In this gripping episode, we sit down with Captain Scott Brown, a veteran of the New York State Police with a decorated 32-year career. From his early days as a young trooper to his 18-year tenure as a Captain and SWAT commander, Scott shares firsthand accounts of the most intense and bizarre calls in his history. We dive into a harrowing story of survival on the Newberg-Beacon Bridge, the chilling details of the 1996 Jennifer Bolduc and Sarah Hajney investigation, and a high-stakes tactical standoff with a double homicide suspect. Scott also opens up about the lighter side of the job, including a miraculous rescue in a New York swamp that highlights the incredible will to survive. Whether you are an active officer, a retiree, or someone interested in the reality of law enforcement and tactical operations, this interview offers a deep look into the mental and physical demands of the badge.

Tom Crean was the unsung hero of Antarctic exploration, whose incredible exploits with Captain Scott and Ernest Shackleton were overlooked for 80 years. Crean, who ran away from home as a teenager, served on three expeditions to the Antarctic, and spent longer on the ice than either Scott or Shackleton. He was among the last to see Scott alive near the South Pole in 1912 and returned to the ice to bury his frozen body. Crean was also a major figure on Shackleton's Endurance expedition; he crossed the Southern Ocean with Shackleton in an open boat, trekked over the glaciers and mountains of South Georgia and returned to rescue his comrades marooned on the desolate Elephant Island. But Tom Crean never spoke about his exploits, never wrote a book nor kept a diary, taking his remarkable story to the grave. Polar historian Michael Smith, who researched and wrote the definitive account of Crean's life, presents a fascinating account.

4. Pappalardo examines the Rangers' lives after the frontier closed. Captain Scott built railroads in Mexico, surviving further violence, while Brooks entered politics and founded Brooks County. Their stoic, disciplined style established the template for modern Rangers, though their later years were often marked by personal loneliness and a grinding existence. (4)1895 HOUSTON

President Xi Jinping says China will 'never be intimidated' at a display of military might in Beijing where he was joined by the leaders of Russia and North Korea. The parade was held to mark the anniversary of the victory over Japan in the Second World War. President Trump accused the three leaders of conspiring against the US. Also, the number of people killed in Sunday's earthquake in Afghanistan rises to 1,400, and the wreck of Captain Scott's polar ship, Terra Nova, has been filmed in detail on the sea floor for the first time.

READERS OF A certain age all over North America will remember a really excellent Canadian comedy-variety show called The Red Green Show, which had a 15-year run starting in 1990, starring Steve Smith as gravel-voiced handyman Red Green. Each week, Red would preside over the “Handyman Corner” segment of the show, in which he would do something ridiculous with duct tape and, usually, one or more rusty old cars. In one memorable episode from Season 14, Red made a DIY “mid-engine sports car” by sawing off the trunk of a rusty Mercury Grand Marquis, squashing the cabin flat, and duct-taping what remained onto the front of another car of the same model. The result was a remarkably ugly barge-shaped thing, about 50 feet long, which Red then hopped into and fired up, remarking proudly, “This isn't an old junker anymore, it's a fancy Italian mid-engine junker,” and adding his famous tagline: “If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy!” Viewers and studio-audience members of Red's show probably felt, watching him drive off in this monstrosity, about the same way the executives of Oregon's two big riverboat almost-monopolies did back in 1874 while they watched an Ohio greenhorn's progress on the riverboat he was building. They watched, and they laughed. The executives were also, it seems clear, congratulating themselves for having had the good sense not to hire that “Red Green” type guy when he'd applied to them for a job a few months earlier. The Ohio man, whose name was Uriah B. Scott, had come to them almost as soon as he'd arrived in Oregon, asking for a job and babbling about “shallow-draft hulls” — as if their riverboats weren't already on shallow-draft hulls! What, did he think they ran a blue-water fleet or something? They were in for a big surprise.... (Canemah, Clackamas County; 1870s) (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/2503b1110d.uriah-scott-riverboat-genius-692.145.html)

