After some hazing he buckles up to learn the hard work and gets accepted by the rough crew. Then Royal Navy lieutenant John Merrick is welcomed to take charge of security on a long voyage to Sidney and Calcutta, trough pirates-infested waters, but Haakon mistrusts him after finding he packed concealed weapons; indeed Merrick secretly poisons the captain. Haakon and his guardian angel, dad’s best mate Jens, were about to feel the claw of the cat for helping a stowaway when a rock wrecks the ship. Haakon washes up an island where he finds a pirates treasure and weapons.
