I Saw a Ship A-Sailing
Ship's Bounty - Protecting the Cargo
Again we see plenty of white mice dressed in red and white-stripped shirts;
however, here they are clumped together as if under more control by the
captain. The duck captain has a brown-feathered body and a green head
with a red-feathered hat on top. The ‘packet’ is on his side
rather than his back; it resembles more of a pocketbook than an explorers
backpack. The swirls of the rolling blue sea are mirrored somewhat in
the line of the sails, which, along with the line of the captain's wing,
points to the mouse at the top of the sail.The reader gets a peek into
the hold of the ship to see large baskets filled with apples and other
things either to trade or to bring to home port.