Relics (Star Trek: The Next Generation (TNG), S6 E4) was recommended by Kyyanno (Kyy for short, rhymes with Sky), he/him, who said: I've always loved the engineering side of Trek, from the designs of the ships to the entirely fictional but awesome systems that make them tick. I've read "Mr Scott's guide to the Enterprise" and the TNG "Technical Manual" from cover to cover many a time. Scotty was my favourite character from TOS, and Geordi from TNG, both making me want to pursue a career in engineering while growing up (which indeed I did!). To have both characters appearing *and* working together in the same episode of TNG was an absolute dream for me when it originally aired!Now that I'm older though, I watch the episode with more experienced eyes. Scotty's just trying to help and feel useful as he would have been, and yet just gets in the way, at least that's the impression he gets from Geordi, who is genuinely just trying to get his job done but doesn't quite realise his impact on Captain Scott's feelings. It's Picard's words to Scott in the holodeck, and then to Geordi later on that all a person wants is to be useful and feel wanted that *REALLY* hit home, 3 decades on.Sure, this episode pushes the fanboy buttons, but deep down it also makes us take a look at how we treat those around us who we feel might be past their prime (or how those of us approaching that age might feel). I did always find the "oh no, we're falling into the sun" part of the episode.... hang on.... *I SAY WE EJECT THE WARP CORE*.... don't they miraculously seem to fix everything amazingly in time to turn around and then get out of there once the doors open? Regardless, both Geordi and Scotty save the day, and the engineer in me squees with glee at it.Relics first aired on October 12, 1992, written by Ronald D. Moore, and directed by Alexander SingerThe Enterprise investigates a vessel that crashed on the surface of a Dyson sphere 75 years ago. A pattern is found in the transporter buffer that turns out to be Montgomery Scott. He is released from the buffer and later agrees to return to the vessel with Geordi to help restore the logs. They become the only hope when the Enterprise is accidentally pulled inside the sphere.

The winter before Captain Scott's ill-fated attempt on the South Pole, his youngest team member Apsley Cherry-Garrard (known as “Cherry”) set off across the ice in the middle of the polar night. Henrietta Hammant talks to Alok Jha about this astonishing journey and Cherry's subsequent memoir, which remains one of the most gripping works of travel and adventure writing to this day. Henrietta is an anthropologist specialising in the Heroic Age of Antarctic exploration. Her research considers how this era of Antarctic history is displayed in museums. She has worked across the UK and Canada, most notably at the Polar Museum in Cambridge, and has recently submitted her PhD thesis at the University of Reading.To support this podcast and the work of the UK Antarctic Heritage Trust click here To buy a copy of Cherry: A Life of Apsley Cherry-Garrard click here Season 5 of A Voyage to Antarctica is made possible by support from HX Hurtigruten Expeditions.Sound Credits: Footsteps in Snow by SoundBiterSFX - https://freesound.org/s/730914/ - License: Creative Commons 0Walking in Soft Snow.wav by Percy Duke - https://freesound.org/s/420633/ - License: Attribution 3.0Silencyo_CC_Wind Mistral_Strong_pine trees.aif by silencyo - https://freesound.org/s/81797/ - License: Creative Commons 0Heavy hailstorm with thunder by Cinetony - https://freesound.org/s/620489/ - License: Creative Commons 0Short Hailstorm.wav by Benboncan - https://freesound.org/s/63802/ - License: Attribution 4.0 Hosted on Acast.

Ever wonder what it takes to lead a mission in the coldest, most unforgiving place on Earth?  In this episode of Antarctica Did That For Me, we (your hosts, Keri Nelson and Cassa Grant) dive into the tricky terrain of leading a team in Antarctica. From the hierarchical “my way or the highway” approach of Captain Scott… to the more democratic style of Sir Ernest Shackleton, we discuss the leadership secrets that can make or break an expedition in the world's harshest environment.  We also dig into what we learned about leadership from our co-workers during our time in Antarctica, an environment that can bring out the best and the worst in folks. Whether you're planning your own Antarctic adventure, or just trying to lead yourself out of bed in the morning, this episode has something for you.  We'll show you why being relatable, flexible, and authentic are the real superpowers of any leader, especially when the going gets tough.  Plus, we'll let you in on a little secret: the most important leader you'll ever have is YOU.

