while the boat stayed in place. We had hit a tree that toppled over into the river.
    The current was pushing the boat downward and into the swirling water. The entire boat leaned to it’s side since it was stuck on this huge fallen tree.
    I could feel the boat lean, and then I started to slide across the deck towards the edge of the boat that was emerged under water.
    I grabbed a railing as I watched water pour into the hull where the steam engines were. Steam rolled out of the opening of the hull, and then there was a loud explosion.
    The explosion threw me back across the deck where I started from. The explosion was large enough that it jarred the boat loose from the fallen tree. We were upright again, but taking in water, and now moving down the river sideways with no running engines to straighten our course. We were out of control!
    The boat twirled around in circles as it barreled down the river. I went flying each time it clipped the bank or a boulder.
    Just when I thought it couldn’t get worse, I saw (during a flash of lightning) a huge chain strung across the river. The pirates had snaked it across the river in attempts to stop the passage of our boat, so they could pirate us.
    But now the boat had no way of stopping and we hit that chain going fast. The chain caught just below the second deck and cut through the boat like a chainsaw.
    I took a quick glance to see if Balow was close by – he wasn’t.
    I had no choice. I had to jump over the edge and take my chances with river. I pulled my straps tight on my backpack and leaped from the deck in the cold, dark, swirling water. I was now swimming for my life in a raging river, surrounded by pirates, in the dark, and all alone again.
