Jason growled about Sashi leaping overboard, but he had to do something. He locked the wheel in the direction of the shoals and bolted for the guns. The deck guns were not as large as the standard cannons aboard the ship, but they were effective. He loaded one with black powder and shot which were each about the size of a grape. He struck the flint of the gun and fired off the small cloud of shot, aiming right at the Kraken's head. With other crew firing the cannons and their muskets at the beast, Jason looked towards the shoals, hoping to go faster. The guns continued their roaring. Jason had made sure that the gun was outfitted with the best of weaponry, all lifted from other ships. From blockade runners to Spanish galleons, no ship's guns were safe from the ferret's sticky paws.
