A merchant ship is being attacked by the Walrus. The [[Boatswain]] tells [[Captain Parrish]] that the Walrus is catching up to them and they should surrender. Parrish tells [[Peter the Repeater]] to yell to have the gun crews at the ready. The [[Ship's Cook]] sneaks into the great cabin and tears a page out of the Captain's Log. He goes into the storeroom and as he is shutting the door, [[John Silver]] barges in. The Ship's Cook calls Silver a coward and tells him the ship that is chasing them is [[Captain Flint]]'s ship. He says that Ship's Cooks are in short supply and he will be spared. A cannonball rips through the ship and the page the Ship's Cook tore out falls from his clothes and Silver comments on it. The Walrus catches up to the merchant ship and Parrish tells his men to fall back. He and a few others run to a cabin and he tells [[First Mate 1]] to close the door. First Mate 1 tells him that [[Fisher]] is still outside and Parrish ignores him and closes the door. Fisher runs to the door and begs to be let in, but is shot dead. A barrel rolls towards the door and explodes and most of the remaining sailors on the merchant ship are killed. Parrish shoots at [[Singleton]], but instead kills his own man and as Singleton is about to kill Parrish, Flint stops him. | A merchant ship is being attacked by the Walrus.
