

we must get close to him but how she can

sail circles around us we'll use our

wits mr. Dale way on all the canvas

she'll carry

running away after him

you

took the bait hard over

not my buddy max we have our now through

grappling ions

run her out lads then aim for her

mainmast

Lubin three hours and still asses if

that Yankee pirate isn't stopped no town

on the coast where is safe whose safety

sir will come with peace if these

wretches won't deliver in it then go and

be done with it

hello what's that the Alliance is back

sir she's coming to our aid we've got

them now lines

she's purling broadside she's attacking

us

the Alliance is sailing away sir waters

rising down below

Sara I knew to come we're inside in

England but Alec the battle is horrible

we'll put an inter captain Jones there

go let us out

England need your help Sara don't let

her down

come on men the ship is ours

first man out of that hatch deals with

me

choose I fight for freedom and liberty

is your heart truly on the side of the

oppressors fight your g*ns are gone and

what's left of this ship sinking right

under you and man the pups it's win or

die you have one more chance miss folks

England or freedom

shoes

Sara I'm sorry Ally but I must stand for

freedom I know that now

think about it Sara because there's no

turning back

Captain Jones I would like to help with

the pumps and if you want to survive

you'll help to take it to the pumps mr.

Dale

we are beaten men

first five men come with me rest of you

stay below serve our cause with your

eyes and your pen

British sailors fled as a brave crew of

the bottom Rochelle Ford musket fire

into the Serapis g*n port the ship's

carpenter his face blackened by

gunpowder dodge flying splinters and

g*nf*re - Rita Jones and he screams

waters rising fast in the hold I beg you

sir

surrender sir did you surrender no sir I

haven't as yet thought of it but I'm

determined to make you strike your

colors

an American lad climb from the rigging

of the border Musharraf to the rigging

of the therapist directly above the

enemy he tossed a grenade into an open

hatch of the services deck the grenade

landed with a certain warhead g*n

the main map to the south is splinters

crippling the great warship finally the

captain of the British ship had had

enough cease fire

the great battle between the bonhomie

shark and Serapis was over

I did not take a sword from one who

fought so gallantly sorry to report sir

the waters rising we can't save the

bottom Rashard

she was a cast-off ship with a cast-off

clueless Phillips yet she beat the best

they say that captain Pearson might be

knighted for his gallant fight if I have

the good fortune to fall in with him

again I'll make him a lord what will you

do now miss Phillips the hardest thing

I've ever done face my mother and tell

her I'm an American and you Captain

Jones help me decide to do that you

wouldn't give up like General Washington

dr. Franklin and so many others devoted

to freedom you inspired me Captain Jones

miss Phillips I shall look forward to

many new articles under your name

sister

give that freedom declare it on the side

of life never give up you represent
