<strong>Joseph &amp; Mari</strong><br/><br/>Harden wasn’t sure how much he should tell the girl before they were well and truly off the ship. On the other hand, it wouldn’t matter much anyway. Whatever was going to happen was to happen soon. Within the hour they would either have abandoned ship, or they would be overwhelmed by the mutinous crew, making the young women’s bodies forfeit.<strong>“We’re going to abandon ship. The majority of the crew is no longer accepting our orders. MacHeath is trying to find a few men he can trust, and we’ll try to smuggle you off the ship. After that, I guess we’ll need to manage to find a way to survive. We haven’t really planned that far ahead. But if we don’t get you off the ship soon, it’ll be too late.”</strong>After he had finished filling his own bag, he took Mari by the hand again and lead her to the bow of the ship. He pointed at a cabinet on the wall.<strong>“You should find some clothing in there. It’ll be too big for you, but it’s better than nothing.”</strong>Whilst the girl occupied herself with getting a bit more dressed, Harden started to ready the equipment and the boat they would be using for their escape.
