Despite her fear, Rosa giggled. He looked very funny!

The pirates, who had all come running by now, caught sight of him and started sniggering too.

“Stop it! Stop it! STOP IT!” yelled King Rat furiously, his eyelashes twinkling with diamonds. “Get those boys, or it’ll be nothing but ship’s biscuits for dinner for the whole year!”

At that threat, the pirates roared and charged towards Rosa and Nutmeg, hands out. They were coming from all directions. “There’s only one thing for it. Up the rigging!” Rosa shouted. She leapt to the main mast and start to climb the rigging as quickly as she could. Nutmeg followed her. It wasn’t easy, because the ship was now moving up and down in the rough sea.

“Where are we going to go?” Nutmeg cried.

“I don’t know! Just keep climbing!” gasped Rosa, clinging on to the ropes with all her strength as the pirates started climbing up behind them. Her mind whirled. Sooner or later they would reach the top of the rigging, and then what would they do? There was no escape! But she still kept climbing, faster and faster, higher and higher. She and Nutmeg were both light and nimble and they could move much faster than the heavy, cumbersome pirates.

“Now where?” said Nutmeg as they reached the top of the main sail. There was nowhere else to go, so they edged out along one of the wooden spars at the top of the sail, until they were above the rolling waves.

“I … I don’t know,” said Rosa, panic rising inside her. She glanced down. The pirates and King Rat were gathered on the deck, yelling up at them, while two more pirates slowly climbed the rigging towards them, eyes gleaming, daggers between their teeth.

“We’re completely trapped, Rosa!” said Nutmeg. “Whoa!” she cried, hanging on as the ship tossed upwards on a large wave. “And it doesn’t feel very safe up here!”
