As the
Diana-Kate faced the
terrible storm while rounding The Horn,
Phoebe Preble and Hitty were tied into Phoebe's little bunk for safety.
Hitty couldn't help fretting that she was destined to end up at the
bottom of the sea.
She thought of the sea serpents and mermaids tattooed on Bill Buckle's
arm.
Her pegs shook at the though of encountering sea serpents,
but she was able to stifle her fears imagining herself to be a
beautiful mermaid.
