Kidnapped Blog Post 2

David is becoming suspicious of his uncle and feels like he wants to take Davids inheridance that is owed to his after his parents died and on top of that is tricked by his uncle. His uncle surprisingly gives him a "present" he had held for him since David was born. He precedes to tell David to go grab a chest from the side tower of the house which brings David to a dark stairway that could have injured him or caused his death. Ebenezer then says it was a little joke the next morning. That morning Ebenezer and David go to the harbor because the captain of the ship, Hoseason, needs orders from Ebenezer before he goes on his journey. While talking to the cabin boy, Ransome, tells David stories about how living on the ship, Covenant, isn't a good expirience. Ransome is abused by the navigator of the ship. Ebenezer and Hoseason come back from there little talk and they want to show David around the ship and David agrees because he is curious to see more of the ship. Before seeing more of the ship David is knocked unconsious.

This point of the book we are starting to realize how much of a bad guy Ebenezer is. First he tries to kill David by making him go on the stairs and then he arranges for his kidnapping on the Covenant. 

David wakes up in the brig of the ship and Mr. Riach comes to visit him. Hoseason wants to leave him to die and Mr. Riach isn't in agreement with him. David begins to know some of the sailors and talks to them and likes them better than he did before. Ransome, After hearing Davids story, says he'll write a letter to David's fathers lawyer or Mr. Campbell if he can. Ransome was killed by the drunk navigator of the ship and has gone completely insane for the fact that he killed the boy. now David is the new cabin boy and become accustom to the chores he has to do. He says that hes okay with his chores but hes becoming comfortable on the ship which confuses me. 

David gets his chance to escape. A French man, Alan Breck Stewart, has come onto the ship and David overhears the captin planning to kill the man. After running to tell the man David agrees to fight with him against the men on the ship.
