""But wait a minute - where's Eddie?"" I suddenly realized his absence.

I ran to the bow, and then all the way to the stern, went up and down the stairs, but I couldn't find him anywhere. The sky had started to clear and dawn broke... where could he be?

""A-hoy!"" I suddenly heard a call from above me.

I looked up and saw him. He was standing on the ""Monkey Island"" above the bridge, where all the navigation antennas devices were placed. His right hand was pointing to the horizon.

""Third Officer Adi, call all the crew to their firing positions, a warship is approaching us in high speed, we are in danger""!

I looked out at the horizon, and from a distance I could distinguish a large vessel approaching us quickly. Could this really be a warship in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean? I wondered.
