CHAPTER SIX

The two boys stood up to face the crew of the Barnacle. The one who had spoken was taller, with dark skin and curly brownishred hair that matched his freckles. There was a mischievous but friendly look in his green eyes."Welcome to our deserted island," he said, bowing theatrically. "I am Jean, and this is my friend, Tumen."Tumen gave a very slight nod. He was short, with glossy black hair, a sharp nose, and tanned skin. Arabella and Jack exchanged a look; he was definitely native, but dressed in the same ragged sailor clothes as Jean."I'm Jack Sparrow," Jack said. "This is Arabella and Fitz."Jean picked a water bag off a stump and offered it to Arabella, who drank hungrily."You were caught in the same cursed storm, huh?" Jean asked. "Tumen and I were on the Seraph. I think we are the only survivors--the English don't teach their sailors to swim so well.""That's terrible," Arabella said, taking a deep breath, wiping her mouth, and handing the water bag over to Fitzwilliam."It's pretty hot and not so nice around here. But still, this is not the worst place to have washed up," Jean pointed to the island around them. "Coconuts for eating, a freshwater spring up that way. And there is plenty of lumber. We're building a raft to try to get back to our home port." He pointed to the pile of crudely chopped driftwood logs. Nearby lay several coiled lengths of vine, to lash the logs together."There's more water, then?" Fitzwilliam asked, as he handed the water bag to Jack who turned it upside down--not a drop left!"There's as much as you want, my friend." Jean laughed. "If you do not mind the ... ambience."Tumen held up what looked like a human bone.Jack choked."Oh, my goodness," Arabella breathed."Plenty more where that came from, too," Jean said darkly. "That is why we have been sticking close to the beach."Jack, Arabella, and Fitz stared at the bone in silence.
