ERBIE made a huge effort and
slowly poked his head out from
under his shell. “What was all the
fuss about?” he wondered. His human family
did always hurry around unnecessarily, but
today there seemed to be an extra flurry of
activity. “Oh well,” Herbie yawned. “They’ll
just wear themselves out. They should take
a tip from me. Ease up and s-l-o-o-ow down,
and they might live as long as I have.” The
oldest person in the house, Grandma Sophia,
was only 65 years old while good old Herbie
was 70 years old.

Herbie had by now tucked his head back
under his shell but peered out from
underneath. Oh look, there was the baby
of the house moving around on all fours, but
far, far too fast, Herbie thought. Herbie
was so thankful for the safe strong house he
carried everywhere on his back. He sniffed
the air and caught the now familiar smell of
cat. Tom, the new ginger cat the family had
recently acquired, was still very puzzled by
Herbie. One moment he looked like an old
boulder brought in from the garden, and then
he would surprise you by growing a head and
moving, although ever so slowly, across the
room. He hadn’t plucked up enough courage
yet to investigate further, luckily for Herbie.

“Rush! Rush! Rush! Will they ever stop? Why
are they making so much noise and dragging
and carrying great big boxes around? Gosh,
are they even going to remember to give me
my dish of greens this morning?” He was
called Herbie because he liked a lot of herbs
with his lettuce and greens. Herbie kept his
head tucked in just in case someone rushing
around injured him. He might be slow, but he
was definitely hungry by now. Very hungry!

What was this? A big hand scooped him up
and placed him in one of the boxes he had
seen being dragged around. “Hey, what
do you think you are doing?” Herbie called
out in his tortoise language. But no one
understood him or cared to reply. Suddenly
the lights went out as a lid was placed on the
box. “What’s this?” thought Herbie. “I have
my own house, thank you, and don’t need to
be put into another box house.” Now the box
was being lifted and carried to … where?
Oh dear, Herbie knew something dreadful
was happening. The box he was in started
bumping around with other boxes and he
was being knocked about it inside. Once
again he was so grateful for the shell house
he carried on his back.
After what seemed a long time, everything
stopped moving. Herbie was being lifted
out again in the box and carried somewhere.
There were lots of footsteps again rushing
around him and humans talking ever so

loudly. They sounded very excited. They
couldn’t understand tortoise talk but Herbie
could understand them. “Mum,” Charlie
was calling out, “Don’t forget to let Herbie
out!” “Oh yes,” said Mrs Smith, “Herbie
must come out now and see his new home”.
Herbie was lifted out of the box and placed
on a strange shiny wood floor. After a little
while he plucked up the courage to slowly
poke his head out. “Umm! New home eh?
Looks alright I suppose,” he looked around
carefully. ‘Hurray’ they hadn’t forgotten his
dinner after all. There was a little red pot
lying on its side, and out of it were lovely
green stalks of parsley. Herbie wasted no
time and started on his slow journey to the
pot, which was actually not his dinner but
part of Mrs Smith’s kitchen herb garden. Oh
well, they would all be busy for some time
with unpacking all those boxes. Once again
Herbie was so grateful for his shell house.
Moving home for him was no bother at all!

Oh no, the school holidays are coming to an end and it’s
starting to become dead boring around here. I played
all the video games and Dad has got the computer so
e-mailing my mates is out of the question. There’s a dead-
boring, soppy love movie on TV, and Annabelle’s got that
to herself. Mum is doing her Avon Lady bit around town,
so there goes the car, and there’s was no one to take me
to town to go to the movies, where they’re playing
The
Gladiator
again.
For a guy who’s eleven - almost twelve – holidays are
beginning to suck.
Then the phone rings.
“Get the phone, Stollery, would you please,” yells Dad.
I’m in there quicker than a seagull on a chip, anything but
hanging around the house.
Now, I’ve been taught from the time I learned to use the
phone, to answer it in the standard Kelly way. That’s to
repeat our phone number back to the caller and then
ask who’s speaking. I’m stoked; this time it was not one
of Annabelle’s wacky girlfriends. Mum and Dad have
mobiles, for most of their business calls.