Sara Wheeler on why sleeping in Captain Scott's bunk in the Antarctic got her thinking about imposter syndrome.

Blackbeard's Treasure by Jenny Dolly词汇提示1.Highness 殿下原文Chapter X: Blackbeard's PeaceBlackbeard dropped the knife to the ground."Look!The knife. It moved by itself.""It's the curse of the treasure. It's a message from Blackbeard."No one could see the ghost except for Queen Alliana.She had her great-grandmother's eyes, and those eyes would always be able to see him.She walked towards him, away from the other men, who were preparing to take the pirates to the Queen Anne as prisoners."When you return to this island, you always bring unhappiness to a woman's heart.First, it was my great-grandmother's, and now it is mine. Have you thought of this in all those years while watching that treasure?""How could I forget? I can never die and be peaceful. I always remember what I didby looking at that treasure.""But you can do something good now. You can keep others from touching it and making the same mistake you did.""How?I can't keep people from coming onto my ship and taking my treasure.""You could if you wanted. If there was never any treasure, you would have lived happily with Queen Hanzani. Now, you still have the treasure and you are still unhappy.""But that is what I was told to do, watch the treasure to pay for my mistake.""Have you ever thought of what it is that will end this punishment and let you die in peace?"Blackbeard had no answer.He was quiet.Captain Scott came to say goodbye to Queen Alliana."Your Highness, we are ready to leave your island. I'm sorry for the trouble we brought with us, but I want to thank you for giving us what we need to sail again.""Remember Captain, you must find the ship you got the treasure from and put it back. It's the only way to keep peace on these islands.""We will try.""I think you will succeed. And remember the story I told you about that treasure.Taking what is not yours can never bring you or the ones you love any happiness."Captain Scott and the others rowed back to the Queen Anne, and soon it was sailing again through the Bermuda Triangle.Blackbeard was standing at the ship's side.He was looking across the wide, blue sea, thinking of everything Queen Allianas aidto him before he left Rum Island.He was always saying the same thing to himself: "If there was never any treasure, I would be happy now."Suddenly,Blackbeard's old empty ship appeared sailing along the shining blue sea.The man in the crow's nest shouted to the Captain, and he put his telescope to his eye."Stubbs,sail straight for that ship. We're going back on board."Blackbeard was walking nervously back and forth as the men put the treasure chest into a small row boat.He sat on top of it when they were ready to leave and row towards the empty ship.Captain Scott told the men to leave the chest where they found it.Before the sailors left, Captain Scott looked around the old pirate ship."And this is what you get for wanting all the riches of the world."Blackbeard was standing next to him listening.It was the last thing that was said on that ship.The Queen Anne began to sail away when one of the sailors shouted "Look!"Everyone turned to see Blackbeard's chest rising in the air over the sea.They thought it was moving by itself, but it was Blackbeard moving it.He threw the chest into the sea, ending the curse he had to live with.The sailors of the Queen Anne saw the shining gold on top of the water for one last moment,then it sank into the sea below.When the chest had disappeared into the water, Blackbeard's ship began to break apart and sank into the sea.The sailors' eyes all grew wide as they saw the ghost of a pirate in a long blue coat, with a black beard and a red scarf around his head, fly up into the clouds of the sky."Captain,what in the world was that?" "It was the ghost of Blackbeard.It seems that he has finally found his peace."The end of " Blackbeard's Treasure"by Jenny Dolly

