Only Paul and Jason know it’s true. “Who else was in the captain’s cabin when you saw this ‘ghost’?” the policeman asks. “Only Blackjack,” the boys answer. “Who is Blackjack?” asks the policeman. “Another pupil in your class?” “Blackjack’s not a pupil,” the boys say. “He’s the captain’s cat. He was in a fight with a big rat when the ship was in China … .” “That’s right!” says the guide. “Blackjack was the name of Captain Moodie’s cat! I found that information in my book! And Blackjack lost his ear in a fight with a rat! But – how did you boys know that?” The Cutty Sark is a museum in Greenwich again, now, so you can visit it if you go there. Nobody understands how the museum ship sailed down the Thames on the day of class 7B’s visit. And nobody really knows where Blackjack the cat suddenly came from, or where he went. Is the boys’ story true? Lucy doesn’t know, and Mrs Sanderson doesn’t want to take class 7B on another school trip. Only Paul and Jason know that something very strange happened on the Cutty Sark with Captain Moodie that day.
