      The Mermaid's Crown - Andrea Phillips

      Episode 2: The Mermaid's Crown

      The monkey was a menace. It was widely agreed.

      Almost as soon as he was aboard, he began a campaign of mischief and thievery that struck terror into the hearts of the crew (or, to be more precise, extreme irritability). He stole small valuables and perched high among the sails, throwing the pilfered goods at passers-by. He lit matches and dropped them, leading to a number of small fires, until finally the quartermaster, Lia Feng, collected all of the matches on ship and locked them in her own cabin. We have enough time to pass them out for cannon if we spot another ship on the horizon, she said.

      On one notable occasion, the monkey filled up on grog and fell asleep in a barrel of flour, terrifying Slow Morris (the cook) when he discovered it, and subsequently the whole crew, upon their sighting its ghostly figure swinging drunkenly from line to line.

      We have to get rid of that thing, Mordecai told Lucy. He tugged at his red beard in annoyance. It's a menace! The assembled crew grumbled their agreement in this matter.

      Lucy refused to hear another word, however. The monkey is the reason we still have any hope at all of finding Captain Carver's treasure! And anyway he's not much worse than anyone else in the crew when it's been too long since we've seen land.

      This wasn't precisely true, but Mordecai wasn't inclined to argue further. Past arguments with Lucy had never ended terribly well for him, and he wasn't a big believer in persistence in the face of failure.

      The ship's navigator, though, took another tack. Pudding steadily tried to befriend the monkey, offering it tidbits of fruit, bon-bons from France, bits of dried meat and cheese, even rock-hard sea biscuits. The monkey ate all of it, but showed no personal gratitude toward Pudding for this show of generosity. The creature would gobble down a treat and moments later turn its nimble fingers to Pudding's sextant case, filling it with ashes or worse.

      The only person aboard the Relentless that the monkey seemed to care about in the slightest was Captain Lucy Smokeheart herself.

      In between bouts of mischief, the creature would spy on her, sleep near