Blackbeard's Treasure by Jenny Dolly词汇提示1.threatened 恐吓 2.torches 火炬原文Chapter IX: The Circle of fireThe clouds came again to cover the light of the moon.The sea was dark.None of the British sailors heard the pirates rowing their boats towards the Queen Anne.Captain Pike and his men climbed the ship's side and surprised the sailors on deck. They attacked the sailors with knives and Captain Pike went below deck.He kicked open the door to the treasure, but he saw that it was gone."Gone?!Where is it?"He ran back upstairs and threatened one of the sailors with a knife. "Where's that treasure you had down there? Talk or I'll kill you right here!""The Captain took it to the island, to trade with the natives. We needed something to fix our sails." The pirates left the Queen Anne and rowed towards Rum island.Captain Scott and his men were preparing to leave the Island. They had what they needed to fix the sails, and they were saying goodbye to Queen Alliana and her people.Torches were lit all around the village, and everyone was having one last cup of rum."Queen Alliana! I hope you and your people will live long lives!"Everyone raised their cup, but before they could drink, one of the natives came running through the village. "Pirate ship! Pirate ship!"The natives all dropped their cups and began running to their huts. The Queen looked at Captain Scott. "You see, the treasure is cursed. Wherever it goes, bad luck follows.""We have enough men here to fight these pirates. We won't let them destroy your island.We have a lot of experience fighting such men, but you can help by letting us use that treasure. Don't worry, you'll get it all back in the end."The natives kept their rum in wooden barrels near a small lake, next to the village.They took all the tops off the barrels to let the smell lead the pirates to where they were.When the pirates arrived, they saw Blackbeard's treasure chest in the middle of a large circle of sugar plant leaves.Queen Alliana was standing outside the circle, holding a torch.Captain Pike saw the chest first."There it is! Take it!""I wouldn't if I were you. You can't come here and take whatever you want.""Who are you? I'll do what I want!"Captain Pike and some of his men walked over the sugar leaves towards the treasure.The leaves had rum on them, and Queen Alliana set them on fire with her torch.The pirates and the treasure were in the middle of a circle of fire, unable to move."You see, Captain, your eye for treasure has kept you from seeing what you should see.It's always the same with such men."Captain Scott, his men and the natives came out from behind the trees and houses to fight the pirates.They put out the fire, and Captain Pike with his six pirates standing next to the treasure took out his sword."I'll fight to the death for this treasure. No one'll have it if I can't."He and Captain Scott fought while the others watched."You won't kill me Captain."Theirs words were locked together and they were looking at each other fiercely.Captain Pike reached for a knife in his belt."Watch out Captain! He's got a knife."Captain Scott saw Pike's eye grow wider, then he fell back.A knife with blood on it was in the air.No one could see that Blackbeard's ghost held it.

Blackbeard's Treasure by Jenny Dolly词汇提示1.furious 盛怒原文Chapter VII: Queen Hanzani's StoryCaptain Scott did not understand what Queen Alliana was saying.He asked Mr. Stewart:"What do you think the Queen meant by saying that the treasure was cursed?""Sir, these islanders have a lot of strange beliefs. I think we should listen to what they say and leave the island.""But we can't leave without new sails. Surely they can help us there.""What do you suggest we do?""I'm going to have a talk with her.You go and look after the men."The captain knocked on Queen Alliana's door,then opened it.The Queen was sitting in a large chair with her eyes closed.She opened them when the captain spoke."Excuse me, Queen Alliana, but I would like to talk to you."She did not say anything."I don't know why that treasure made you so angry, but our ship..."The Queen raised her hand to stop the captain from talking.She stood up and walked to one of the walls of the room.She took a picture from it.It was a picture of the same woman in Blackbeard's cabin.Without her headpiece on, Queen Alliana looked exactly like her.She gave the picture to Captain Scott to look at."It's a beautiful picture of you.""It's not me, Captain. It's my great-grand mother, Queen Hanzani. She was once the Queen of this island and of all the islands in the Bermuda Triangle. She was a great and kind woman, but she died sadly, at a young age, from a broken heart.""Was her husband killed by one of your enemies?""We had no enemies at that time,except for the pirates who came to steal from us. The man she loved and married left these islands and changed into an evil person.""Does this have something to do with you not wanting the treasure we showed you?""Captain, sit down and I will tell you a story."The captain sat in a chair opposite the Queen.Her large, soft eyes made him feel very relaxed.He sat back in his chair and listened to her story.He saw everything as if it was all happening right there in front of him."When my great-grandmother was sixteen,she and a boy her age promised to love each other forever.So they married and sometime later that boy left the island. He said he was going to sail around the world and bring back all of the things which would make their life together perfect and happy. While he was gone, pirates attacked the island. They killed Queen Hanzani's parents and stole everything they had. Many people died because they had no food. Queen Hanzani found a way to make rum from the sugar plants so they could trade it with others for food. She made the island strong and soon all of the people,from all of the islands in this triangle, began working together so that the pirates would never do such a thing again. ""Everyone knew the Queen did this so her true love would have a home to return to. Each morning, she would walk along the beach to see if his ship was coming, and each morning she returned a little bit more sad.""When he finally returned, it was awful. He returned as a pirate with a chest full of stolen treasure. He wanted to give it to Queen Hanzani and take her away from the island to live with other rich kings and queens. She was furious."'Pirates killed my parents, and now you want me to touch stolen treasure?''But I did this for you, to make you happy.''Throw it into the ocean and live as we do and I will be happy.''Throw it into the ocean? After all the years I spent getting his? I was almost killed many times.'"There was a terrible storm; we call it the storm with the large face. The clouds were so large that they looked like the face of a man blowing on to the sea. The pirate ship was destroyed and now a ghost ship travels these waters with Blackbeard's ghost on it, watching the treasure he thought more important than love. My great-grandmother died in her sleep that same night. I wear this necklace to remember her. The pirate's ghost and his treasure are there to remind him, and anyone else who tries to take what is not theirs, that they will never be happy. You have that treasure Captain and you must take it from this island and put it back on that empty ship. Otherwise, you will never leave the Bermuda Triangle alive."

