Merchant of Venice can do task: The short story of the shipwrecked ships


We had been sailing for a few weeks but it seems like we are close to Venice, soon we will get back home and Antonio will pay us for our job. I've always enjoyed working for Antonio he is being a bit risky right now though with sending almost all of his money out to sea lets hope nothing happens to him. "Captain Pirates ahead!" Pirates had been sighted and they were quickly rowing towards the group of 3 ships. "All men hands on deck! WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!" The pirates quickly boarded the front ship and quickly cut down the unprepared sailors not many of us have been trained for a situation like this! The pirates set the first boat on fire and quickly sunk, the pirates had already managed to board the second boat. They made holes in all of the boats and it to began to sink water going into the boat through the holes, the ship being consumed by water. We were all that was left I would not give up so easily adrenaline pumping through my veins.

We had several archers onboard and they began firing at the invading pirates several of them fell down dead, the number of pirates was not as big as first believed it was about 2 dozen pirates. The archers continued to fire at the pirates attempting to board with several small wooden bridges and they were actually keeping them back the pirates could only use 2 wooden bridges at this point and warriors were defending against any pirates that managed to pass. The wooden bridges fell into the water and the pirates began fleeing we started to celebrate until we smelt something..... fire. The pirates had set fire to the bottom of the boat and managed to shoot arrows covered in a fire at the sails. They managed to put it out but now they were stuck slowly sinking. This was the end for them they may have won one battle but they lost this one.
