Come on, Salty. We'll go and see Miss Bowline-Hitch.

In you go, that's it.

# Tee-dee-dee... #

Go on, girl.

Ernie, it can't stay in here, it needs to be outside.

-Why did you have it delivered here?

-To keep it safe.

Why, is there a problem?

No, it's just... It's a bit heavy, that's all.

Anybody home?

Oh, Jack, Salty, come in!

-Thank you! Hello, Ernie!

-Jack.

-You're busy?

-Oh! Busy, busy, busy!

Ernie, back over there.

I thought you said you wanted it outside!

-Well, Jack needs somewhere to sit down.

-Right!

So, what is it, then?

I'm so glad you asked.

I'm absolutely thrilled with it.

-Ernie, can you bring it over here, please?

-D'you...?

-What?

-Perfect, thank you.

-Right.

-Hang on. No, no.

I can see it perfectly well from here.

Nonsense. Ernie loves this sort of work. Don't you, dear?

Um... Yeah, anything for you, Miss BH.

Aah... Oh! Oh!

You all right, Ernie?

Aye, I'm fine. Just feeling a bit dizzy, that's all.

I think I'm going to pop over to the Mermaid for a nice cup of tea...

if that's OK.

Oh, and richly deserved.

-We can sort out the right spot when you get back.

-Yeah, lovely.

Ha-ha-ha! So, what is under the sheet?

Glad you asked.

Ta-ra!

Ha-ha, it's a sundial!

Oh, it's the perfect addition to the village

and it's my job to sort the right spot for it.

People will be able to tell the time without looking at their watches!

A shadow falls on the number and that's how you tell what the time is.

But don't you need sunshine to make the shadow?

Well, yes, obviously! That's why I'm popping over to Emily

to see when it's next likely to be sunny.

Well, Salty and I need to do a bit of work on clocks too.

Don't we, girl? We've got a ship's clock to repair, see you later.

Miss Bowline-Hitch. Ahem! Good luck with the sunshine!

Toodle-oo!

There she is - the Rainbow!

What have you got for us today, my dear?!

Woo-woo!

He-he! Come on, Salty!

# Tee-dee, tee-dee! #

Here we are!

Come on, to your bed.

Good girl, Salty. Yeah. Ha-ha-ha!

You know what?

This old clock doesn't need the sun to make it work.

It needs me to fix it.

Yeah. Oh, well, we'll do it later.

You know what, Salty?

That sundial reminds me of the adventure

we had on that tropical island. Do you remember?

The one with the palm tree on the beach, ho-ho-ho!

Once upon a twinkly time,

the Rainbow set off from Staithes,

waved goodbye to Whitby

and disappeared over the horizon.

And as we sailed, we sang,

# Just Salty Dog and me

# Upon the silvery sea

# The waves are wavy

# The sea is blue

# There's tropical islands

And beaches too

# The tropical trees

# Were waving the breeze

# For Salty Dog and me. #

Ha-ha-ha-ha!

Well, eventually,

we stopped off at a desert island

to have a drink of coconut milk.

But there was something strange about this island.

It was covered in a large number of holes

and they'd just been dug.

Whoever would do that, eh?

Well, it became very clear when Salty noticed a shovel nearby

with a pirate hat perched on it.

It was that rascally pirate, Kitty Cutlass.

And she stepped out from behind the palm

brushing the sand off her hands.

"Ahoy, Jack!" she said.

"Kitty Cutlass!" I replied.

"What are you doing?"

"Digging for treasures," she grinned, with a glint in her eye.

"Old Seadog's treasure."

Salty's ears pricked up at the mention of Old Seadog,

but I had to explain to her that a seadog is not a dog at all.

It's the name for an old sailor.

But I don't think she believed me.

"Look!" said Kitty.

And she showed us a tattered message

which she'd found in a bottle.

It read, "Old Seadog's treasure.

"On One Tree Island my treasure lies

"Hidden from the weather and the skies.

"Buried in the shadow of the single tree."

Yeah, Kitty was definitely in the right place. One Tree Island.

And she had been digging in the shadow of the single tree

all morning, but without success.

The trouble was, as the sun moved across the sky,

the shadow of the tree moved too, like a big sundial.

So Kitty made us an offer.

"I will share half the treasure if you two shipmates help me dig."

