It is 1805 - the H.M.S Surprise is in the south Atlantic Ocean, to prevent the War against Bonaparte reaching those waters, but French ships are not all the crew comes across. A wreckage of a Whaler is found strewn over the water, but are there any survivors?

Aubrey stood at the helm, solenmy watching the waters ahead, hands behind his back. He let out a sigh, and walked down the steps to his cabin, a hand rubbing his throbbing forehead. It had been almost two weeks since land-fall, and tempers were running high.

He sat at his desk and pulled out the report from the Quater-master. Water was running low and, according to the Carpenter, as were other needed supplies..

"Man Overboard!" came the call from on deck.

[Shalimar]

Lyra shudered, closing her eyes, clutching to the plank of wood, all that kept her afloat in the bitter cold waters. Shivering, another frail arm came out of the water, reaching desparatly to hold onto the plank, yet her grip fell lose. He muscles wherein riged cold spasams, she could not hold on to her life forse much longer. Suddenly, a shout awakened her sences and she looked up, at the ghost of a ship. She smiled, thinking she had finaly died and closed her eyes.

[Lissie]

Aubrey left his desk and appeared on deck quickly, settling his hat on his head, and shrugging into his jacket. He walked to the side of the ship and looked over. "Good Lord" he murmured, looking at the wreckage of the ship. He swallowed, and turned to the men "Mr Larson, Launch the long boats. Search for any survivors" He instructed. "I will join you. Mr. Allen and Mr Mowett will take the other."

[Shalimar]

Lyra groaned and called out at the ship, trying to get someones attention, anyones attention. She didn't care who.

[~London~]

Charles nods and sets about his task. Some of the other boys jump in and help him heave the boats over the side. He climbs in and waits for Aubrey.

Kalina pulls herself up on the wreckage. She clings to a board and closes her eyes.


(Sss)

[Lissie]

Aubrey climbed down and settled himself at the head of the long boat. He took out his telescope and glanced at the water ahead of him. It was littered with wreckage and unmoving bodies, but no sign of survivors.

[~London~]

Charles steers the boat through the wreckage. He comes right up beside someone clinging to a board. "Captain! This one is alive!" He helps to pull her up into the boat.

[Shalimar]

Lyra shivered clinging onto the form that pulled her onto the boat. "There is another..." she whispered, bairly loud enough to hear. "There..." she whispered, and coughed.

[~London~]

"Where?" He looked out at the wreckage looking for someone else. None were moving. Except....As he watched the limp form slipped off of the board. He dived into the water and pulled her up to the surface. He grabbed hold of the side of the longboat.

[Lissie]

Aubrey lent over the side of the longboat, pulling the girl into his arms, allowing Charles to climb in himself. He glanced at the girl, rubbing her arms to warm her as he shrugged off his coat, wrapping it around her shoulders. "Back to the Surprise" He ordered, trying to warm the woman.

[Shalimar]

Lyra sneezed. "Thank you..." she whispered, closing her tired eyes, wrapping her arms around herself. She shivered and looked around slowly.

[~London~]

She fell over into Aubrey's arms unconcsious and barely breathing. Charles shivers and resumes his post. He brings the boat up alongside the Surprise. He grabs a rope and ties it to the boat. He grabs another to hold the boat steady.
