On a dark foggy night the LIUTENANT called his PRIVATEERS to get over to the ship.One hour later the crew members arrived at the HARBOR.When they got there the captian said that they were going on a over night FISHING trip.They walked up on the MAIN DECK and wondered why they were asked to come.After they sat around and talked they each went to their BUNK to rest.They were interupted in the middle of the night due to one of the men going through the CARGO.They all ran down to the captian to ask what they were really going to catch.The captian said that they were hunting SHARKS.About five thirty in the morning they were all ready to catch some sharks.So two of the crew went to the BOW of the ship and got all straped in the special seats.The other members went to the front and one was on the PLANK.So by nine o’clock a.m. they arrived back at the harbor and unloaded the sharks that they caught.They all had a wonderful time ans said “we should do these more often.”

It had been two years since corporal Johnson join the navy. The sailors in his battalion are going to leave the PORT by tomorrow. The LIEUTENANT of Echo Company said the destination is somewhere beyond the CORAL reef of Australia. Us sailors travel around the world. Me and Johnson sometimes view ourself as.. PIRATES. We did see SHARKS alot and we are fully armed. But we dont smell like them pirates. And the only treasures we’re looking for are honor, courage and experience. We are always ready tol eave the WHARFS and do our job. Johnson likes to hang out at the the STERN, he enjoy seeing the waves on the back, he is easily amused. I like to hang at MAIN DECK, feeling the breeze blow through my hair and my white naval uniform. I applied for the SEALs so i can swim like FISHes, swim around stealthly and to complete one of the most elite missions. I did’nt make it, so i continued to be a sailor for a few more years. I joined the USN earlier than Johnson three years.
I am Sgt. Dixon. Our battalion will be on a fight tomorrow. The objective is to secure a CARGO ship. The ship might be hostile. I hope we won’t have a high number of casualties.

It’s the break of dawn were just comming out of our BUNKS. Me and my crew are leaving the HARBOR. I didn’t know that when I said'” it’s going to be an exciting”. It really was going to be.
We make it out to sea. As were going my ship gets stuck on CORAL. The co captain says” If we dump some CARGO the boat will float up and we’ll get off the coral. In all the camotion going on,on the BOW we didn’t see the PIRATE climb aboard. He starts fighting my men but we out number him. We capture him and draged him into the GAURDHOUSE.
Later on we decide to make him walk the PLANK. We get some FISH and cut them up. We dump it into the water to attract SHARKS. Once they’re there we put him on the plank, and make him walk off. He gets dragged under and we don’t see him again, then we go eat dinner

These are my 10 words:privateer, lieutenant,fish,sharks,harbor,plank,treasure,pirate,ship, and tar.
There once was a PIRATE named Captain Ooglemyer. Captain Ooglemyer owned an enormous PRIVATEER, hoping to find TREASURE across the ocean on an island no one has dared to arrive and if were to doubt his crew, he would walk the plank. He believed that him and his crew would be able to handle any horrifing so-called myths and creatures that they would approach on the island and that there was definetely treasure to found. The SHIP swiflty sailed away from the HARBOR, and Captain Ooglemyer and his crew were all anxious for there adventurous journey to come to find the lost treasure on Jooble Island.
The LIEUTENANT and the captian both agreed that anyone who knows that they will punk out should leave now or they will be forced to walk the PLANK and be eaten up by the FISHES and the SHARKS in the treacherous ocean that sways fiercly below them. Hesitantly, they all remain on the ship and continued their duties. Through rain storms and sailing troubles, they finally reached the mysterious Jooble Island. The captain was the first to step foot and one by one they all cautiously came on land. Ahead was a forest, so they geussed that the treasure must be buried somewhere in there. But as they were running toward the gloomy forest Captain Ooglemyer tripped over a hump that was sticking up from the sand.”What in the world was that?!” he questioned with anger.”Well dont just stare at it, Dig it up!” the lieutenant ordered. They quickly got on their knees and started to dig but to find a big gigantic block of TAR. Engraved on it said ‘Fool’… and the captian was so embarrased that he led a journey for treasure that ended up being tar.”So theres no treasure?” one of the crew member asked in disappiontment.”I’m afraid not lad” said Captin Ooglemyer.”So your telling us that, our pain, suffering, and axiousness was no need?” said another crew member.”Stop your whining, we’ll just try another, I have heard of many other myths of lost treasures and we should__..” and when that was said by the captain, everyone took the him and including the lieutenant off to ship so they both can be thrown over water to be eaten by the fishes and the sharks.

Hoping that the CLERGYMAN’S end wouldn’t be as dreadful as Sir Shoplee’s, he decided to take a run for it and ride as CARGI in the local VESSEL to the colonies to get away from his execution at the GALLOWS. Once in the ship, a sailor requested a few SHILLINGS from him but seeing as he didn’t carry any on him he had to ride on the QUARTERDECK near the view of nearest SCAFFOLD where 2 men were being hanged. The GANGWAY was closing when the captain standing on the MAIN DECK called out the Clergyman’s name. The Clergyman wasn’t sure whether to go or stay, scared that turning himself in would result in an automatic execution. He looked through the WINDOWPANE to see if the Captain was still standing on the Main Deck, however he was gone and it seemed as if the searchers that were looking for him had given up or gone elsewhere to search. He took one last look towards the scaffold anything was better than dying and he told himself that even though he had committed treason he wanted his life to be given one last shot in the new land, the colonies.

