The Howling Ghost
“The reason the skeleton had been rushing toward him was because—in his panic—he had been splashing in the water and created a mild current inside the stateroom. This had set the skeleton free to float toward him. The skeleton was not alive, after all, but as dead as any other creature that had gone down with the ship. Too bad Mr. Spiney wasn’t around to inspect it, Adam thought. The librarian probably would have loved the old sailor’s strong white bones.
Adam didn’t know if anyone was coming to... his rescue. He hoped someone was because he didn’t like to think what his bones would look like after he’d been rotting in the ship for a few years. He didn’t know what he could do to help his friends locate him. He wished Watch had given him a flare gun along with the flashlight. One thing was sure, he knew he couldn’t swim to the surface without another tank of air. He’d just have to be patient.
While waiting, Adam studied the contents of the stateroom, trying to get an idea of what Captain Pillar had been like.MoreLess