“G’day Stoll, Flintey here.” Flintey, or Tony Flinte is my
best mate. Together, along with Tony’s twin sister,
Linda, we’ve weathered the storms of kindergarten,
early primary school and in the New Year, we’re off to
Goldtown and going to high school.
“Yeah Flintey - what’s happening, dude?” Dad reckons
that we kids watch too much television shows like
Rage
and we speak a whole new language and like strange
music. We think it’s cool though.
“Bored outa my brains mate, hate to say it, but I’m looking
forward to school,” says Flintey. “Me and Boxy Avery
was thinking of going fishing for eels in Fergusson’s dam,
want to come? Blinky Billson’s coming too.”
I had to think that one out for a moment. “Nah, I heard
that old man Fergusson has got a shotgun and is a pretty
good shot.”
“No worries Kel, ol’ Fergie’s gone to Sydney for a couple
of days. His daughter, Yvonne’s real cool and she won’t
tell her dad.”
Blinky’s dad taught him how to skin and fry up eels. We’re
going to his place later for a feed. “Magic tucker, fried
eels, mate.”

“Hang on Flintey - I’ll ask my dad.” I put my hand over the
mouthpiece and yelled.
“Hey Dad, me and Flintey’s gonna kick a footy around -
okay?”
“That’s okay son,” says Dad, who by now is away in cyber
land. “Make sure you’re back by five.”
My older sister, Annabelle waltzes into the room.
Annabelle never merely walked, she either waltzed or
glided.
“A right little heart-breaker, that one,” was many an
opinion from many a neighbour. She glided over and
kissed Dad on the cheek.
“By five! The child can
hardly
read, Daddy, let alone tell
the time.”
“Cool it, Anna

got pictures of stupid girls talking about stupid lipstick
and dresses and pop stars….”

“No

cool it child, for your information I’m no longer
into, how you put it, pop stars.”
“Whoops, sorry sis, I forgot you were a young Softy
Kate.”
“Its sophisticate,
child
, get your teacher to read it in
the dictionary for you,” Annabelle replied with all the
haughtiness of the almost grown up young woman.
“Oh yeah! Anna

what would your Softy Kate mates
say if they knew I copped you watching
The Wiggles
on
telly the other day, eh?”
“
Really
father, I don’t know how you and mother put up
with him.”
Annabelle, at almost fifteen, had decided that it is so cool
to be ever so grown up and sophisticated, therefore she
and a group of her friends have decided not to pursue,
what her classmates loved; pop music, television soap
stars and teenage fashion. Theirs is the pursuit of the
finer things such as art, ballet and classical music. They
had called themselves the ‘Young High Fashion and
Sophisticates Club’.

Mum and Dad secretly smiled at her attempt to act grown
up. Nevertheless, they have to admit that Annabelle is
growing up into an extremely pretty young lady. She’s
my sister and I love her like crazy, but sometimes she’s a
real pain.
“Okay kids, both of you cool it. Stollery, out. Go to
Flintey’s and kick the football. Annabelle, I need you to
help me with a PC login problem.” Annabelle turns to
me and gives me one of her drop dead gorgeous smiles,
which has all the blokes at Goldtown High melting. No
way guys, she’s dead keen on Lofty Boden.
Kelly raced back to the phone. “It’s okay Flintey, see ya
at Fergie’s.”

Fergusson’s Dam was a popular spot for the youngsters.
Although we kids don’t know it, Mr. Fergusson is pleased
to have the youngsters around. Part of his ploy was to
pretend to give us a hard time and it was he who had
started the rumour about the shotgun.

During the fruit harvest, there was always room for the
boys and girls of the town to earn a few dollars picking
the fruit - with as much free fruit as we could handle.
Normally it amounted to very little. After the first few
days, we’ve munched through kilos of fruit and have
eaten our fill, so much so that, our tummies cried,
‘Enough’.
Fergusson’s Dam had the ‘fattest and juiciest eels in all
of New South. Well, that was the opinion of Boxy Avery,
the Head Teacher’s son.
Boxy, or Kevin, had lived in the town for the past six
years. His mother had died in a road accident just after
their arrival. He and his father lived in the Head Teacher’s
cottage near the school. ‘Just two men together’, his
father would say.
Boxy got his name from his love of making things with wood.
He had made a cage for the class’ hamster, a makeshift
coffin for a dead stray cat, a box for his shoes, another for
his music CDs and another for his DVDs.

