Zhang Heng returned to the captain’s room on the Jackdaw and wiped the rain with his towel on the head, while Annie also changed her clothes.

Zhang Heng poured a glass of rum for the red-haired girl to warm up the latter, and then he drank it himself. This kind of wine is standard for sailors, but the taste is not very good, although it is sugar cane The juice is brewed, but it is bitter, and it is not as good as wine and brandy, but it is cheaper and has a longer shelf life than fresh water.

Generally, the bottled water on the ship will become difficult to drink after one month, and there will be a variety of plankton in it, but the rum can be kept for a year or two, which is a must-have item on the ship.

With a drink, Zhang Heng’s stomach immediately warmed up, and then there was a knock on the door outside the door.

Billy walked in with a somewhat cramped youngster.

“This is Mr. Vincent,” the helmsman made a brief introduction. “I have read the note you gave me to the crew on the boat. We have good luck. Mr. Vincent by chance. Text.”

Zhang Heng also recognized the other party. He was the boat doctor who got on board this time. He was recruited by Billy himself, but he seemed to like botany more. He was hijacked by a group of pirates on the way to the boat and was forced to become the other party. One year later, the group of pirates disbanded and joined another pirate group. Vincent regained his freedom, but he had to stay on the island because he was afraid that his pirate experience would be overturned.

He lived next to Billy and usually made money by keeping accounts for taverns and other places. After Billy’s persuasion, he finally decided to go out to sea with the Jackdaw again.

“This is a cargo list, but it is written in Dutch, and records the cargo carried by each ship on each voyage. They are quite common things, such as cotton, wool, or wood and so on.” Young The ship doctor for the first time talked to the captain, he was a little nervous, worried that Zhang Heng did n’t believe him and explained, “My father is a Scot, but my mother is a Dutch. I lived in the Netherlands for a while when I was a kid, so Can speak some Dutch.

“What about these?” Zhang Heng gave Vincent two other notes.

Annie was originally about to leave, but she also stopped at this time. She was very curious about the strangely missing crew members on board and wanted to know what happened to them.

The young boat doctor took the notes, opened one of them, read two pages and was a little uncertain, “This should be … a collection of poems.”

“Collection of poems?”

“Yeah, and it’s a love poem.” Vincent turned a few more pages. “The vast majority were written for a woman named Betty, but the level is not very good. I still saw someone describe me as a storm for the first time. Lover’s, and most of the descriptions are … very explicit. “

The young boat doctor blushed when he finished.

“Can you read one for us?”

“Oh, okay … okay, no problem.” Vincent glanced at Annie on the side. The red-haired girl didn’t respond at all.

The young boat doctor turned over and found one that looked good, cleared his throat, “Betty my lover, I praise you, I adore you, you are the storm, my master, your chest is like the fruit that bends the branches. You Yeah, uh, your legs are like a valley with honey flowing … “When reading this, Vincent’s forehead also oozed with sweat. He couldn’t help loosening his collar and raised his head to ask Zhang Heng, “Am I going to read on?”

“Now that you have read this …”

“Okay,” the young boat doctor touched some hot ears, and continued, “You whispered me with my body around me to make me fly. I love you so much that you are better than yourself. I ’m willing to be with you all my life … I ’m gone. “Vincent said.” If you like Dutch poetry, I can find much better than this. “

After the young doctor finished talking, he found that all three people in the house were looking at himself, so he picked up the third note obediently, and after a while, “This one looks like a record of their supply in various ports. There are port names, dates, and supplies statistics. “

“So there is no captain’s log inside?”

“I don’t think I have seen anything similar.” Vincent shook his head.

“Did you forget to take it?” Annie asked.

“It’s unlikely. In that room, I checked all the books that fell on the ground. Except for these three books, I didn’t write them by hand. They were all printed materials.”

Zhang Heng asked the young boat doctor again, “Is the writing of these three notes the same?”

“There are 2 similar, the list of goods and the supply record, the love poem is not the same.” Vincent flipped through again, and then affirmed, “Yes, these 3 notes should be from 2 people.”

Billy said, “The first two are generally the job of the bookkeeper. Unfortunately, we can’t find the captain’s log. It is difficult to know what happened on that ship.”

His tone barely fell and Vincent suddenly said, “Wait, it’s a bit weird here.”

The young boat doctor still had the last supply record in his hand, and there was a look of doubt on his face, “I know these 2 ports, they are quite far away. It took me a month when I was on the boat with the big brother. How could they be less than ten or five days apart from the time of their second replenishment? This speed should exceed 2 knots. Was there such a fast cargo ship in that era? “

“In the state of the ship, sailing at full speed should almost be achievable.” Billy said, “but in reality this is simply impossible to achieve, and the wind force by chance stays at the same level for a period of ten or five days. , It will not break the mast and just provide the maximum speed required for sailing. The probability of this happening is almost the same as that of 5 Gold Coin by chance falling in front of you. “

“But it seems that the captain of that ship didn’t think so.”

Vincent pointed to the line above and recorded, “They only supplemented the freshwater and food needed for the voyage in the first port for about ten or six days, which was only a day and a half away from the last voyage.”

“Hah, no wonder they finally had an accident.”

“But when we got on board, their supplies were still abundant. The ship was obviously not caused by the captain’s arrogance.” Zhang Heng said, and then compared to Billy, “I remember there is a more complete chart on the boat. Find it out and let Vincent see if he can mark the port where it stopped along the way, calculate its average speed, so that we know whether his previous sailing time was unexpected. “