Clive Oppenheimer is a volcanologist, filmmaker and Professor of Volcanology at the University of Cambridge. His research has taken him on expeditions across the world, from Antarctica, where he discovered the camp of Captain Scott's attempt to reach the South Pole, to Ethiopia where he was held at gunpoint by rebels. Clive was born in London, and fell in love with rocks and the stories they tell on visits to what is now the Natural History Museum. His mother survived the Blitz in London and his father escaped persecution by the Nazis in Germany in the 1930s. On a gap year trip to Indonesia, Clive saw his first volcanoes and realised both their natural power and their significance in human lives. He studied at the University of Cambridge, and completed a PhD at the Open University.He has taken part in and led expeditions to volcanoes all over the world, including Indonesia, Italy and Ethiopia. He is one of few Westerners to have worked in North Korea, where he was invited by the government to study volcanic activity at the culturally significant Mount Baekdu. He has also made three documentaries with filmmaker Werner Herzog about volcanoes and their scientific, cultural and spiritual significance.

It seems Pike and his men took the Queen's gold but left behind the treasure we found on that ship.""How is the ship and the men?""Many men are hurt, sir. Our sails are badly damaged. We're now sailing to an island we've seen about two miles away.""Mr. Stewart, have someone watch that treasure. It's all we have left."The Queen Anne moved very slowly with all of its sails pulled down.The men were sitting or standing quietly along the deck as the ship anchored, a half mile from the beach.They were tired and hurt from the fight with the pirates.The sun was shining and the island looked beautiful, but the men were not interested.The captain came up on deck and began ordering the men."Lower the boats! I'm going to the island to see if we can get something to fix the sails. I want to take that treasure with us. We don't know what we'll have to give them."The island had a long beach of white sand with tall, green coconut trees on it.They pulled their boats up onto the sand.As they were deciding which way to go, they saw a native boy jump from a tree and run away.The captain spoke first."Let's follow him. He may lead us to his people."The boy led the men through the green hills of the island.He stayed far ahead of them but stopped whenever he wanted them to see him and follow.There were tall green plants on the hills, and the air smelled of vanilla."What's that smell? It smells like rum.""It is, and these are the sugar plants they use to make it. They break the plants apart and mix the rum in large barrels. It smells as if they're making sweets.""It'll be nice if we get to taste it."The men laughed as they walked on.When they came to the top of a hill looking down onto a village, they saw natives working near small houses made from trees and leaves.The small boy they were following ran into the village before them and everyone began looking up at Captain Scott and his men.They stopped what they were doing and waited for the sailors.A tall, dark and very beautiful woman in a white headdress was standing in front of the natives, waiting for Captain Scott.She had large dark, eyes and she wore a gold necklace with a green stone, just like the one in the picture on Blackbeard's ship.Her name was Queen Alliana, and she was the Queen of Rum Island.The sailors put Blackbeard's treasure down behind Captain Scott when he went to meet the Queen."I am Captain Scott of the Queen Anne from England. We've come here to trade our gold for anything you may have to offer, but we also have a problem. Our ship is badly damaged. We need to fix our sails.""Welcome Captain. I am Queen Alliana and this is Rum Island. Come and sit with us and show us what you have brought."The sailors sat in a circle around the treasure chest.Captain Scott sat next to Queen Alliana and all the men were offered a cup of the island's rum.When Captain Scott opened the chest and showed the Queen the shining treasure of jewels and gold, her eyes widened and she stood up."Where did you get that?""It's not really ours. It's something we've found on an empty ship at sea. Our gold...""Take it away! We do not want it here! It is cursed! The man who owns it must have it back. You must take it back to where you found it."The Queen waved her hand. All of the natives left and went inside their houses, leaving Captain Scott and his men alone.

