Quickly! shouted Cyrus Smith. Come down to the beach,and bring your guns with you! Perhaps some pirates weren't on the ship.
The sea was quiet now. They could see the ship on the botton. Most pirates were inside the ship,but some men were in the water. The four men and the boy pulled them out,but they were dead.
We'll have to wait, said Pencroft. When the sea goes out, we can swim down to the ship. But what happened to it? What do you think,Mr Smith?
And why did happen at the right time? said Spillet.
I don't know.It's very mysterious, said Cyrus. Perhaps we'll find the answers at the bottom of the sea.
