This causes Flapjack to believe it is his fault that they could not navigate the map. He and K'nuckles, instructed by Bubbie, go to school in order to receive an a basic education in navigation. However, a more devious plan is being hatched in the schoolhouse that the adventurers are unaware of. When they assume that Bubbie has been kidnapped by a group of foreign sailors known as the Snarks, Flapjack and K'nuckles sneak aboard their ship to locate her.
