Zhang Heng and Annie had already led people to search the small half of the island, but they did not find Harry's whereabouts.
"Why didn't I find out that guy can run like this before?" Annie was a little surprised by this result. It stands to reason that the farther you are from the beach, the less likely you are to find someone, because most people don't run so far.
"It seems that he is really lost." Quartermaster Di Frena also took the initiative to join the search team after hearing what happened. Now there is a distance of about two meters between everyone, walking While calling Harry's name, but to no avail.
Just then, a sailor on the left side of the team made a discovery.
Zhang Heng and others walked over and saw a wooden barrel and two wine bottles.
"Is this left by the people at the observation point?"
Zhang Heng lifted the lid of the barrel with his saber and took a look, "In order to monitor the movement of the Spanish treasure ship, three observation points were set up on the island, but as far as I know, none of them are in this area."
"That's what Bauer's men left when they hunted in the afternoon."
This time it was Dufresne who spoke, "Bauer's hunting is on the west side of the island, where the wild goats are all there, and they won't bring buckets directly." Seeing everyone's eyes focused on him, the quartermaster shrugged. Shrugged, "I asked their staff specifically about this at night. If possible, I would like to roast a few lambs and take them on board when I leave."
"Then it seems that these things were left by the people who came to the island before." Annie said.
Although no one lives on Parrot Island, it is an island recorded on the nautical chart after all, so it is not unreasonable that there are traces of human activities on it.
Zhang Heng was noncommittal, dipped his little finger in some water, put it into his mouth and sipped it, "The fresh water here is very clean and drinkable, and it wasn't a long time ago." After speaking, he squatted down again, and checked the two wine bottle.
"You mean there are other people on the island besides us?"
"It's impossible." Dufresne said decisively, "We did a comprehensive search after we landed on the island, and there is indeed no one else here except us."
"Then how do you explain this bucket of fresh water?"
"Maybe someone just left before we came to the island..." Dufresne hesitated in the middle of saying, because if this is the case, then the comprehensive search should have found these things before.
"It's ours." Zhang Heng said, and he handed one of the wine bottles to the red-haired girl.
"The rum we drink is usually made by a distillery in North Carolina and shipped to Nassau for sale. Their bottles are very special. Although that distillery sells liquor in other parts of the colony, it happens to be here. The chances of encountering it are very small.”
"Wait, why did our people appear here?" The red-haired girl wondered, "Is it Captain Sam's arrangement?"
"It's unlikely. The location here is not very good. The most important thing is that it is not on the route of the Spanish treasure ship. It is a waste to set up an observation point here, and the most important thing is that if he did it for no reason, don't tell me. other people."
Zhang Heng paused, "Everyone had better be careful, there may be some accidents on the island."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps in the bushes in the distance. Zhang Heng immediately pulled out the short musket at his waist, and Annie also drew out her own saber.
After a while, a figure stumbled out from behind the tree, and almost at the same time, the red-haired girl also rushed over, but the saber in her hand drew an arc, but abruptly stopped in mid-air.
"Harry?"
"Boss Anne!" The latter looked extremely embarrassed, his whole body was soaked, as if he had just been fished out of the water, and he was still limping, covering the wound on his arm with one hand, But after seeing Zhang Heng and others, he was very excited and shouted, "I have something important to tell you!!!"
"Important thing? Why don't you talk about how you made yourself like this first." The red-haired girl said.
"It's really urgent!" Harry said anxiously, "We have actually been betrayed. Jarvis and his confidants accepted the amnesty. They were not pirates as early as a few months ago. Nassau is because he reached an agreement with the new governor of Charleston to help the latter capture Nassau's famous pirates!"
"Jarvis, Gunpowder Jarvis?" Dufresne frowned. "Are you sure you want to file charges against him? He is a very old pirate on the island, even before Blackbeard came to the island."
Harry nodded, "I heard it with my own ears. I was lazy... oh no, I ran here when I had diarrhea. There is a cliff not far away. Jarvis's people secretly took a piece of it while everyone was not paying attention. A small boat was hidden below, and I saw the small boat leave there with my own eyes. I wanted to try to see if I could see the people on it clearly, but at this moment someone pushed me from behind, and I fell from above. go down."
Harry was still a little shocked when he said this, "There are reefs under that cliff, but I was very lucky. I fell into the gap between two reefs and was not injured. But I didn't dare to go ashore after that and swam to a Hide behind the rocks.
"After a while, the people who pushed me down also came down. They searched the place, but they didn't find me. They probably thought I was dead, so they let down their vigilance, and they happened to be standing on the spot where I was hiding. Near a rock, I overheard their conversation.
"One of them said that he thought he would stay in Nassau for a while, but this time it's easy. Now almost all the most famous pirates in Nassau are on this small island. As long as we catch us all, the mission can be completed ahead of schedule. I heard from them that the new governor of Charleston will not only pardon them for all previous crimes, but also pay them a severance pay of twenty pounds each. Information was leaked."
Harry was in a hurry, speaking faster and faster, "Just behind us, there is a fleet of navy and pirate hunters following us quietly. That small boat is just to contact them. This dinner is actually held by Jia Weiss's idea, in order to create a chance for that fleet to do it."
Zhang Heng's heart moved, and he thought of the incident that Manfan Brook had mentioned to him before. During a robbery, he was targeted by a group of unknown people. Brook thought that the other party was a pirate from another place, but now That group of people is probably a pirate hunter working with Jarvis.
