Then Mr Gibson said. 'What ye calls ye self boy.' 'My name is Kevin sir.' 'That be another thing what kind of name be Kevin. I’m sure I don’t know. Right then Kevin just before we goes into battle you takes your bucket and fills it from yonder barrel, but not until you hears the Captain says get the ship ready Mr Gibson, then you sees lad the water will still be cool.'
Kevin turned his bucket upside down and sat on it then he started looking through one of the holes in the gunwales that run around the ship.
He was thinking of his history lessons and then he remembered that the battle of Santa Cruz was where Lord Nelson lost his right arm.
Kevin noticed that he was shaking all over, he tried not to think of the battle then without warning he started thinking about the old Gypsy man and he was lost in the past.
About two hours later a sailor up in the riggings shouted. 'Sail ahoy.' 'The first mate shouted. 'Where’s about.' 'The starboard bow mate.'
Kevin stood up and looked ahead he could just make out the white sails of a ship.
