Across the delta .....

Red Jack and his men have to find there way across the delta to safety (continued from the previous post)....

---oXo---

As Red Jack and his men head into the delta, they encounter a small group of natives, who run off after a warning shot is fired ....

 The pirates move slowly across one of the larger islands in the delta ...

 the men at the front find themselves under attack from natives with spears, they shoot them down quickly before they can get too close ... but more natives await on the edge of next island ....

 Another group of natives has appeared behind the pirates, but hang back after being fired at....

 The local crocodiles fancy a bite too, but one gets in close and is dealt with ..

 The pirates move forward to the next island

 They engage natives across the water, some pirates are hit by bow, spear and musket fire...

 The natives then attack the pirates .....

 The pirates push back the natives ....

 The pirates cross to the next island, killing the last few natives and make their way through the deserted village....

 The natives behind the pirates, had been more cautious and not attacked, they just followed them...

 After making they way through the village they met up with some men from the shore party who had headed inland towards the sound of the gun fire...

Red Jack and his men made their way to the shore party's encampment with no more trouble from the natives; on arrival they had a hearty meal before rowing out to the ship.
