It was a dark and quiet njght near the port, where all of
the pirate ships stay before they sajl. There were no Jjghts on
the street, and the only sounds were the laughing and
singing behind the closed door of a bar called The Blue
Dolphin. A man wearing a black pirate hat opened the door
of the Blue Dolphin. He had a black patch over one eye and
a scar on one side of his face. Everyone suddenly became
quiet. A sailor at the bar asked the barman:
"Who's that?"
"That is Captajn Pike, the greatest pirate in all the world.
They say he's stolen from the Queen of England, the King of
France and the King of Spain."
Captain Pike walked slowly around the tables looking
closely at each man with his cold, grey eye. He had a very
serious and cold way of talking.
''I'm looking for sailors and I need the best there are
around."
A big man in a white and blue shirt with a blue scarf
around his neck, stood up in front of Captajn Pike.
"You won't find anyone stronger than I am, Captain. Tell
me where to put my name and I'm ready to sail."
Captain Pike looked into the man's eyes. His eyes were
blue like the sea. Captain Pike's eye became narrower as he
talked to the man.
''I'm sailing to the Bermuda Triangle to get Blackbeard's
treasure."
The man in front of him slowly sat down. Others began towhisper. The barman said to the sa ilor:
"Nobody has ever found Blackbeard's treasure. They say
it was lost somewhere in the Bermuda Triangle. All those
who have tried to find it have never returned."
Captain Pike continued to walk among the men. He knew
it would b difficult to find men to go with him , so he talked
about the treasure to excite them.
'They say there are di amonds as big as your nose; rubies,
gold, pearl s. Blackbeard was a pirate like us. It's in our
blood . I'm sure he wou ld want other pirates to have it."
Suddenly a loud scream came from a dark corner near
the stairs. A very old man with thin white hair and a shining
gold tooth walked out from the darkness to talk to the men.
A large white bird sat on his should r.
"You don't know what you' re saying! T hat treasure must
always stay with Blackbeard's crhost, on his ship . It is his
punishment for hurting the natives of the islands. Go to Rum
I sland. T he natives there will tell you the story."
Captain Pike looked clown at the man, angry because he
was trying to start trouble. He wanted to ki ll the man with his
knife, but instead he reached into his coal and took a bag full
of gold coin s out of his pocket. He put it on one of the tables
next to a long white piece of paper h had.
"''ve got one hundred gold coi ns here. I'll give one to
every man th at puts his name on thi piece of paper and sa ils
with me tomorrow, at midnight."
T he men forgot what the old man sa id when they saw the
gold coin s. T hey ran to sign their names. Captain Pike sta red
at the old man once more. The old man looked at him too,
and left the bar with his bird . Captain Pike yelled to the
bartender:
"Bartender! Drinks for everyone! We sail tomorrow."