Boxy’s other loves were fishing and football, with fishing
taking priority.
The Flinte’s had lived in the town for as long as anyone
could remember. Eric Flinte, Tony’s dad, owns and runs
the local newsagency. Nora, Tony’s mum, controls the
Flinte household; Tony’s older brother, Damien, is at
University, in Canberra, and Tony and his twin sister,
Linda, are in my class at school, although Linda is in a
different homeroom.
The third member of the
Rangers
is Kevin Billson. We
call him Blinky. Bluey McLaughlin gave him the nickname
Blinky, from the old Australian storybook character,
Blinky Bill.
Blinky is the brainiest of
The
Rangers
and loves getting
his head stuck into books and working out science and
maths problems. Despite this, he’s not a bad bloke
and can come out with a beaut gag or two, if the need
arises.

We’re all were lying on the grass, close to Fergusson’s
Dam. I’m lying there with my hands behind my head
watching the fluffy white clouds scudding across the
sky. Boxy, although on his back, had his hand on a long
line, hoping to catch one of Fergusson’s juicy eels. Blinky
is engrossed in a book
Peter Pan
.
“Watchya reading, Blinks?” I ask, tearing my thoughts
away from rescuing Linda Flinte from a terrorist group.
“Peter Pan, mate, it’s the story of a girl called Wendy and
her brothers who meet this magical kid called Peter Pan
and they fly away to a beaut magic land, where there
are pirates, red Indians, fairies….”
“Yuk! Fairies,” I blurt out, no way mate. “Flamin’ fairies,
that’s the sort of stuff my sister, Anna

, reads.”
“This fairy is called Tinkerbelle and she’s Peter Pan’s best
mate. Peter has a fight with Captain Hook, the pirate
chief….”
“…Pirates,” I interrupt, “Pirates, cool, that’s more like it.”
Blinky goes on, “And what’s more is, a crocodile ate
Captain Hook’s hand when he was holding a clock and
it always ticks, so Hook knows when the crocodile gets
near.”

“I reckon pirates are beaut,” said Boxy. “My dad told me
the story of

This one I know, “… by Robert Louis Stephenson,” saw
the movie on television.”
“Yeah! Saw it too,” said Boxy.
“Cos you did, you saw it at my place and Anna

had
to leave the lounge room, reckoned it was violent, I said,
that was real neat. You came over too, Blinky, our dads
were at a Rotary meeting.”
“Gee, it’d be beaut to be a pirate,” said Boxy dreamily.
“Nah! I reckon being in the Navy, like Captain Cook and
chasing pirates is beauter,” I reply.
“Pirate’s are freer,” replied Boxy. “I reckon they were
better than the navy.”
“No way,” I say. “The British Navy was the best.”
“I don’t think Captain Cook chased pirates,” interrupted
Blinky, “He was too busy exploring.”
“Well, he might have done, when he
wasn’t
exploring, The
Royal Navy was always chasing pirates. Even if you was
a pirate, Boxy, I’d even chase you - gee that’d be funny.”

Blinky went back to his book, Boxy was lying there,
concentrating on his line. Me, I was watching the clouds,
imagining them to be ships chasing pirates across the
Spanish Main.

Captain Stollery Kelly, Royal Navy, of the good ship HMS
Miss Last
, was pacing the deck, telescope under his arm,
deep in thought.
His first Lieutenant, Lieutenant Tony Flinte, interrupted
him. “Captain, you look worried.”
“I am indeed, Mr. Flinte,” he replied. “It seems that Black
Box Avery, scourge of the Seven Seas has outwitted us
yet again. He’s hiding at Treasure Cove and our ship is too
small to clear the reefs, we’d be battered and drowned
before you could say, Linda Flinte.”
“Aaah, I thought as much,” said his friend with a smile. “I
saw how you smiled at my sister and held her hand ‘ere
she left for the Americas on the good ship,
Lisa
.”
“I am worried because, Back Box Avery preys in those
areas. Before we left, Admiral Nelson, warned me to
keep a sharp lookout for his ship. My sister, the Lady

Annabelle, is also on that ship, as is a large shipment of
gold. The

was game enough to show himself.”
They were interrupted by the lookout in the crow’s nest.
“Sail Oh!” he cried,
“Where away! Lookout,” called back Lieutenant Flinte.
“Starboard bow, sir,” came the response.
“Aloft there, can you see what flag she flies?” yelled
Captain Kelly.
“She flies a Yankee flag, sir,” came the answer from the
lookout.
Midshipman Billson, excitement on his face was leaning
over the side, eyeglass trained on the approaching ship.
“She’s no Yankee, sir,” he yelled. “She’s struck her colours
and has raised the ‘Jolly Roger’ - sir! This a two decker,
sink me. It’s the
Blackbird
. I’d know her anywhere. She’s
as fleet as a running rabbit.”
“Black Box Avery,” said Captain Kelly and Lieutenant