Blackbeard's Treasure by Jenny Dolly词汇提示1.splash 水花2.fierce 激烈原文Chapter V: The Wrong ChestThe Queen Anne sailed for a few more days,but it couldn't find the Bermuda Triangle.The men were getting angry.Captain Scott heard more and more talk about the treasure, so he decided to call the men and speak to them."I know that a lot of you want to see these islands. I want you to know that you will be handsomely paid for this long voyage. Wait a little longer and you will be rewarded."Blackbeard's ghost was walking behind the men as the captain talked.Smith, the man who stole some of Blackbeard's treasure, was standing in the front where Captain Scott could see him.He still had the jewels in his pocket,and Blackbeard knew this.Because no one could see him, he put his hand in Smith's pocket and threw the jewels on the deck in front of Smith.The others thought Smith dropped something,but when they saw the beautiful diamonds and the gold necklace, they looked at Smith to see what he would say."Captain, I don't know how they got there. It was him that put them there."He pointed at a man.He was the man who had helped him carry the chest aboard."You're a liar!"They began to fight, and the other men joined in.Some of them wanted to stop the fight,but others tried to take the jewels from the deck.The captain quickly took the jewels before anyone else could.The men didn't stop fighting with each other until they heard the man in the crow's nest shout 'Ship!'They looked and saw the black flag above the sails of a ship coming towards them, but they didn't know it was Captain Pike.Captain Scott looked through his telescope,then called to the men: "Enemy ship approaching! Open the cannons! Prepare to fight!"The men were running to different parts of the ship when Captain Pike's ship fired a cannon.Aloud 'boom!' was heard, but the cannon ball missed and landed in the water, making a big splash next to the Queen Anne.Another cannon was fired.This one hit one of the Queen Anne's sails.The Queen Anne fired back, and the battle began.It was a fierce battle.The sails on both ships had holes in them and were on fire and there was black smoke in the air.When the ships were close enough, the pirates used ropes to jump onto the Queen Anne.All the men were fighting with swords, so there was no one to watch the treasure.Captain Pike jumped on board the Queen Anne.He went below with two of his men where Blackbeard's treasure was.Captain Scott saw them below and followed with his sword in his hand.Captain Pike turned to fight him."I know you've got that treasure and I'm not leaving without it.""You will die before you touch apiece of what's behind that door!"Blackbeard was watching all of this.He followed Captain Pike downstairs, and when he had the chance, he hit him over the head with a piece of wood.Captain Pike was surprised.He didn't know what happened."Quick, open that door. Now!"Pike's men broke the door open and Captain Pike opened both chests.He left the Queen's gold pieces and put his hands on the shining jewels of Blackbeard's treasure."Look at these beauties! I've never seen such colors. Blue diamonds, pearls, red rubies!"Blackbeard closed the top down on Captain Pike's hands and he screamed in pain."Good God! Open it! Open it!"His men helped open the chest, but both Pike's hands were badly hurt."Take that one with us. We'll comeback for the other later."Captain Pike was looking at his injured hands.His men were very surprised at what happened.So, they picked up the wrong chest.It was the chest with the Queen's gold init.Blackbeard was smiling at Captain Pike, knowing that no one would get his gold.He didn't know himself that they were leaving his treasure behind.So, he sat on the chest that the men took back to the pirate ship.

