Birdie struggled to help Pio with the giant wheel of the Elven ship. It took the two of them to even get the wheel to respond, and the two vessels pitched and reared on the waves like horses in stampede.

"We were fools!" screamed Birdie over the shrieking of the wind."Did we really think the Blue Wizards would stand and face our swords and slings! They'll smash us and send us all to the bottom!"

Suddenly, Pio raised her voice above the waves and called in a clear voice: Ulmo! Lord of the Waters. Help us and preserve us!"
And Birdie joined in, invoking names she never realized she knew: "Ossë! Uinen! Vassels of Ulmo! Help us!"

At that moment the ship pitched violently to the left, as a massive wave slammed into it's side. Birdie lost her hold on the wheel, fell flat on the deck, and slid helplessly towards the railing!