They all raised their telescopes to survey the fast
approaching ship. There, tied to the mast were the
beautiful Ladies Annabelle and Linda. Black Box Avery
and his men were, taunting Captain Kelly by laughing
and pointing to the two ladies, Black Box Avery drawing
his finger across his throat.
“Beat to quarters, Mr. Flinte.”
“Aye aye sir.”
The ships drew closer.
“A shot across the bow, if you please Mr. Billson.”
“Across the bow, aye sir,”
Midshipman Billson, the gunnery officer, was accurate
within one yard of the pirate ship’s bow. Sergeant “Red”
McLaughlin, of the Royal Marines had his boarding party
ready for action. He walked up the rows, inspecting each
of them carefully.
“Yez have got to be dressed proper, ‘cos if yer ain’t, them
pirates will think we’re a scruffy bunch and Mr. Boden
won’t like it a bit. Them pirates is allowed be a scruffy
bunch, but we’re marines.

“And when yer boards and ‘as ter stab the other feller,
make sure yer bayonet is clean too? We don’t want the
other bloke dying of blood poisoning does we?”
The marines laughed at the sergeant’s well-worn joke.
Lieutenant Boden, the Marines’ commander, hand on the
hilt of his sword, stood close to Kelly and Flinte. Through
clenched teeth, he murmured to his friends:
“If that Black Box scoundrel has harmed even a hair of
the Lady Annabelle’s head, he’ll die like the mutinous dog
he is. I will personally pull the rope from the yardarm in
Sydney Town”
The ships drew into hailing distance.
“Ahoy there, Blackbird. Where bound and what is your
business,” called Lieutenant Flinte.
Black Box Avery yelled back. “A bit o’ pirating’, sweep
the Spanish Main, clear of the king’s Navee and demand
a tribute from the Governor for the return of these lovely
ladies.” Black Box Avery slapped his knee with his hat
and laughed.
“Failing that, they’ll fetch a pretty price on the market,
buxom wenches that they are. Or perhaps, I’ll make them
walk the plank. “Tis almost luncheon time for the sharks.”

“Harm them and I’ll have you swinging from the yardarm

The Lady Linda’s cornflower blue eyes were blazing.
I am not afraid of you or your taunts, Black Box Avery.
My Captain Kelly
and my
brother Lieutenant Flinte, Royal
Navy will see to that.”
Black Box Avery laughed even louder.
The Lady Annabelle tossed her dark auburn hair.
“Captain Kelly is my brother and he has my beloved
Lieutenant Boden with him, he’s a marine and when he
gets his hands on you. You’ll not see the sunrise.”
Black Box Avery walked to the side of the ship and yelled
out:
“Avast there, ye scurvy lubber, come aboard if you’re
game enough, Kelly. I may have some of the good ship
Lisa’s
gold to share with you”
“What of the
Lisa
?” replied Captain Kelly.
“She’s harboured at Treasure Cove. The Yankees will
pay a good price for her, as they will for your puny little
ship.” He threw back his head and laughed.

The ships were almost touching. Lieutenant Boden, his
sword drawn was preparing his men for the attack. Little
Midshipman Billson, holding a cutlass almost as large
as himself called to his men. “On the Captain’s orders -
prepare to board.”
“Are you ready, Mr. Billson?”
“Ready, Aye, Ready,” Replied the midshipman, eyes
agleam.
“And you Mr. Flinte?”
“Aye, Captain.”
The ships touched.
“Board,” yelled Captain Kelly.
They scrambled up the ropes and over the side onto the
deck of the blackbird. The pirates put up some fight, but
were no match for the disciplined marines and sailors.
Captain Kelly, sword ready advanced on Black Box
Avery. “Cede, you dog,” he said.
“Never!” yelled back the pirate chief.

“Then, on guard and prepare to die.” He advanced on

“Oh my Stollery, I love you,” cried Linda.
Annabelle threw herself into Lieutenant Boden’s arms.
They all turned to watch Kelly advance on Black Box
Avery.
The crew began to chant: “Kelleee! Kellee! Kellee!” Black
Box dived into the water, the splash spraying Kelly’s
face.
“Kelly! Kelly, wake up mate, I’ve got one - a big juicy eel,”
yelled Boxy excitedly, shaking a large wet, wriggling eel
over Kelly. Ain’t she a beaut?”
