It was turning out to be a bad night for the Seabass. Captain Johnson looked out at the stormy ocean that hit his ship repeatedly with waves, accompanied by howling winds and a symphony of thunder and lightning that reminded him how small he was.it seemed that all the elements were conspiring to drag him and his men down to the depths.

He grabbed the railings as a huge wave hit the starboard side of the ship. he straighted himself, only to grab the railings again as another wave hit this time on the port side. he stood back up and greeted his first mate Smith. 'What news?'. 'Captain we lost two men to the seas and we have no idea where we're going. If this keeps up we wont last the night!' cried Smith in alarm. 'Tell the men to prepare to enter the lifeboats and fetch Anya to me quickly' said Johnson.

He battled with the rudder as the ship was caught in a current and fought to keep the ship from capsizing into the waves. 'We cant hold out much longer, we gotta find land soon' he murmured under his breath. As the wind lashed out at him like serpents, he thought he caught a faint flash off his starboard side. Squinting into the distance, he could just barely make out a beam of light cutting across the stormy clouds and rain. 'There! That's a lighthouse off starboard side! Keep her steady men we're almost there!' he shouted to the remaining crew members still on deck. He was hopeful that they could make it to the lighthouse.'Dump whatever we do not need! Dump the gunpowder and the cannons! Hurry!' he ordered the remainder of the crew.

'Father what i must do?' Anya appeared,soaked in the deluge pouring from the heavens. ' My dear daughter if we can make it to the lighthouse yonder we will survive,but you must prepare the men and take as much food and blankets as you can and load them into the boats. Smith here will help you,then stay in the boat till we are safe.I already have lost two of my men, i will not lose you!' Johnson cried out.
'But Father, let me help you steer! surely you will need an extra pair of eyes tonight' cried out Anya over the sound of the crashing waves. 'No! I forbid it! You will obey my command!' shouted Johnson.

Just then a massive wave hit the ship on the starboard side. Everyone held their breath as the wave tore a hugh gap into the starboard side.Then the screaming began,as grown men ran around trying to avoid being claimed by the sea. Johnson grabbed Anya and shouted 'This way men!' Together they rushed down onto the deck and boarded a boat. 'Row! Row like the devil is chasing you! Abandon ship!' With this order,most of the men swamped the lifeboats,trying to fight their way onboard. 'Set fire to the ship!' shouted Johnson. The men turned around in amazement and fear. Had the devil already claimed the captain's soul?

'There's a lighthouse out there we must let them know where we are! Use the gunpowder,then jump away and swim for the boats! God keep you all!' This was the final command Captain Johnson gave before Anya pulled him into a boat.

Johnson grabbed a oar and began to row. Never in his 10 years of sailing the seas had he encountered such great waves. it seemed that God indeed wanted his soul tonight. Water hit him from every side and the boat offered scant protection. He held Anya closer and continued to row furiously towards the beam of light which was getting brighter by the moment. 'Almost there, just row harder!' he shouted to the remainder of his crew, which consisted of his first mate and 4 other men.

It was then he felt the blow struck him from behind. he flew forward and entered the dark cold water.Turning around he saw the ship's burning skeleton breaking apart and flying in all directions.The fire must have caused an explosion
'Oh God, take me if you must but save Anya and the rest of them. Please!' he prayed silently as he slid into the depths. The last thing he saw was Anya's face, her mouth open in a scream he could'nt hear.
