[Dave disappears below deck. It doesn't take him long to locate the canons and get one ready. It takes him a few minutes to load it and then he sets off a warning shot. It fails. The small explosion doesn't even move the ball out of the canon. Obviously he didn't use enough gunpowder. Dave has to start all over again.
So he cleans it out and then shoves ten times as much gunpowder into the canon before lighting the fuse. This time the ball clears the canon, but it doesn't get very far. It shoots out about fifteen feet and then makes a nice plunk as it hits the water.]
