...er for a few dozen feet to get away from the boat unseen, but you simply don't have the air in your lungs.  As you pull your head up for breath, you hear the sound of a musket booming overhead.  Glancing up, you see the first mate hastily reloading his pistol while shouting "The boy's getting away! Drop a boat now!"

That's enough to put the fear into you and you break out, ignoring your pain, into a full sprint - swimming faster than you've ever swam in your life.  You aren't making much headway though, and you know its only a matter of time before they catch up to you.

Suddenly, you see a silver shape swimming around you!  In a panic, you think you've been spotted by a shark, but then a playful face pops up out of the water.  It's a dolphin!  Perhaps this is your lucky day?  You might be able to have the dolphin pull you to safety.  But, do you really trust a beast?  What if it tries to drown you or bite you?

Keep swimming, but head off in a different direction to confuse the pirates.

Uh oh. No one's written this branch yet. :o