Are you trying to kill each other before we find the gold?""This one was trying to cheat us at cards. We can't have that, can we?""That we can't my friend, but we're waiting for a treasure much bigger than the one you play cards for. Put him in the stocks for a day and let him think about things there."The stocks were two pieces of wood with three round holes in them.The men placed the prisoner's head and hands in the holes.Then,they lowered the top and they locked him inside.He had to stand up the whole time.Captain Pike was standing next to his First Mate, Santiago, at the wheel of the ship.Santiago asked him about the danger of finding Blackbeard's Treasure."They say no one can take Blackbeard's treasure. Why do you think you can?""I think that Blackbeard and I are the same kind of pirate. He wanted everything,and he knew how to get it. When I see that treasure, when I put my hands on it,there's nothing that can make me lose it."There was a pirate in a small seat above the sails, looking at the ocean through a telescope.This was called the crow's nest, and he was the first to see Blackbeard's ship sailing ahead of them.He whistled to the men below:"Ship,straight ahead!"Captain Pike put a telescope up to his eye.He saw Blackbeard's empty ship, then yelled to the man who was steering."Go straight for it! This is what we're looking for!"Captain Pike and some of his men went aboard the empty ship, but they couldn't find any treasure.Santiago thought they made a mistake."Maybe this isn't Blackbeard's ship. It could be a ship lost at sea.""There's only one way to find out."Captain Pike went below to Blackbeard's cabin and Santiago followed him.It was dark and the captain had to light a candle.He walked with the candle to one of the cabin walls where there was a round, old picture of a woman.She was a beautiful dark woman with large, dark round eyes.Her black hair was tied at the back of her head, and she had a gold necklace with around, green stone around her neck."Who is it Captain?""It's a woman who was once the Queen of one of these islands. They say Blackbeard was in love with her. They say she was the reason for his death. He came here to marry her and give her all of the jewels he had. No one ever saw him again, and no one's ever found the treasure. This must be his ship."They went upstairs and Captain Pike told his men to begin taking up the boards on deck to see if the treasure was hidden and where.While the men were doing this, Pike saw a clear rectangular spot left by the chest after Captain Scott took it.The whole deck was grey and dirty except for this one spot where the chest was for so many years."Stop!"The men stopped searching and looked at Captain Pike.He raised his hand in the air and looked at the clean spot on the deck."Someone has been here before Us!"

Blackbeard's Treasure by Jenny Dolly词汇提示1.pipe 烟斗2.trouser 裤子原文Chapter III: The Queen AnneAll the men of the Queen Anne were waiting on deck when Captain Scott returned. One of them yelled to the boats after he saw the chest."What have you brought us there, Captain?"Another man answered: "It's gold and rubies and diamonds!"The captain didn't want the men to get too excited, because he didn't know if he should keep the treasure."That's enough. I want that treasure taken below with our own gold until I decide what we'll do with it."Two men carried the chest below with Blackbeard still on top of it.A man named Stubbs spoke to the captain about the treasure."Will we give a little of it to each of the men for the long journey?""I don't know. I've got a strange feeling about that treasure, but I'm not sure why. I think it's better to leave it alone for a while.""But Captain, we've been sailing for seventeen days and we still haven't seen an island. The men need some encouragement.""The men shall carry out their duties and be happy with that. They will get exactly what I promised them."The two men who carried Blackbeard and his treasure below put the chest down to wait for the captain.One of the men, Smith, sat on the chest to tie his shoe.The other was standing, smoking a pipe.Blackbeard stood and watched the men with a smile on his face.He knew they couldn't see him, so he knocked Smith's hat off his head.Smith thought the other man did it."What do you think you're doing?""What are you talking about?""You knocked my hat off.""You're crazy. I was standing here smoking my pipe."The men were about to fight when Captain Scott walked down the stairs."What's going on down here?""Nothing,Captain."The Captain opened the lock on the door."Put it inside next to the Queen's gold."The Queen's gold was in a chest the same size as Blackbeard's treasure, but it looked new.The wood was clean and the lock on it was gold.Blackbeard's chest was old and grey.Blackbeard watched the men put the chest down.Smith stayed behind when the other man left.He opened Blackbeard's chest, took out some of the treasure and put it in his trouser pocket."Smith!What are you doing in there?""Coming Captain!"Blackbeard followed Smith out as the captain locked the door.

