The gunboat "Firkit" has moved down from Lake Edward, along the Antelope River in support of the Queen's Own Minifigs. The River here has three possible channels and unwary navigators must be careful not to go aground.
Lots of Natives about too! And did I mention the crocodiles?

| HM Gunboat Firkit on the Antelope. The Natives look restless. |
 |
| The gunboat swerves across the river drawn by a perverse current |
 |
| The Natives hit the boat with a volley of assegais and shots from those liberated rifles. The Captain falls to a well aimed spear in the eye. |
 |
| And the natives swarm aboard. Are these fellows painted or just undercoated. No shame! The crew are thrown to the waiting crocodiles. |
 |
| The gunboat is lost, found floating downstream a few days later, the only survivor is Bob, the ship's cat. |