Well, Salty seemed very keen on Seadog's treasure,

so we started digging.

But several hours and many holes later, we had found no treasure.

I was about to tell Salty that we should call it a day

when I saw that she was examining a bottle.

It was Old Seadog's bottle,

the one that the message had come in.

Salty had found something inside,

a small piece of torn paper, and would you believe it?

In a hurry to grab the message,

Kitty had ripped the paper

and left part of the message in the bottle.

This part of the message read,

"X marks the spot when the clock strikes three."

Pop! Of course!

It was the last line of the poem.

"Buried in the shadow of the single tree

"X marks the spot when the clock strikes three!"

Well, I consulted my pocket watch and...what a bit of luck -

it was just coming up to three.

Well, as the watch chimed, the shadow of the tree

met with a pattern of shells

on the sand,

making a perfect cross.

"X marks the spot!"

So we started digging

and, very quickly, we came upon a treasure chest.

"Old Seadog's treasure!" Kitty exclaimed.

"I found it at last!"

What did she mean she'd found it?

But before I could ask her,

she'd nabbed the chest and started running down the beach.

"But you said you'd share the treasure!" I shouted after her.

Kitty, she just laughed at us.

She jumped onto her ship, the Hurly-Burly, fired up the engine!

While we rushed to the Rainbow

we leapt in and we gave chase.

But the poor old Rainbow wasn't built for chases.

She huffed and she puffed

and she puffed and she puffed...

And then...bang!

Once again, the engine broke down.

Salty let out a howl of dismay as she watched Kitty getting away.

"Awoooooo!"

Didn't you? Yeah.

Well, I think our fishy friends must have heard Salty's howl,

because, suddenly, behind the boat, up popped Mr and Mrs Cod,

Charlie Squid and Bluey the Whale.

"We are ready when you are," called out Mrs Cod.

"Aren't we, Harold?" "Yes, dear," said Harold.

And with that, they all gave a mighty heave.

And the Rainbow reared up and charged off.

Salty's whiskers whiffled like they'd never whiffled before!

Up ahead, the Hurly-Burly was getting closer,

we were catching up, but not fast enough.

And just then, we heard a flappety flapping above,

and, out of the clear blue sky,

appeared our lovely friend Brenda the Stalk.

"Special delivery!" she called.

She was holding a large coconut.

She flew over the Hurly-Burly and, with a perfect shot,

she dropped the coconut right onto Kitty's funnel.

"What are you doing?" said Kitty crossly.

And then, we realised what was going on.

The steam from the boiler couldn't come out of the funnel

because of the coconut.

Instead, the steam started to build up

and then, a startled Kitty heard a big BANG!

The boiler had blown up.

Well, the Hurly-Burly quickly came to a halt

and we were able to sail alongside.

"Hold it right there!" I said to Kitty.

"You said you'd share the treasure."

Well, she didn't really have any choice now, did she?

So she sulkily opened the treasure chest

as we thanked our fishy friends and Brenda for their help.

And then we all held our breath

wondering what the treasure would be like.

Imagine Kitty's surprise

when she discovered what was inside.

Dog biscuits!

"Dog biscuits!" she roared,

"I did all that digging for this! You're welcome to them!"

As she chucked the treasure chest high in the air.

It landed with a thump... Oh!

..on the deck of the Rainbow.

Kitty then stomped off below decks

to fix her broken boiler.

Well, Salty now had enough treats in that treasure chest

to last her a year.

So I guess Salty was right all along.

Old Seadog was a dog after all.

Did you like that story, Salty? Yeah?

All true, of course.

Mind you, my stories always are. Ha-ha-ha!

Come on, girl.

Oh, look, Salty!

There's Miss Bowline-Hitch.

Ernie must have delivered the sundial.

How is the sundial, Miss Bowline-Hitch?!

It won't work without the sunshine, Jack!

Well, that's a shame!

I mean, you and Ernie have put a lot of effort into that thing.

I do wish that sun would shine!

HE SNORES

Oh!

Oh, the weather's changed!

The sun's come out!

The sun is shining on the sundial!

It's pointing at three!

It's three o'clock!

You know what, then, Miss, don't you?

My sundial's a success!

No, no, no! It means it's time for tea and cakes at the Mermaid!

All right! I'll see you there! Just you and me!

See you there! Ooh!
