-Birdie sat in the shade of the last sago palm. It was the edge of camp. After the palm was the shore. She watched the ocean from the top ridge of the dune, squinting in the bright light of the midday sun. Birdie's real name was tk, after her mother's sister, who was down at the shoreline, pulling in a fishing net with Birdie's own mother. Birdie had helped them cast out the net and secure it to their buoys earlier in the morning. Now she was waiting. Waiting for her brother to play, waiting for her sister to return, her cousins to be done with their chores. She glance up the beach toward their camp but there was no sign of Charles or Samuel. She sighed and plucked a sea oat and began to break up the stem.

-Down the beach she would see the single mast of the Arkhangelsk. She was a 22ft Bermuda sloop that had been taken by the Whydah and put ashore with a small crew to careen and re-tar. Unfortunately for the Ave Marie, as she was known at the time, her hull was too worm eaten and split even for the quality of tar Birdies family was know for.

-The captain of the Ave Marie had disagreed. While the rest of his crew shrugged and went off fishing and hunting, the captain stewed until finally he'd strode into camp one afternoon shouting for her father, who eventually appeared. There was a good bit of quarreling in several languages until at some point Birdie remembered the captain drew his sword and her father had gone very quiet. Her mother had pulled all the children inside the thatched home the shared for the summer, but Birdie had found a crack in the palm fronds and watched as her father walked very slowly forward until he had placed his neck against the captain's sword, which had been so unexpected that the captain had not noticed her uncle tk had slipped quietly up behind the captain and put a pistol to the back of his head.

 In the end the captain tried to laugh and pass it off, but he was clearly still angry. The last she or anyone else had seen of him he'd been marching off up the road to Charles town. She'd been worried about him coming back for several nights, refusing to sleep outside until her mother finally coaxed the problem out of her. "Sweet girl, you don't need to worry," her mother had said, "he's gone."
 
 And indeed he never came back. The Ave Marie had been left where she was when the family departed for their winter camp in the south. When they came back this year they found a storm had pushed the ship high above the tideline, and filled her hull nearly full of sand. She listed considerably to port, but was plenty straight enough to climb about what was left of her decks and bones. 
 
-She had been commandeered by Birdie, along with Lulu, Henri and their cousins from up the beach, Charles and Samuel, and Tamba and Kadiatu's boy Cuffee. They'd spent the summer in her, every free moment they had, sailing the sands of the island, re-christening her the Arkhangelsk.

They had voted, as free sailors did, and she had been elected, and only voted out once, when Lulu called a new vote after Birdie had ordered all the boys over the side to raid an enemy ship for the hundredth time, holding Lulu back. But Lulu's term as captain had lasted only a few days before Henri called a vote that put birdie back in charge, and set the boys, along with Lulu, over the side to attack the forts and town of the coasts they sailed.

+At the helm Birdie was de Graffe, fearless and fair, loved by the crew. 
 
 
 They crested the last dune before the beach and all went tumbling, cartwheeling down to the firmer sand of the shoreline, along which lay the
