6264 The small armed rowboat approached the small island in search of treasure. At a signal, the boat would inform the Skulls Eye of treasure or natives. The boat was pulled to shore and the two pirates began to dig.
There was a familiar, swift, air-catching sound and one of the pirates saw an arrow stick right through his comrade. He knew he'd be an easy target rowing back, so he took his pistol and looked around for natives. In the distance he saw a statue formation and the pirate realized it was an Islander outpost.
He scrambled into his rowboat and made his way toward the statue. If he could dispatch the natives and get any treasure he would be a lucky pirate. He shot his gun at a native, missed, and shot again before he could get his senses back. One was down, no more to be seen.
Familiar with the secret devices in Islander statue heads, he carefully flung open the passage. He loaded the chest he discovered and started back but discovered the Skulls Eye was already in a battle.
In all the fighting and confusion, bullets hit the rowboat, sinking it and the treasure to a place never to be found.


I was a stupid, impatient kid when I got this set. I had saved for the Enchanted Island and when I went to the store they didn't have it. I should have waited, but no, I had to go for something else. The Forbidden Cove.

Well, this set didn't disappoint me. It had enough for a basic Islander supplemetary. Things I especially like are the Islander canoe (which I have lost by now), the blue plate, drum, green vines, and I liked the swiveling statue head!
The set is on a blue half-plate. There is a cove that both boats can go through which is covered by a statue head. It can be turned out of the way for access to the cove. Above this head is a post where Islanders can stand guard.

The set includes a brown rowboat, two pirates (pegleg with ripped up shirt and a skull hat, green legs with striped shirt and bandana), two islanders, a parrot, palm tree, an alligator, and a drum with a pre-printed round white tile that looks like some kind of animal skin.

There isn't much else to say about the set. Its only function is the statue head.