I was at the beach hunting for FISH I then found a piece of CORAL that washed up in the shore. I picked it up & ran to the HARBOR to show my uncle what I had found, on my way there I almost slip on some TAR.Fortunately, I didn’t hurt myself, so when I got there my uncle was slicing open a SHARK. He was pulling out it’s insides slowly while I showed him the piece of coral. My uncle was so impressed that he decided to go show his friend Jason what I had found. He went to go look for him the CROW’S NEST of one of the nearby ships, but he was nowhere to be find. Finally, he found him on a Ship unloading CARGO off the DECK. When he showed it to Jason he was fascinated & said that it would be worth a lot of money. We quickly got off the VESSEL & rushed straight to a nearby PRIVATEER which were on of the black market owners were located. When we got there the man agreed that the piece of coral was valuable & payed us a huge amount of money for it. We gladly accepted the offer & went straight to the market to spend it.

The 10 words that I chose to write about were:pirate, Lieutenant, deck,cargo,fish,sharks,vessel,port,sailcloth, and guardhouse.Here is my story…
Once upon a time there was a pirate. He was on an adventure to find a treasure. The Lieutenant was up on the deck. The men workers were packing away the cargo. The fish and sharks lingered in the water like they had nothing to do. The vessel pulled into the port. While the Lieutenant was pulling down the sailcloth, the treasure was found. The guard from up in the guardhouse, saw that the founder of the gold was non other than the pirate himself. The Lieutenant arrested him and he kept all the treasure for himself.

Dear King,
This has been a long and treacherous voyage . All the food in our CARGO has been aten. All we eat now is FISH and sometimes even SHARKS. We have had encounters with PIRATES ,but we had won the battles . We have made our prisoner walk the PLANK. During to these circumstances we have had to make a GUARD HOUSE on our VESSAL to prevent pirates from sneeking up on us. Lots of our men have been lost to sickness and battle. We have lots of our men dying in their BUNKS and on the MAIN DECK. We Might not survive this Journey or might have to return home.
Sincerly,
Lieutenant John

LIEUTNENANT JJ never liked to talking to people. He just sat near the BOW and eats FISH guts. There was a HARBOR on the ship thats where he hides his special golden CORAL that he found washed up on the shore way back when he was a violent, sweaty PIRATE. When he gets to America he will make a fortune. Until one day these pirates he used to work for came on the ship and threw on some TAR. Lieutenant JJ out-witted them and made the walk the PLANK into the ocean with the hammerhead SHARKS. He got to America went on the CARGO and made a fortune with the rare golden coral.

It was a chilly night, i could tell by the way the wind blew against the sailcloth, which was hung high enough i could see it from my current location, sitting up against my bunk.As i looked out the window i saw various types of fish and sharks swimming around the coral. The boat was at wharf, getting ready to be loaded up with more cargo. I sighed in irritatioin wanting to leave the boat but i was under the strict orders of the privateer and lieutenant not to leave the room i was in. Unforntuetly that was agony to me, being boxed up like i was.Suddenly I heard loud thumping and what seemed like footsteps tromping on the deck. I heard several “ARGS” and i thought for sure there were pirates on the ship. As i looked out the window again at the men moving the cargo in i watched the pirates sneek up upon them and slit thier throats roughly, the men bleeding to death without a clue as to what had happened. The pirates threw thier bodies into the ocean and began to walk to take control of everyoen else on the ship. Other members of the ship screamed in horror watching thier loved ones float away in a ocean of blood. I knew i had to get away if i wanted to live. I crawled out of the window and jumped in to the water swimming to the beach, hoping that the pirates wouldn’t see me. Luckily they didn’t but instead they lit the ship on fire. People jumped out of the windows and plank trying to escape. Unfortunetly not many survived. Luckily i got out of the ship in time And no one i really cared about died. I got free also. so it wasn’t so bad. Besides its not everyday you come across pirates who are phyro maniacs. i thought to my self as i saw the pirates jumping through the fire and tryig to lit each other on fire.

LIEUTENANT Gregory Daniels sat in the GUARDHOUSE and observed the ocean before him.A serene sense of peace filled the air, but there was one problem; it was a little too peaceful. A monday morning at the PORT of Miami was never this quiet. Usually ships are coming in all through the day, loading and unloading boxes of CARGO. Then, out of nowhere, he sees a ship pulling into the HARBOR. With binoculars to his eyes, the lieutenant looked out at the ship. On the DECK, stood four muscular looking men.’Oh NO!’ thought lieutenant Gregory. He knew exactly who those men were. There were wanted posters all over Miami , offering a $40,000 reward if they were captured. You See, these men where known for destroying CORAL reefs to find exotic FISH and capturing SHARKS and whales to cut off the fins and sell them. The U.S coast guard had come close to captuing them many times, but the men were always one step ahead. If the men found that a tip was given to the authorities, they would hunt down the person who gave the tip. It is said that once the men found the person, they would make them “walk the PLANK.” This basically ment that the people would disappear without a clue given about where they have gone. Not only were the men charged with illegal fishing, but where also up for kidnapping and potiential murder. This was a big case for the police.
Lieutenant Gregory sent an S.O.S to the coast guard, called the police department, and told the Marine Corp(who were guarding the port) to stand there grounds and get ready for some action. The men had slipped. They had left themselves vulnerable to the authorities just by being in the vicinity of the port of Miami.The lieutenant could hardly contain his excitement. From the guard house he saw the orange and white motor boats of the coast guards speed ahead. The men on the boat were startled. They could not run or hide because they were surrounded. The men put their hands up as if to surrender. The police quickly climbed on the ship and had the men in handcuffs so quickly that they looked totally confused. ‘Finally,’ thought Lieutenant Gregory ‘ Justice Prevails!’