It is the seventeenth day of our voyage and still no island in sight. The men are beginning to complain, and I am afraid they are going to create problems.A knock at the door stopped the captain from writing."Enter.""Captain,a strange ship is sailing towards us. It has no flag so we don't know where it comes from. They need you on the bridge.""I'll be up in a moment."The crewman closed the door and the captain wrote one more sentence in thelog-book.Our luck may have just changed.The strange ship was half a mile from the Queen Anne.It looked old and abandoned.The captain brought his telescope up to his eye."Sail close to it and we'll see if anyone is on board."One of the crewmen flashed alight three times quickly, waited one second, then flashed it two more times.There was no answer."Open the cannons and sail next to it."The strange ship moved slowly through the water; there seemed to be no one onboard.The sails had holes in them, and there was broken wood all over its deck.The captain called over to it."I am Captain Scott, serving Her Majesty the Queen. If anyone is aboard, state your name and who you serve."There was no answer."Lower the boats! We're going aboard!"Captain Scott and twelve of his men rowed two small boats from the Queen Anne to the empty ship.A rope ladder was hanging down from the ship's side.The captain and his men used it to climb on board.There was no one on board.The captain and his men looked around the ship, but they found nothing.There was no one at the wheel, but the ship somehow continued sailing."I've never seen anything like it, Captain.""Neither have I, and I don't like it. Let's follow it and see where it goes."They were ready to leave, when one of the men saw a chest, at the side of the ship, under some old fishing nets.They took off the nets and broke the old, black lock.Inside,they saw beautiful shining diamonds, pearls and gold.The men were stunned into silence.The captain looked at one of the gold coins.It had the picture of King Edward VI on it."This coin is over one hundred years old. It is not even in use anymore.""What should we do with it, Captain?""I don't see why we should leave it here when there is no one on board. Close it and we'll take it with us."When all the men were looking at the treasure, something like a black shadow came to the top of the stairs going down to the cabins below.It stayed back in the darkness of the stairs until the men moved the chest to their boats.No one could see it, but the shadow was really a ghost that looked like a pirate.He wore a long blue coat and had a shining silver sword at his side.He had a red scarf around his head and a long thick black beard.He followed the men to their boat and sat on top of the chest.No one could see him, but it was Blackbeard, and the treasure was his to watch.

He came to the steamboat companies asking for a job, and they laughed him off. So he built his own boat on a shoestring budget — then used it to eat their lunch on the upper Willamette run.

Polar exploration is dangerous... but trudging hundreds of miles in subzero temperatures isn't made any easier if you're suffering from scurvy. The deadly vitamin deficiency destroys the body and will of even the strongest and most determined adventurer - and it seems that scurvy stuck down the ill-fated expedition of Captain Scott.  But scurvy... in 1912? Hadn't the Royal Navy to which Scott belonged famously cracked the problem of scurvy a century before, with a daily dose of lime juice? How did the 'Limeys' seemingly unlearn that lesson?  For a full list of sources go to timharford.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Roald Amundsen beat Captain Scott to the South Pole. The Norwegian - using dog sleds and skis - made it look easy... fun, even. He was heading home to safety, while the British party - hauling sleds by hand - were struggling to survive out on the ice. In this case, to the victor went a spoiled reputation. The British grumbled that Amundsen had somehow cheated, or had at least behaved in an underhand manner. These stinging accusations would haunt the adventurer until the day he died in the polar wastes. For a full list of sources go to timharford.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
