Night Creatures Page #6

Synopsis: In this engaging costume melodrama of skulduggery on the low seas set back in the 18th-century, the Royal Crown suspects a bit of smuggling is going on in this locale, and they send Captain Collier and his crew to check it out. As the Captain gets into his investigation, mysterious swamp phantoms cloud up the real issue which seems plain enough to see. Captain Collier suspects that the odd village vicar might be hiding something, and what better way to do that than by fortuitous ghosts to scare away the curious, or by posing as someone he is not?

More than likely.

You agree that it would be

natural for him to seek revenge.

Of course.

Do you remember the

first night you saw him?

Do you remember how he

behaved when he saw you?

He attacked you, didn't he? Why?

Because he recognized you, Capt. Clegg.

Clegg was hanged at Rye.

He's buried out there.

He was never buried,

because he's not dead.

Clegg's grave in the

churchyard is empty.

He was hanged, yes...

but look!

Lord save us!

Even your cloth can't sanctify

the mark of the hangman's rope.

Capt. Clegg, I arrest you

in the name of the King.

Bosun. Aye, Captain.

Wait!

You're right, Capt.

Collier, Clegg was hanged.

At least the rope was placed around

his neck and the trap was sprung.

But he had many friends.

The hangman was in the plot to

rescue him, and Clegg escaped.

But no man can stand upon the gallows

without coming face to face with his soul.

On that day, truly the old Clegg died.

What the new Clegg

has done, you all know.

When I first came here, I found

you in wretchedness and poverty...

deprived by harsh

laws and heavy taxes...

of the simple comforts all

men have a right to expect.

I took upon myself the

task of changing all that...

at the expense of the Revenue.

What I did was for the good of you all.

Take him.

Let him go.

Come on, Captain, on your feet.

Come on.

This way, lads!

Come on, Captain. You're doing well.

They'll never find us here.

That's right. Come along

now. You're doing fine.

We're not beaten yet, Captain.

Here. Just like old

times. Here, drink this.

Mr. Mipps!

Captain?
