Ready to move on, Jack and his friends prepare to pursue Blackbeard. They feel badly for leaving their new friend Manuel to fend off the hostile natives on his own, but the man is grateful for the help he has already received.
Isn’t there more Jack can do to reinforce the belief that the ring has even more magical power? A plan is hatched that involves showing a motion picture on their sail, and attributing it to the ring.
Suddenly, dark shadows are seen moving toward the Spindrift. Before they are boarded, the movie trick works better than planned. Its proof the ring even has powwer when worn on a white mans finger. Sailing past the Morel warriors, the movie continues to have the desired affect to scare away the natives.
Uncle Jim shares his plan with Manuel in taking down Blackbeard, and their needed diving equipment. Once the uranium is found, they will return to help Manuel in the search for the nissing white man. For now, its off to Manila.
