The Lethal Target
“At first sight, it just looked like any ordinary cave: a narrow crevice in the cliff face with rocks around the entrance. Inside, though, there was a tunnel that twisted and turned, and finally came to what seemed to be a dead end, a blank wall of rock encrusted with barnacles. As they got nearer, Jake realised that the lower section of this apparent ‘blank rock wall’ was actually made of wood: ships’ timbers fixed together. The rocks in the floor of the tunnel were wet and slippery, as had bee...n the cave entrance.
‘You can only get to it at low tide,’ explained Rona. She indicated the barnacle-encrusted timber. ‘I’m going to need help,’ she said.
Jake and Lauren joined her, and the three of them working together pushed the timber to one side, and revealed a small opening. It was obvious that the piece of timber hadn’t been moved in a very long time.
Rona pulled a small torch from her pocket, switched it on, and crawled through the opening, which was a long low tunnel.MoreLess
