Synopsis:
A group of pirates intent on raiding the fishing village of Captain Olaf approaches. Jon meets them in a tiny boat. He battle valiantly alone against the crew, but is eventually overwhelmed by superior numbers.

The pirates strap Jon to the bow of their ship and continue to approach the village. Olaf cannot fire upon the ship because he fears he could hit Jon. Gunnda bravely dives into the water and swims for the ship. She climbs aboard and frees Jon. Together the pair fight off attack and steer the ship toward the rocks. The ship sinks, but Jon and Gunnda survive.
