My cat loves me *simper* she brought me half a mouse!

Todays snippet despite mouse guts on my CTs:

Kit considered that for a moment, tapping the points of the compasses against his lips then altered the course half a point to the west. That would take them closer still to Nevis and the English naval base. How much help that would be he had no idea but...

There was a shout above followed by a rush of feet. Kit frowned and turned from the chart table but halted as the cabin door opened and the captain stepped out, checking the priming on one of his pistols. He too halted when he saw Kit and he nodded and thrust the pistol into a fold of his sash.

“Stay below,” he ordered, sneering as he added. “I wouldn’t want your delicate sensibilities to be offended.” Then he turned and ran up the stairs. Kit heard his voice shouting orders as he reached the deck.

The sudden shocking boom of a gun brought back a vivid mental image of the master and helmsman of the Hypatia shredded and splashed along her deck, and Kit ran for the stairs too.

Just hope she hasn't left the other half somewhere for you to find later as an extra treat.
