Another picture shows the pirate boy looking warily at a treasure map. Text reads, “Rummaging in his loot, he got out a rag. Carefully he tied it around his head, attached a seashell, and covered his eye. ‘Great idea, Cap’n!’ said Victor the Vicious. Darien’s prosthetic eye was safe. But more disasters came as he tried to read the treasure maps.”](https://org-dcmp-staticassets.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/posterimages/17690_1.jpg)
