After rescuing Michel from a shark, the former henchman is now their friend. Blackbeard has spotted our heroes and is rowing closer. The big pirate is not aware that Jack has recovered the ring and charts. As far as he knows, the ring is still on the Spindrift, and that Michel is still on his side.
Coasting alongside the skiff, he questions the boys on what they are up to. Their story is that they caught Michel trying to get away, and they now have him tied up. Searchlights have stopped on the two skiffs in the harbor, and it makes Blackbeard nervous. Will Michel freely go back with Blackbeard?
Can Blackbeard be trusted as a friend>? He doesn’t understand why Jack and Billy are so stubborn in holding out on getting into his skiff. The big man overpowers the boys and soon has them tied up. Both skiffs begin to head back to the Spindrift.
Maybe their new friend, Michel will help them with a surprise.
