📝 Day № 47: May 27, 1823.

⏳19:54

The singing kept us awake until the morning 😵‍💫. In the morning everyone wanted to unload a clip or more than one 🤬 at the creatures. By some miracle we restrained ourselves 🤨. But it was getting harder and harder by the minute 😏. Thankfully they finally shut up and got out of sight 😮‍💨. I guess even these critters need a rest 🙃…

• Let me on deck 🗣! I felt something 😼. - Bioz 🧔🏻‍♂️ said as he suddenly jumped up from the hammock and headed outside 👆🏻. Stan 👨🏻 tried to stop him, but this time he didn't seem as crazy as before 👌🏻.

• Give it to me! Hurry up 🔭! And lower the sails 👇🏻! - Bioz 🧔🏻‍♂️ stared into the water to starboard 👁.

• I'm not giving you the gun! Don't even ask 🙅🏻‍♂️!

• What gun! I need a hook and a long rope. And slow down ✋🏻!

We quickly found what he asked for, but we were still on our guard 🤨. There's no telling what he might do after that crazy night 😵‍💫 Bioz 🧔🏻‍♂️ tied the rope to the hook and threw it overboard 🌊. Once... Pulling it out... Then a second time... Several more unsuccessful attempts followed 💁🏻‍♂️.

• Got him! Help! Pull it up 💪🏻!

Indeed. The hook was caught on something 🤔. We wrapped our arms around the rope and dragged it towards us 🤛🏻. Something big and iron was on the other end. At first we couldn't move it 😮‍💨, but after a few tries we managed to lift the weight 😬. The rope jerked away from the side ⛵️ and we finally saw what was at the other end 😮.

The guys' eyes widened in surprise 😳. A cage the size of a large barrel 🛢 was dragged onto the deck. Inside of which a baby mermaid was sitting, barely alive 🧜‍♂️. It seemed scared to look at us, it looked completely exhausted 😯. And couldn't even move.

• What are they doing 🤨?

• looks like some kind of torture 😲. Is the cage attached to the ship? From below 👇🏻?

• Yes! Bring it something to eat 🍽. - Bioz 🧔🏻‍♂️ opened the cage and took out the tortured creature from there 🧜‍♂️.

• I wonder if it can talk 🗣? - Asked Keith 🤵🏻, looking at the strange body 🧜‍♂️.

• Could 😤. But it doesn't have the strength right now. Let it rest 🥱. - The seer replied dryly 🧔🏻‍♂️.

It greedily ate fruit 🥭 and passed out 😴. We won't learn anything from it today 😬. The sun was coming down behind the sky 🌞. Bringing the imminent arrival of darkness 🌚. Our enemies were already getting ready 😡… They couldn't wait to give us another crazy night 😱!!!
