"Anatole is about to catch up! We must speed up!"

The Second Prince shouted to Joshua, "Can we go any faster?!"

Joshua shook his head. "We're already at full speed."

Clang!

The warship suddenly shook violently, a side emitting a screeching, massive crash. Everyone hurriedly stabilized themselves and ran to the side of the ship to check, discovering a large hole in the side through which river water was furiously rushing into the lower hold!

"No good… it's over!"

A sailor rushed onto the deck in a panic, "The steam chamber... the steam chamber is leaking!"

Marvin's heart sank. Without the power of the steam engine, the massive Ditch Number warship's speed wouldn't just be decreased by a fraction, it would be significantly slower. Escaping Anatole's pursuit had been difficult enough, and now it seemed impossible.