Once upon a time there was a PRIVATEER by the name of Cashmere and a PIRATE by the name of Caarrrrrrr-men. They were the best of friends, always catching CORAL FISH down by the HARBOR, swimming in the deep blue sea in search for TREASURE, and at least once a month, they would take a trip to go visit their friend Captain Mike who lived in FARGO, which was about 20 miles from where they lived, BUNK Island. Well, one day as Cashemere and Carrrrr-men were in Fargo, they noticed a barrel of TAR resting on the rickety PLANK ahead of them. They had absolutely no idea of why it was sitting there but from what they could see it was collecting sand and leaving a scent in the air that was unpleasant to them but majorly attracting to the fish in the ocean. After watching the fish go bizurrke over the tar for a while, they decided to dump the barrel into the water, so that the fish could calm down and have what they wanted all this time. But after doing so, they noticed that the fish were turning very malicious and were visiously knawing the barrel in every direction. They immediately became frightned and didn’t know what to do, so they ran into their friend Captain Mike’s shack and told him about what was going on. When Captain Mike heard the news, he instanly became joyful and ran outside to see what was going on. After veiwing the amusing scene (to him at least), he sed a spell that made the fish calm down and go back to normal and looked at his frightned friends. He then told them what the barrel of tar did to the fish and warned them not to ever do it again, but in the curious minds of Cashemere and Carrrrr-men, they wondered what was in the tar that made them go sooo crazy. To be continued… THE END!!!

One day, about 200 years to this date, Captain Sparrow and his crew set sail to Port Royal from Cairo, Egypt. About three days into their journey, The were attacked by pirates . As he saw the ship approaching, Captain Sparrow lined up his crew on the main deck and told them to load the cannons and guns and to prepare for a vicious fight. As the crew were preparing, Captain Jack was bringing the vessel to a halt. There were several crew members on the lower deck and the main deck ready and waiting to fire. Everyone was waiting patiently for the pirates to attack. After two minutes, the pirates threw the first punch and fired a cannon. Captain sparrows crew quickly returned fire with a much stronger blow than the one made on them. The crew on the main deck, the ones hiding in the cargo bay, and the lone soldier hiding in the crow’s nest were acting as snipers and shooting the other crew aboard the other ship, but it never went well. The first to go were the men closest to the bow . Next were the people in the cargo bay. Before you knew it, the pirates had taken over the ship and took the survivors as prisoners including the captain to their ship. The prisoners were taken below deck where the bunks were and kept there for about twenty when on of the pirates called them to the upper deck. Captain Sparrow was the first ordered to walk the plank . Since he loved his abandoned ship more than his crew he willingly jumped off the plank into shark -infested waters to be reunited with his ship, but the pirates fired on him when they saw that he was swimming towards his ship and he died. The crew members were slaves of the pirates for the rest of their lives.

“BOOM!” As our ship reached the harbor and it accidentaly crashed into the sand, I fell out of the top bunk in my cabinet. “AHOY MATEY! WE’VE REACHED LAND !” shouted Crabs from the crow’s nest. “EYY LAD! WATCH OUT!” shoted crabs again as the spars supporting the vessels came down on top of the main deck. I jumped out of the ship on what seemed to be a coral reef. It was such an excuisite site. Multicolored fish swam their way between my toes giving me tingling senses throughout my body. As a pirate the ship was my home and now i watched it sink. The sailcloth now left a blanket in the water as it sunk also.

For young 18 year old Jeff, the Navy was everything, especially since he loved to sail. Ever since he was a little boy, Jeff owned a small sailboat which had two decks. His favorite deck was the main deck. From there he could have the best view of the ocean. Sometimes he even saw sharks swimming near the coast if the weather was right. He had already applied in the Navy for when he finished school. As he hoped, he got enlisted. Now all he had to do was to get his things ready for his training aboard a vessel. Three days later he headed to the port to commence his training. When he saw his assigned vessel, Jeff could feel shivers going down his back from thinking what he would be expected to do. He then walked up the ramp and headed toward the bunk to leave all his stuff. On his way there he noticed how the some planks were sticking out of the deck. Also he saw how the spars were in bad condition. When he finally entered the bunk, Jeff saw many other men organizing their stuff in their assigned spaces. In the following months, Jeff and all the other enlisted men were trained under the harshest conditions, in rain or shine, with barely any time to sleep. All of them learned how to sail, clean, and manage a full vessel in fast efficient ways. To make things worse, any time one of them didn’t do their duty, everyone went to the dirtiest part of the vessel: the cargo room. Somehow all the cargo got heavy dust within a matter of days, and everyone was expected to leave it as if it had just arrived there. This usually lasted around 14 hours, since the dust in the cargo was difficult to clean and the room was the biggest on the vessel. Sometimes Jeff wondered way he had signed up and got homesick. Later on he managed to deal with his frustration and got the courage to do his best. Six months passed by and their grueling training would come to an end. Finally they reached the port; everyone got their things packed up. Just as each of them left in uniform ready to take a break before officially being in the Navy, Jeff was called in to talk with the captain. He was then told by the captain himself that of all the people that were enlisted none of them had shown as much responsibility and courage as he did. Then Jeff was promoted to the rank of lieutenant. Now Jeff went back home on his break. Yet he was even more excited to start off his dream.

