They crept through the halls killing crewman after crewman. Unlike their time on the island, they took this game seriously. Their still painted war faces morphed with concentration. Each boy seemed to have the strength of a grown man as they subdued each victim one after the other. By the time the crew had noticed the blood on the floors each boy was equipped with a knife and the bodies had been dragged into hidden coves throughout the ship. Those on the bridge of the ship (the captain and officers) were oblivious to what was happening right under their feet in the decks below. In fact, the only person not oblivious to what was happening was Ralph.
