Nathan Hale POV
Kaboom
Lightning flashed around the sky while it was pouring rain. I was in my secret room in my ship at dock, trying to spy on British Fort Ticonderoga to get more information about supplies and battle plans.
This boat was my only headquarters, and it was almost impossible for the British to search for me because this room was a secret room, hidden between stacks of barrels.
I made some plans to infiltrate the Fort with Benedict Arnold. He wasn't going alone.
I was the first person on earth to shoot the British at the battle of Lexington. I was a military soldier at that time.
I soon resigned and worked as a spy to help the British, but we're working for the Patriots for real.
My first spy mission went when I had heard that the British were trying to capture the bunker hill to advance the war, so I told the patriots about this, and they took the hill, but it was a British victory.
All of a sudden, there was a knock on the door. When someone knocks on the door, they do a secret knock because the British might find this.
Well, it wasn't a secret knock.
My palms went cold.
"Hello? Captain Hale?" A familiar voice said.
I sighed with relief. It was my assistant: Sammy.
"Sammy, will you do the secret knock? Not the random knock?" I said, annoyed.
"Oops, sorry, I keep on forgetting," Sammy said, scratching his head.
I rolled my eyes. "So, why did you come here?" I said.
"Our ships having some leak trouble in the dock, a boulder wedged between the boat, so we have to move to another port."
I sighed. "Ok, let's move then."
We soon headed out of the dock and into the sea. We were gonna move to another boat section of the Boston harbor; I could still see some tea in the water that the patriots threw in the dock.
We opened our sails and headed out towards another port near the Boston Harbor. It was about four boat sections away, and two boats were coming out of the harbor, so we had to go deep into the waters and then turn around to get to the other dock.
We started to head out. We were getting deeper as the boats pulled away, so we had to move even further into the ocean. And also, the lightning and the waves made it hard to dock.
"It's gonna be hard for us to put us in the dock!" Sammy said.
"Then move out of the harbor!" I yelled back. My coat was soaking with water.
Usually, the people of Boston weren't allowed to go into the harbor, as the Boston port act was issued. Still, since I was a British spy, which I basically was a double agent working for the Patriots, we were allowed to move out of the sea and into another location.
While we were going, I decided to go back into my secret room and draw my secret plans.
And that's when I saw something shining.
It was something in the ocean, and it seemed to be some light-reflecting our of the water.
But wait a minute, it's raining...
The other crewmen noticed it as well as I did.
"What's that?" Sammy said.
"I don't know, but let's check it out."
Four people jumped off the boat to see what it was. They swam down the ocean about twenty feet below.
I waited and waited.
Then the men resurfaced.
"ITS A SHIPWRECK FULL OF TREASURE!" my assistant said.
I was thrown off a little bit, because I had just found something precious.
"How old is the ship down there?" I said.
"It seems to be only a hundred years old!" my assistant said. The others nodded. I gapped in shock. I had found some treasure, but what could it be?
"Get as much treasure as you can then!" I said.
We were pretty far away from the Boston harbor, so the British couldn't see us.
More men started to get bags and jumped into the ocean. I wondered what kind of treasure it was.
We kept on taking treasure from the shipwreck. It turned out the treasure was from an old Spanish ship that was sailing through the place. I don't know why the Spanish were sailing through these seas in the 1600s, but hey, we got loot.
We soon got butt tons of loot. We tried to keep as much as we could. We got about 3/4th of the treasure but had to leave some behind. The treasure was full of gems, jewels, coins, and more. We all stored it in the secret room where I was. The treasure amount was so big that it couldn't fit the room.
Our men looked at the treasure, and I felt greediness in them. For about a second, I thought we were pirates.
But I wasn't greedy about this at all.
"We should keep the treasure!" Sammy said, eyes filled with happiness.
But I shoved that all away by saying a simple word: "No."
Sammy gagged on the rain. "WHAT?"
The other sailors complained.
"This is all for nothing! we have to keep them!"
"I got the most treasure so that I can keep a lot of it!"
Then it broke into an argument. People were speaking to each other's throats.
I yelled to stop, but the argument kept on coming closer.
"JUST SHUT THE HECK UP!" I yelled as loud as I could. The argument stopped.
"The reason why we can't keep this is because of the British," I said calmly.
Sammy cursed.
"Then we got here for nothing!" one of the sailors said.
"If we sell these things for money, then the parliament will be interested in it and take it away from us!" I said matter-of-factly. The sailors looked at me dumbly.
"OHHHHH YEAHHHH," They said simultaneously.
I facepalmed.
"But what are we gonna do with the treasure then?" Sammy said.
"Were gonna hide it," I said.
"So, we're gonna have to hide this when we found it?" Sammy said, annoyed.
"The British will find it," I said.
Then, I heard water swooshing and the bells of another ship.
I looked outside of my secret window. There was another ship. I looked at the mast. It was a British flag.
"Get the heck out of here," I said.
The secret compartment also had another secret if one of the entrances gets blocked, so we used the alternative way by using a ladder to a trap door that led to the steering wheel of the ship, which was inside. We then covered the trapdoor with a little carpet.
The British then came and saw us by the windows>
"What are you doing here?" one of the men shouted.
"There was a boulder in the rocks, causing a leak at the port!" Sammy shouted. "And we had to move towards another port but got caught by the winds!"
The British nodded, then sailed towards the port.
"I told you they have their eyes everywhere," I said.
The other men started to sob softly. They were never going to see their fortune again, including me.
"Where do we hide it?" Sammy said between his sobs.
"Somewhere, the British will never notice, and we'll make clues too."
"And that is?"
"In the country and around the world."
