I looked into the cabin from the porthole, and found him getting drunk, as usual.

I waited patiently, till he got up to relieve himself.
Slipping into the bathroom after him, I caught his neck in a choke-hold from behind, and started pushing his face into the commode.
He was much bigger than me, but all that rum had taken a toll on him.
I somehow managed to overpower him, and flushed, once…twice…and then, brought him up with a jerk.
Then, turning his head around, I shouted, “Sober up Captain Haddock, I’ve finally found the map to Red Rackham’s Treasure.”

Good one Anurag ☺️
Thank you so much Meha
Who knew Tintin had it in him?
Desperate times, as they say…
Tintin?
You can’t have a drunk captain when there’s treasure to find.
Steady on Tintin! Don’t remember that scene from the book 🙂
Ha ha – I wasn’t expecting that last line! Nicely done, Anurag.
Susan A Eames at
Travel, Fiction and Photos
🙂 Great last line.
Thank you so much YS
What a great twist… That little redhead is stronger than he looks! Fun take.
Thank you so much Dale
what a fun take.I enjoyed it. Always loved Tintin. 🙂
Thank you so much Priya, so did I.
Some way to sober him up. Did he become sober?
I sure hope so.
Yep, that’s the way to handle him.
Ha ha ha, thank you so much Alice
hahaha that was quite a way of getting someone sober
That’s one way that has some chance of working I guess.
My favourite adventurer and reporter since childhood acting this bold, my goodness. Good one, Anurag 🙂
Thank you so much Piyali.
Haha! Billions of blue blistering barnacles and thousands of thundering typhoons! 😛
Ha ha ha, thank you so much Varad.
Should have gone for the treasure on your own, leave old Captain Haddock to his rum. A fun read.
Thank you so much James, but our Tintin would never do that.
Ohhhh, good one. Swirly to the Captain…nice touch!
Thank you so much Jelli.
What do you do with a drunken sailor? Stick his head in the toilet of course! Loved the twisty ending Anurag.
Thank you so much Susan.
What a way to sober up someone, especially your captain! 🙂
Thank you so much Anshu
Dear Anurag,
I seem to be the one who isn’t familiar with your characters. I Googled them. A good story nonetheless. Well done.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Oh Rochelle, not familiar with Hersheys adventures of Tintin (sung shouted in my most grandiose voice). Well, hopefully you are now. And Snowy and the Twins and…. and…
Ha ha ha, thanks for showing Rochelle the light Kelvin 🙂
Now that you know, you must give Tintin and his gang of quirky friends a chance to win your heart.
A neat little reveal at the end, just when I was wondering just where this was going.
Thank you so much Kelvin
Unexpected, kind of gross, but also very funny 🙂
Thank you so much Granonine.
So our hero successfully sobered sozzled Captain Haddock.
At least temporarily.
Excellent description of the scene and I love the last line!
Thank you so much Jan
I thought that Tintin had just gone sailing, now we know different, the twins will be wanting in on the action…
Ha ha ha, true that. Thank you so much Michael
Didn’t see that twist coming!
Thank you so much Lisa Rey.
