Chapter 4: Introduction

Chapter 4 is half truth and half fantasy. My uncle told me about climbing the smoke stack at the sugar cane mill in Punene, Maui. He froze at the top in terror. My Uncle also told me about the boys teaching the parrot bad words. That really happened and the parrot disappeared into the Christian Brother's house never to be seen again. The pirates are made up, but there really were pirates in the olden days in Hawaii. I keep hoping a publisher might read these stories someday and want to put them in a book.
