      Little Wolf

       Terror on the Shivery Sea

      Once again, the mysterious Captain Froshus, Master of The Seafox is gaining a reputation as the most ruthless and terrifying pirate ever to sail The Shivery Sea.

       cunning disguise

      It is said that Captain Froshus has gathered a harsh crew that includes polecats, stoats and vicious wild boars to do his dirty work. They specialize in cunning disguise, so for the moment, the true identity of the captain and crew remain cloaked in secrecy.

       witness speaks

      Meanwhile, yesterday, three miles off Noname Bay, The Seafox captured two fishing fishing-boats: The Kipper and The Slippery Eel. Ricky Walruss, mate of The Kipper, spoke to our reporter, once he was safely aboard the Swamplands lifeboat.

      “We had no chance!” he said. “We was just having a bit of a trawl, like, when we seen this schooner sailing up astern. She must have been lurking up a creek somewhere. We didn’t take much notice, seeing her crew was no more than a parcel of girlies wearing flowery dresses. Then snip my flipper if she didn’t hoist the Snarl and Wishbones and shoot our rudder off with a cannon ball! Then she come right alongside and after that it was Swish Swush Sploosh till I wound up in the drink, minus me wallet and me watch!”

       victim tells all

      Just before going to press, Wolf Weekly has learned from one of the victims of The Slippery Eel, Able Sealion ‘Honks’ Greymuzzle, that for several hours, he was questioned at pistol-point by Captain Froshus himself. The Captain kept asking what the Able Sealion knew about the hidden treasure of the legendary pirate, Blackfur the Backbiter. Recovering last night in a warm cabin in Riggly Creek, the stunned victim told our reporter that he knew nothing about any hidden treasure or any pirate called Blackfur the Backbiter. Asked to describe Captain Froshus, Able Sealion Greymuzzle said that he couldn’t see his face because he was wearing a mask. However, he spoke very softly, had big staring eyes and smelt strongly of pepper.

       warning!

      Be warned, readers! No vessel, brute beast or seaside home is safe from the heartless ways of these wicked plunderers. And the shaming fact is that among the whole shocking crew there is not one single wolf!

      Dear Em and Dee,

      Thank you for your very fast package saying:

      “Hurry up and set Smells a good example Pack up doing cissie reading and Run Away To Sea THIS MINUTE!!!”

      You say I MUST FIND that lost treasure of Blackfur’s for you sharply before that Captain Froshus gets his paws on it. But, if Captain Froshus finds it 1st, it is up to me to get it off him, so that I keep up our fearsum family name of Wolf.

      Yes, I got the tape of you singing. You say it is an old pack song, sposed to be from Blackfur’s time. It goes:

       Seek my treasure in the bay,Where the unicorn doth play!Those who seek without a map,Mind the teeth that snarl and snap!Lucky those who most do itch,Scratch, and lo, ye shall be rich!

      Har har, good joke because listen to the funny words. Also, even bubbercubs know there is no such thing as unicorns, they are just a lejunds ledgend stories. Now Smells has burgled the tape off me so he can play it on his Walkwolf and do dancing.

      Yes, I do understand the most important part of your message. The bit about how all that gold and jewels ect. belong to you really because you are the nearest ancestors to Blackfur in the Wolf family, yes? That xplains the foamy photo of himself that Dad sent. I thought, funny, I did not know Dad liked shaving. But no, he was not shaving, he was just frothing keenly at the mouth being greedy, sorry.
