Falklands Deadline - Conclusion to Leonard Gibson's Story
By Ed Zaruk
Thursday, November 26, 2009

Rated "G" by the Author.

Margaret Thatcher’s instructions were concise and clear. "Devote whatever resources are necessary to find this document."

 

Conclusion to Leonard Gibson's Story

Parker and Gibson made for the bridge while Wingate started forward.  Parker found a local chart and worked out a course around Larsen Point to Cumberland Bay.  Once MacTaggart signalled the diesel was running, Parker walked over to the console and turned on the navigation lights.  It was all up to Wingate now.

Working his way forward along the darkest parts of the deck, Wingate had hid in a narrow alcove to prevent an attack by Erikssen.  He had a clear view of the red port light when Parker illuminated it.  Not wanting to run any equipment, he planned on using a fire axe to cut the line.  Two sharp swings parted the heavy line cleanly.  It snaked away with a slight whine as his axe struck the metal guide, ruining the blade.  A shrill ring, echoing in the night, was carried away by the wind.  Still carrying the axe, Wingate crept away in the darkness.
