While trapped at sea, a small fishing vessel desperately tried to reach another ship for assistance. Finally, a large ship appeared over the crest of a magnificent wave.
The crew members screamed for help, but over the noise of the storm, their voices were lost. As the other boat pulled up near the starboard to the stranded fishing craft, the captain noticed a strange insignia on their hull.
This symbol was no mystery to the captain. As an experienced and knowledgeable seaman, he knew that the symbol was the maritime code for the letter t. Stranger though was its meaning when used independently: "Keep clear of me."
A man emerged from the hatch and shouted these words in a powerful voice that even pierced the howling winds of the storm. Even so, only snippets of his speech were remembered by the crew, and those that stood out were cryptic.
We travel from the Island of Pelicans, where there are no pelicans.
The island's second observer hails from the insignia capsized.
Do not board
What was the ship carrying? and Where were they?
