Devil And The Deep (The Deep Six) - Plot & Excerpts
Perched in additional improvised lookouts on opposite sides of the island, two more of his crew, the two with the best eyesight, helped him watch for passing ships. It was hot, monotonous work. But it was imperative. With the remainder of the sailors working on the reef and down in the sea at the wreck site—at least those who were still healthy enough to work—it was left to the three of them to ensure no pirates sailed around the corner and stumbled upon the others’ efforts. Lowering his spyglass, Bartolome blinked, giving his tired eyes a moment’s respite. Then he raised the glass and continued his vigil. The wind was a bare whisper, leaving the ocean around the island glassy. Nothing disturbed the surface except a pod of dolphins that frolicked beyond the reef. The sun was high. The tide was out. A number of large grouper had swum into the lagoon the evening before, making them easy to catch. He and his men had feasted and still had full bellies today.
