Once Scratch has stowed away on the SilknSpice, a sailing ship bound for the South Seas, he discovers that life on the ocean waves is harder than he thought. Scratch quickly learns he must earn his keep to avoid being thrown overboard, and he thinks the best way to do this is to befriend the ships cook, Pegleg. The only problem is that Pegleg doesnt seem to like Scratch very much! So how will Scratch and Pegleg fare when they are set adrift in a lifeboat to await capture by pirates?
