Airborn Post 5

The book is getting more interesting than before. After they realize this must be the island that Kate's grandfather had seen kate decides she must go find evidence of the existance of the winged cats that her grandfather wrote about. Matt resists going with her but he knows she will get lost in the dense forest and he was off duty so, he went after her. They walked around in the forest for quite a while and Matt started to get worried. He tried to get Kate to turn back by noting that there could be vicious and/or posinous animals around. She assures them that tropical forest have no such things. However, later they see a red snake that Kate thinks could be poisonous. It jumps at them and they scream and run away. The little red bugger jumps at them and keeps persuing, jumping all the way. They run for a while and then Kate yells that they need to get in a tree to escape certain doom. They see one with broad branches and quickly climb up, just in the nik of time to get out of reach of the red devil. It finally gives up when they keep moving higher up the tree. Once they see that the snake is no longer trying to reach them they turn around and see something amazing. They see a skeleton of an animal, claws clenched, wings tucked in, and cat scull staring at them, the animal from Kate's grandfather's journal.

Now, while the ship is on it's decline, the crew men are not making repairs fast enough because the gashes are so large and the holes are so numerous. Matt Cruse is also working near Lunardi, the boy who had taken the position he was supposed to get as apprentice sail maker and has to help him because Lunardi gets turned upside down in his harness while patching the hydrium cells. They get very close to the sea and are trying to stay aloft for a very long time when suddenly, an island appears in the distance and they make a daring landing on a sandy beach next to a lagoon on the island. When they arrive, everyone exits the ship and the captain gives a speach about how there will be enough hydrium to lift off again and, that people need to be a little patient while they unload cargo so they can lift off once more. The people are all sitting around not doing anything while the crewmen unload. After part of the unloading process Baz, Matt's friend and him are sent off to find a stream because they had dumped almost all of their balast and drinking water during their attempt to not sink to the bottom of the ocean. While on their way they see Kate taking notes in her grandfathers journal. Once they find the stream Baz goes back alone and Matt goes to talk with Kate. She tells him she thinks this may be the island her grandfather had seen on his trip. Matt is very sceptical but, after remembering a description of the landscape of the island he declares "We are here".

This book is at a pretty much constant pace of how long it is before something crazy happens again. There are now Pirates boarding the airship. The pirate captain's name is like zspireglas or something. I can not find the book at the moment. Anyway, the pirates come up in a tiny black airship and board the ship. They all have guns and the Aurora is only allowed one rifle so they do not stand a chance. The pirates proceed to have the crew wake up all the passengers and steal all their valuables. They then leave as promised but, not before killing the communications specialist who had tried to send a distress signal. They start to detach their ship from the aurora but there is a huge gust of wind. The small, black airship is sent right into the side of the aurora and their propellers get caught up in the auroras outer shell. They tear right through a huge chunk of the outer fabric and also through all the cells holding hydrium which is the gas keeping the ship in the air. The ship is loosing altitude and the sail makers plus Matt Cruse are frantically trying to repair the gas cells so that the ship stops loosing altitude. That's all for now.