When my family and I arrived to the GUARDHOUSE it was almost 11 o’clock. It was right by the HARBOR where the VESSEL came up to the PORT, ready to load everyone onto the ship. We stepped off the DECK onto the BOW. As we passed a bunch of people, I stepped over to the edge of the boat and looked down. There was TAR all on the side of the ship, and FISH swimming beneath me. My father led us to a room where we would be staying. He pushed aside the PLANK that was blocking the door. Then he opened the door and the family walked in and we all layed down and rested on our BUNKS.

~~~~Once there was a girl named Sarafina who was waiting at the port in Italy with her friends Lordasin and Annabel. They were waiting for Sarafina’s grandpa to arrive with the vessel. They were going to go looking for different types of fish and sharks. Out on the sea, they saw another vessel with pirates on it. The sail cloth on their ship was green and black with a white skull in the middle. The lieutenant was yelling at every body on the ship and making them clean the planks and the cargo. The privateer was also yelling and the other pirates aboard. Sarafina was afraid that the pirates would start shooting cannons at them; but Lordasin held her hand and told her that it would be all right. An hour later, they sailed on home and ate fish and shark for dinner. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

**Continuation from previous post**
As my crew piled onto our VESSEL, it began to rain heavily. The storm I’d heard about over the radio was rolling in. “Hope we can make it to PORT,’” my best friend Jack said. My CREW and I were traveling from Spain to the United States, a quit long journey. As we pulled out of HARBOR, I looked back at the land we were leaving. I wondered to myself if we’d ever see it again.
The storm was worse than I had anticipated. Days passed and still the storm prevailed. On the twelfth day, we began to run out of food. To save my crew some energy, I made them take turns sleeping in their BUNKS, instead of everyone on the MAIN DECK, working at once. And to save food, everyone was only allowed to eat once a day, instead of two, and they were only allowed to eat two pieces of bread, instead of the original four. I once caught one of my youngest crew members eating more than his share, and to be fair to the rest of the crew, I had to make him walk the PLANK. After he jumped into the dark, murky water, I saw some strangely large SHARKS who slowly circled the punished crew member, then suddenly they pulled him under. We never saw him again.
After the shark incident, I started to notice other weird things about where we were sailing. Strange bubbles surfaced occasionally, and the water was getting shallower. About half way to the United States, I saw some strangely shaped CORAL. Since the water was getting very shallow, I had no problem seeing the blood red colored, PIRATE skull coral. I considered changing courses, but I didn’t want to waste any more time getting to the U.S. so I demanded that we precede on.
It was very late at night. We were very close to the United States, but things were getting even stranger. All of the sudden I heard a loud thump, and I ran to the BOW to see what all the fuss was about. As I approached the bow, I was amazed at what I saw…

My name is John Jackson, and I work at a PORT on the east coast of Florida. But what people really don’t know about me, is that I am actually an undercover PIRATE! Every weekend me and my crew get some CARGO, get a ship, and go to the HARBOR. What we mainly do is catch FISH and SHARKS. But, it are also very exciting parts to being a pirate, too. Like for example, when the ship is moving, I can stand on the BOW (or heck, even sometimes on the DECK if I’m lucky!) and see dolphins swimming right along with us! Its amazing! Another part of being on sea I always look foward to, is when we get to sleep in the BUNKS. The bunks are under the MAINDECK and are kind of like..beds. Its all just very cool.

Ok Mr. Moshe… I made my poem and or story… And I just have to say… It’s not the best. But it’s got 10 words =D
There once was a PIRATE named Sabrina doodle, who ate only FISH, CORAL, and ramen noodles.
This captain was a PRIVATEER; she bought her ship from her pal Reiner. =]
Her crew was always past out drunk, you’d find them nowhere but their BUNK.
One crazy night while they were in a bar, Captain Sabrina filled the rum bottles with TAR.
They were disgusted by what they drank; they forced the captain to walk the PLANK!
Underneath her were killer SHARKS, they acted as though they were Joseph Starks. (?)
After she jumped, the crew dumped all the CARGO. They decided to quit and move to Fargo.
Once they got into the HARBOR, they said hello to the local barber.

On a dark foggy night the LIUTENANT called his PRIVATEERS to get over to the ship.One hour later the crew members arrived at the HARBOR.When they got there the captian said that they were going on a over night FISHING trip.They walked up on the MAIN DECK and wondered why they were asked to come.After they sat around and talked they each went to their BUNK to rest.They were interupted in the middle of the night due to one of the men going through the CARGO.They all ran down to the captian to ask what they were really going to catch.The captian said that they were hunting SHARKS.About five thirty in the morning they were all ready to catch some sharks.So two of the crew went to the BOW of the ship and got all straped in the special seats.The other members went to the front and one was on the PLANK.So by nine o’clock a.m. they arrived back at the harbor and unloaded the sharks that they caught.They all had a wonderful time ans said “we should do these more often.”
It had been two years since corporal Johnson join the navy. The sailors in his battalion are going to leave the PORT by tomorrow. The LIEUTENANT of Echo Company said the destination is somewhere beyond the CORAL reef of Australia. Us sailors travel around the world. Me and Johnson sometimes view ourself as.. PIRATES. We did see SHARKS alot and we are fully armed. But we dont smell like them pirates. And the only treasures we’re looking for are honor, courage and experience. We are always ready tol eave the WHARFS and do our job. Johnson likes to hang out at the the STERN, he enjoy seeing the waves on the back, he is easily amused. I like to hang at MAIN DECK, feeling the breeze blow through my hair and my white naval uniform. I applied for the SEALs so i can swim like FISHes, swim around stealthly and to complete one of the most elite missions. I did’nt make it, so i continued to be a sailor for a few more years. I joined the USN earlier than Johnson three years.
I am Sgt. Dixon. Our battalion will be on a fight tomorrow. The objective is to secure a CARGO ship. The ship might be hostile. I hope we won’t have a high number of casualties.
It’s the break of dawn were just comming out of our BUNKS. Me and my crew are leaving the HARBOR. I didn’t know that when I said'” it’s going to be an exciting”. It really was going to be.
