Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Where does Jacky land or dock the Morning Star?

Answer: On the beach between Howard's and Codman's wharves

"Any old port in a storm," Jacky thinks. She steers clear of Long Wharf because there are three British man o' wars anchored there and she doesn't want to get caught with the price on her head.
2. Which of the following is NOT something Jacky buys the first time in Boston?

Answer: The Lady Gay

Jacky's first stop is for things to outfit the Morning Star (now the flagship of Faber Shipping, World Wide). She also buys such items as a spirit stove, bedding, and some line, then her next stop is the post office to mail her letter to the London Home for Little Wanderers telling everyone she's okay.
3. What expression does Annie use upon seeing Jacky back in Boston?

Answer: Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!

"Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! It's Jacky!" Annie gasps. Jacky says she had planned on replying with something "arch and clever," but when she sees Peg, who is so dear to her, she begins bawling instead.
4. Randall was practicing at swordplay before running up the stairs to see Jacky.

Answer: False

"From the smell of hot horse on him, he has been riding," Jacky narrates. Randall, whose shirt is open at the collar, then lifts Jacky up a foot off the ground in greeting, the rascal.
5. What is Jaimy's brother's name?

Answer: George

Jaimy's brother, George Fletcher, "has become a skillful lawyer," and Jaimy asked him to help figure out the charges that were placed against Jacky.
6. Which song ends the Pimm's Girls Chorus performance at the boys' college?

Answer: The Sanctus

After the performance of songs "which were chosen to highlight our pure and wholesome natures," Jacky and the other Pimm's Girls are allowed to dance with the boys, who have hired a chamber orchestra.
7. What kind of bird does Dorothea spot the day before the fieldtrip?

Answer: A guillemot

Dorothea Baxter is one of the girls who enrolled in The Lawson Peabody School for Young Girls during Jacky's absence. She is very studious, and is Mr. Sackett's favorite student because she is so interested in science like he is. Noticing how much Dorothea admires her long glass for spotting birds, Jacky buys her one of her own the next day.
8. What is the subject of the first story Jacky tells to the girls while aboard the Bloodhound?

Answer: What happened after she left the Lawson Peabody

Jacky begins her story with the first lines of the third book in the series, "Under the Jolly Roger," so you can guess that she tells it the same way to the Lawson Peabody girls.
9. While playing Grandmother's Trunk, the girls end up naming only their childhood doll and the one dish of food they want most. Which doll's name is listed with "roast goose"?

Answer: Agnes

Grandmother's Trunk is supposed to be a memory game; each participant names something they would take to Grandmother's house, then the next person lists what has been said before and adds something of their own, but when it gets around the circle to Clarissa, she says she'd take her doll Sally Ann and a glistening Virginia ham.

After that, all the girls say what they'd most like to eat instead of burgoo. Barbara Samuelson says she'd take her doll Agnes and a roast goose.
10. Which of the girls betrays Jacky as the leader?

Answer: Elspeth

Elspeth has been miserable since she learned she is to be sold into slavery, and on the word that she will be set free and sent home, she reveals Jacky as the leader. Jacky is whipped, Elspeth is not sent home, and all the rest of the girls hate Elspeth for betraying their dear Jacky.
11. Does Jacky dream of being thrown into the sea with an anchor around her neck?

Answer: Yes

At the beginning of Chapter 30, Constance Howell is praying that the ship that was sighted earlier will save them. The dream continues until Sin-Kay orders them thrown into the sea so the crew won't be hanged for kidnapping, and only then does Jacky wake up.
12. What does Clarissa call Sin-Kay?

Answer: Mistah Stinkey

Clarissa torments Sin-Kay by laughing at him, pretending to be an idiot, and other things. After the whipping, Jacky warns Clarissa not to go too far with Sin-Kay or he might whip Miss Clarissa Worthington Howe, too.
13. Which crew member nearly catches Jacky when she's through the Rat Hole?

Answer: It never says

When the Rat Hole is big enough for Jacky to fit through it, she slides into the space beyond. It turns out to be a carpenter's room full of tools, and Jacky steals an auger to help make the Hole larger, which is when she is nearly caught by a grumbling seaman.
14. When the girls escape the hold for a short time, Clarissa Howe is the last one to be caught and brought back down.

Answer: False

Rebecca Adams is the last one to be returned to the hold. "I got all the way to the top of the highest mast before they got me. And I was the last one caught! So there!" Rebecca proudly announces.
15. Jacky makes a hangman's noose to scare the superstitious sailors. What does she call it?

Answer: Old Jack Hemp

"If you whip it around three or four times, it's called a slip noose, but if you put eight turns on it, ah, then it becomes Old Jack Hemp-the hangman's knot," Jacky says, and she twists it eight times.
16. What kind of wine is it that Jacky finds locked in the powder room?

Answer: Cônte du Rhône

Upon reading the label on the bottle, Jacky asks Lisette, "Do the words 'Cônte du Rhône' mean anything to you?" As it turns out, Rhône, France, is where Lisette was born.
17. How much do the bag-bombs weigh?

Answer: Approximately 10 pounds

"Yes, I could throw it to just about there. It'd be fun. Wouldn't those scum do some jumpin' around then?" Clarissa says.
18. Whose voice does Jacky hear coming from the cock's head on the handle of her shiv when she is delirious from her wound?

Answer: Rooster Charlie's voice

After Jacky cuts the horrid ribbon from Elspeth's hair instead of killing her, Jacky imagines the head saying, "I knowed you wasn't gonna do that girl that way, Little Mary. You always was too softhearted for work like that, you know you were." She faints from the infected wound soon after that.
19. What ship rescues the lifeboat full of "frail females"?

Answer: The HMS Juno

Jacky regains consciousness onboard the Juno, with her leg still attached to her body, thank goodness. Several of the other girls have found themselves dashing midshipmen and junior officers that follow them around, and Captain Rutherford decides to escort them all down to Boston instead of only to New York.
20. Who is the last girl to set foot on the gangway of the rescuing ship?

Answer: Jacky

As she sets her foot on the gangway, two bayonets cross in front of Jacky's face and the Captain says, "Miss Faber, by the order of His Majesty, King George the Third, you are under arrest on the charge of Piracy!"
