15-LIKE A FRYING PAN

LIKE A FRYING PAN "This ship is made of metal. The silver is so hot it's burning up," I explained. "All we need to do is turn up the heat. At high noon tomorrow, we'll start a FIRE. The whole ship will get as hot as a frying pan. The cats will jump overboard, and the ship will be ours!" Trap grinned. "I like it," he smirked. "We'll fry them up like catburgers at the Dog Heaven Grill!" "But the Black Bandit will just get into a lifeboat," Thea observed.

I laughed. "That's the best part," I explained. "Their lifeboats are made of silver, too!" Benjamin tugged at my jacket. "But, Uncle, what will happen to the cats? We can't let them DROWN!" he insisted. He is such a tenderhearted mouslet.