We make it out to sea. As were going my ship gets stuck on CORAL. The co captain says” If we dump some CARGO the boat will float up and we’ll get off the coral. In all the camotion going on,on the BOW we didn’t see the PIRATE climb aboard. He starts fighting my men but we out number him. We capture him and draged him into the GAURDHOUSE.
Later on we decide to make him walk the PLANK. We get some FISH and cut them up. We dump it into the water to attract SHARKS. Once they’re there we put him on the plank, and make him walk off. He gets dragged under and we don’t see him again, then we go eat dinner
These are my 10 words:privateer, lieutenant,fish,sharks,harbor,plank,treasure,pirate,ship, and tar.
There once was a PIRATE named Captain Ooglemyer. Captain Ooglemyer owned an enormous PRIVATEER, hoping to find TREASURE across the ocean on an island no one has dared to arrive and if were to doubt his crew, he would walk the plank. He believed that him and his crew would be able to handle any horrifing so-called myths and creatures that they would approach on the island and that there was definetely treasure to found. The SHIP swiflty sailed away from the HARBOR, and Captain Ooglemyer and his crew were all anxious for there adventurous journey to come to find the lost treasure on Jooble Island.
The LIEUTENANT and the captian both agreed that anyone who knows that they will punk out should leave now or they will be forced to walk the PLANK and be eaten up by the FISHES and the SHARKS in the treacherous ocean that sways fiercly below them. Hesitantly, they all remain on the ship and continued their duties. Through rain storms and sailing troubles, they finally reached the mysterious Jooble Island. The captain was the first to step foot and one by one they all cautiously came on land. Ahead was a forest, so they geussed that the treasure must be buried somewhere in there. But as they were running toward the gloomy forest Captain Ooglemyer tripped over a hump that was sticking up from the sand.”What in the world was that?!” he questioned with anger.”Well dont just stare at it, Dig it up!” the lieutenant ordered. They quickly got on their knees and started to dig but to find a big gigantic block of TAR. Engraved on it said ‘Fool’… and the captian was so embarrased that he led a journey for treasure that ended up being tar.”So theres no treasure?” one of the crew member asked in disappiontment.”I’m afraid not lad” said Captin Ooglemyer.”So your telling us that, our pain, suffering, and axiousness was no need?” said another crew member.”Stop your whining, we’ll just try another, I have heard of many other myths of lost treasures and we should__..” and when that was said by the captain, everyone took the him and including the lieutenant off to ship so they both can be thrown over water to be eaten by the fishes and the sharks.
THE END
Hi guys
Hoping that the CLERGYMAN’S end wouldn’t be as dreadful as Sir Shoplee’s, he decided to take a run for it and ride as CARGI in the local VESSEL to the colonies to get away from his execution at the GALLOWS. Once in the ship, a sailor requested a few SHILLINGS from him but seeing as he didn’t carry any on him he had to ride on the QUARTERDECK near the view of nearest SCAFFOLD where 2 men were being hanged. The GANGWAY was closing when the captain standing on the MAIN DECK called out the Clergyman’s name. The Clergyman wasn’t sure whether to go or stay, scared that turning himself in would result in an automatic execution. He looked through the WINDOWPANE to see if the Captain was still standing on the Main Deck, however he was gone and it seemed as if the searchers that were looking for him had given up or gone elsewhere to search. He took one last look towards the scaffold anything was better than dying and he told himself that even though he had committed treason he wanted his life to be given one last shot in the new land, the colonies.
I was at the beach hunting for FISH I then found a piece of CORAL that washed up in the shore. I picked it up & ran to the HARBOR to show my uncle what I had found, on my way there I almost slip on some TAR.Fortunately, I didn’t hurt myself, so when I got there my uncle was slicing open a SHARK. He was pulling out it’s insides slowly while I showed him the piece of coral. My uncle was so impressed that he decided to go show his friend Jason what I had found. He went to go look for him the CROW’S NEST of one of the nearby ships, but he was nowhere to be find. Finally, he found him on a Ship unloading CARGO off the DECK. When he showed it to Jason he was fascinated & said that it would be worth a lot of money. We quickly got off the VESSEL & rushed straight to a nearby PRIVATEER which were on of the black market owners were located. When we got there the man agreed that the piece of coral was valuable & payed us a huge amount of money for it. We gladly accepted the offer & went straight to the market to spend it.
The 10 words that I chose to write about were:pirate, Lieutenant, deck,cargo,fish,sharks,vessel,port,sailcloth, and guardhouse.Here is my story…
Once upon a time there was a pirate. He was on an adventure to find a treasure. The Lieutenant was up on the deck. The men workers were packing away the cargo. The fish and sharks lingered in the water like they had nothing to do. The vessel pulled into the port. While the Lieutenant was pulling down the sailcloth, the treasure was found. The guard from up in the guardhouse, saw that the founder of the gold was non other than the pirate himself. The Lieutenant arrested him and he kept all the treasure for himself.
Dear King,
This has been a long and treacherous voyage . All the food in our CARGO has been aten. All we eat now is FISH and sometimes even SHARKS. We have had encounters with PIRATES ,but we had won the battles . We have made our prisoner walk the PLANK. During to these circumstances we have had to make a GUARD HOUSE on our VESSAL to prevent pirates from sneeking up on us. Lots of our men have been lost to sickness and battle. We have lots of our men dying in their BUNKS and on the MAIN DECK. We Might not survive this Journey or might have to return home.
Sincerly,
Lieutenant John
LIEUTNENANT JJ never liked to talking to people. He just sat near the BOW and eats FISH guts. There was a HARBOR on the ship thats where he hides his special golden CORAL that he found washed up on the shore way back when he was a violent, sweaty PIRATE. When he gets to America he will make a fortune. Until one day these pirates he used to work for came on the ship and threw on some TAR. Lieutenant JJ out-witted them and made the walk the PLANK into the ocean with the hammerhead SHARKS. He got to America went on the CARGO and made a fortune with the rare golden coral.
It was a chilly night, i could tell by the way the wind blew against the sailcloth, which was hung high enough i could see it from my current location, sitting up against my bunk.As i looked out the window i saw various types of fish and sharks swimming around the coral. The boat was at wharf, getting ready to be loaded up with more cargo. I sighed in irritatioin wanting to leave the boat but i was under the strict orders of the privateer and lieutenant not to leave the room i was in. Unforntuetly that was agony to me, being boxed up like i was.Suddenly I heard loud thumping and what seemed like footsteps tromping on the deck. I heard several “ARGS” and i thought for sure there were pirates on the ship. As i looked out the window again at the men moving the cargo in i watched the pirates sneek up upon them and slit thier throats roughly, the men bleeding to death without a clue as to what had happened. The pirates threw thier bodies into the ocean and began to walk to take control of everyoen else on the ship. Other members of the ship screamed in horror watching thier loved ones float away in a ocean of blood. I knew i had to get away if i wanted to live. I crawled out of the window and jumped in to the water swimming to the beach, hoping that the pirates wouldn’t see me. Luckily they didn’t but instead they lit the ship on fire. People jumped out of the windows and plank trying to escape. Unfortunetly not many survived. Luckily i got out of the ship in time And no one i really cared about died. I got free also. so it wasn’t so bad. Besides its not everyday you come across pirates who are phyro maniacs. i thought to my self as i saw the pirates jumping through the fire and tryig to lit each other on fire.
oops i accidentally pressed enter
LIEUTNENANT JJ never liked to talking to people. He just sat near the BOW
LIEUTENANT Gregory Daniels sat in the GUARDHOUSE and observed the ocean before him.A serene sense of peace filled the air, but there was one problem; it was a little too peaceful. A monday morning at the PORT of Miami was never this quiet. Usually ships are coming in all through the day, loading and unloading boxes of CARGO. Then, out of nowhere, he sees a ship pulling into the HARBOR. With binoculars to his eyes, the lieutenant looked out at the ship. On the DECK, stood four muscular looking men.’Oh NO!’ thought lieutenant Gregory. He knew exactly who those men were. There were wanted posters all over Miami , offering a $40,000 reward if they were captured. You See, these men where known for destroying CORAL reefs to find exotic FISH and capturing SHARKS and whales to cut off the fins and sell them. The U.S coast guard had come close to captuing them many times, but the men were always one step ahead. If the men found that a tip was given to the authorities, they would hunt down the person who gave the tip. It is said that once the men found the person, they would make them “walk the PLANK.” This basically ment that the people would disappear without a clue given about where they have gone. Not only were the men charged with illegal fishing, but where also up for kidnapping and potiential murder. This was a big case for the police.
Lieutenant Gregory sent an S.O.S to the coast guard, called the police department, and told the Marine Corp(who were guarding the port) to stand there grounds and get ready for some action. The men had slipped. They had left themselves vulnerable to the authorities just by being in the vicinity of the port of Miami.The lieutenant could hardly contain his excitement. From the guard house he saw the orange and white motor boats of the coast guards speed ahead. The men on the boat were startled. They could not run or hide because they were surrounded. The men put their hands up as if to surrender. The police quickly climbed on the ship and had the men in handcuffs so quickly that they looked totally confused. ‘Finally,’ thought Lieutenant Gregory ‘ Justice Prevails!’
~~~*** THE END ***~~~
Once upon a time there was a PRIVATEER by the name of Cashmere and a PIRATE by the name of Caarrrrrrr-men. They were the best of friends, always catching CORAL FISH down by the HARBOR, swimming in the deep blue sea in search for TREASURE, and at least once a month, they would take a trip to go visit their friend Captain Mike who lived in FARGO, which was about 20 miles from where they lived, BUNK Island. Well, one day as Cashemere and Carrrrr-men were in Fargo, they noticed a barrel of TAR resting on the rickety PLANK ahead of them. They had absolutely no idea of why it was sitting there but from what they could see it was collecting sand and leaving a scent in the air that was unpleasant to them but majorly attracting to the fish in the ocean. After watching the fish go bizurrke over the tar for a while, they decided to dump the barrel into the water, so that the fish could calm down and have what they wanted all this time. But after doing so, they noticed that the fish were turning very malicious and were visiously knawing the barrel in every direction. They immediately became frightned and didn’t know what to do, so they ran into their friend Captain Mike’s shack and told him about what was going on. When Captain Mike heard the news, he instanly became joyful and ran outside to see what was going on. After veiwing the amusing scene (to him at least), he sed a spell that made the fish calm down and go back to normal and looked at his frightned friends. He then told them what the barrel of tar did to the fish and warned them not to ever do it again, but in the curious minds of Cashemere and Carrrrr-men, they wondered what was in the tar that made them go sooo crazy. To be continued… THE END!!!
One day, about 200 years to this date, Captain Sparrow and his crew set sail to Port Royal from Cairo, Egypt. About three days into their journey, The were attacked by pirates . As he saw the ship approaching, Captain Sparrow lined up his crew on the main deck and told them to load the cannons and guns and to prepare for a vicious fight. As the crew were preparing, Captain Jack was bringing the vessel to a halt. There were several crew members on the lower deck and the main deck ready and waiting to fire. Everyone was waiting patiently for the pirates to attack. After two minutes, the pirates threw the first punch and fired a cannon. Captain sparrows crew quickly returned fire with a much stronger blow than the one made on them. The crew on the main deck, the ones hiding in the cargo bay, and the lone soldier hiding in the crow’s nest were acting as snipers and shooting the other crew aboard the other ship, but it never went well. The first to go were the men closest to the bow . Next were the people in the cargo bay. Before you knew it, the pirates had taken over the ship and took the survivors as prisoners including the captain to their ship. The prisoners were taken below deck where the bunks were and kept there for about twenty when on of the pirates called them to the upper deck. Captain Sparrow was the first ordered to walk the plank . Since he loved his abandoned ship more than his crew he willingly jumped off the plank into shark -infested waters to be reunited with his ship, but the pirates fired on him when they saw that he was swimming towards his ship and he died. The crew members were slaves of the pirates for the rest of their lives.
_________________________________________________________
* I didn’t come up with the idea that Captain Sparrow got shot. So please don’t say I’m a pessimist.

“BOOM!” As our ship reached the harbor and it accidentaly crashed into the sand, I fell out of the top bunk in my cabinet. “AHOY MATEY! WE’VE REACHED LAND !” shouted Crabs from the crow’s nest. “EYY LAD! WATCH OUT!” shoted crabs again as the spars supporting the vessels came down on top of the main deck. I jumped out of the ship on what seemed to be a coral reef. It was such an excuisite site. Multicolored fish swam their way between my toes giving me tingling senses throughout my body. As a pirate the ship was my home and now i watched it sink. The sailcloth now left a blanket in the water as it sunk also.
For young 18 year old Jeff, the Navy was everything, especially since he loved to sail. Ever since he was a little boy, Jeff owned a small sailboat which had two decks. His favorite deck was the main deck. From there he could have the best view of the ocean. Sometimes he even saw sharks swimming near the coast if the weather was right. He had already applied in the Navy for when he finished school. As he hoped, he got enlisted. Now all he had to do was to get his things ready for his training aboard a vessel. Three days later he headed to the port to commence his training. When he saw his assigned vessel, Jeff could feel shivers going down his back from thinking what he would be expected to do. He then walked up the ramp and headed toward the bunk to leave all his stuff. On his way there he noticed how the some planks were sticking out of the deck. Also he saw how the spars were in bad condition. When he finally entered the bunk, Jeff saw many other men organizing their stuff in their assigned spaces. In the following months, Jeff and all the other enlisted men were trained under the harshest conditions, in rain or shine, with barely any time to sleep. All of them learned how to sail, clean, and manage a full vessel in fast efficient ways. To make things worse, any time one of them didn’t do their duty, everyone went to the dirtiest part of the vessel: the cargo room. Somehow all the cargo got heavy dust within a matter of days, and everyone was expected to leave it as if it had just arrived there. This usually lasted around 14 hours, since the dust in the cargo was difficult to clean and the room was the biggest on the vessel. Sometimes Jeff wondered way he had signed up and got homesick. Later on he managed to deal with his frustration and got the courage to do his best. Six months passed by and their grueling training would come to an end. Finally they reached the port; everyone got their things packed up. Just as each of them left in uniform ready to take a break before officially being in the Navy, Jeff was called in to talk with the captain. He was then told by the captain himself that of all the people that were enlisted none of them had shown as much responsibility and courage as he did. Then Jeff was promoted to the rank of lieutenant. Now Jeff went back home on his break. Yet he was even more excited to start off his dream.
Sarafina you spelled your name wrong(Saraina)
There was once a crew of many people.Their names were brittney,olivia,anika,judline,kerina,whitney,and sarafina.They were under the control of a crazy lieutenant called Mr.Moshe’.One day while parking the vessel in the wharf to unload cargo a gang of pirates rammed into the vessel.As the shocked crew looked in astonishment they all noticed the scariest face in the world which belonged to captain lordisan,and his ugly crew members.Then whitney and olivia yell out “man dey all ways hatin on us cause we look waaaaaaay better then them,” as the crazy lieutenant Mr. Moshe’ ran to his bunk to get his shotgun the crew begin to fight the pirates.Then sarafina yells out “brittney why can’t you keep your stalkers under control?” right then she punches one of the bandits in the face.Brittney threatens to hang sarafina at the gallows or have her sleeping with the fish and sharks.At that moment the crazy lieutenant Mr. Moshe’ comes out shooting his gun and missing everything and shoots a sailcloth.Tired of this outrageous mess the crazy crew members of Mr. Moshe’ show those no good pirates whose boss and sends them running home to their mommys.

When my family and I arrived to the GUARDHOUSE it was almost 11 o’clock. It was right by the HARBOR where the VESSEL came up to the PORT, ready to load everyone onto the ship. We stepped off the DECK onto the BOW. As we passed a bunch of people, I stepped over to the edge of the boat and looked down. There was TAR all on the side of the ship, and FISH swimming beneath me. My father led us to a room where we would be staying. He pushed aside the PLANK that was blocking the door. Then he opened the door and the family walked in and we all layed down and rested on our BUNKS.

~~~~Once there was a girl named Sarafina who was waiting at the port in Italy with her friends Lordasin and Annabel. They were waiting for Sarafina’s grandpa to arrive with the vessel. They were going to go looking for different types of fish and sharks. Out on the sea, they saw another vessel with pirates on it. The sail cloth on their ship was green and black with a white skull in the middle. The lieutenant was yelling at every body on the ship and making them clean the planks and the cargo. The privateer was also yelling and the other pirates aboard. Sarafina was afraid that the pirates would start shooting cannons at them; but Lordasin held her hand and told her that it would be all right. An hour later, they sailed on home and ate fish and shark for dinner. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
**Continuation from previous post**
As my crew piled onto our VESSEL, it began to rain heavily. The storm I’d heard about over the radio was rolling in. “Hope we can make it to PORT,’” my best friend Jack said. My CREW and I were traveling from Spain to the United States, a quit long journey. As we pulled out of HARBOR, I looked back at the land we were leaving. I wondered to myself if we’d ever see it again.
The storm was worse than I had anticipated. Days passed and still the storm prevailed. On the twelfth day, we began to run out of food. To save my crew some energy, I made them take turns sleeping in their BUNKS, instead of everyone on the MAIN DECK, working at once. And to save food, everyone was only allowed to eat once a day, instead of two, and they were only allowed to eat two pieces of bread, instead of the original four. I once caught one of my youngest crew members eating more than his share, and to be fair to the rest of the crew, I had to make him walk the PLANK. After he jumped into the dark, murky water, I saw some strangely large SHARKS who slowly circled the punished crew member, then suddenly they pulled him under. We never saw him again.
After the shark incident, I started to notice other weird things about where we were sailing. Strange bubbles surfaced occasionally, and the water was getting shallower. About half way to the United States, I saw some strangely shaped CORAL. Since the water was getting very shallow, I had no problem seeing the blood red colored, PIRATE skull coral. I considered changing courses, but I didn’t want to waste any more time getting to the U.S. so I demanded that we precede on.
It was very late at night. We were very close to the United States, but things were getting even stranger. All of the sudden I heard a loud thump, and I ran to the BOW to see what all the fuss was about. As I approached the bow, I was amazed at what I saw…

My name is John Jackson, and I work at a PORT on the east coast of Florida. But what people really don’t know about me, is that I am actually an undercover PIRATE! Every weekend me and my crew get some CARGO, get a ship, and go to the HARBOR. What we mainly do is catch FISH and SHARKS. But, it are also very exciting parts to being a pirate, too. Like for example, when the ship is moving, I can stand on the BOW (or heck, even sometimes on the DECK if I’m lucky!) and see dolphins swimming right along with us! Its amazing! Another part of being on sea I always look foward to, is when we get to sleep in the BUNKS. The bunks are under the MAINDECK and are kind of like..beds. Its all just very cool.
Ok Mr. Moshe… I made my poem and or story… And I just have to say… It’s not the best. But it’s got 10 words =D
There once was a PIRATE named Sabrina doodle, who ate only FISH, CORAL, and ramen noodles.
This captain was a PRIVATEER; she bought her ship from her pal Reiner. =]
Her crew was always past out drunk, you’d find them nowhere but their BUNK.
One crazy night while they were in a bar, Captain Sabrina filled the rum bottles with TAR.
They were disgusted by what they drank; they forced the captain to walk the PLANK!
Underneath her were killer SHARKS, they acted as though they were Joseph Starks. (?)
After she jumped, the crew dumped all the CARGO. They decided to quit and move to Fargo.
Once they got into the HARBOR, they said hello to the local barber.
=D
