	The British Garrison ~~at the Burami Oasis~~ is under constant ~~siege~~ from ~~Arab bandits led by the notorious Sheikh~~ Rattle and Roll. A British ~~gunboat,~~ HMS Thespus, ~~under~~ the ~~command of Admiral Ned Seagoon~~ is ~~dispatched to~~ the ~~oasis to restore peace to the area. One problem exists~~, ~~however: how~~ to ~~get a gunboat into an oasis only ten feet long. Further to that~~ the ~~Arabs have stolen the water whilst disguised as sailors~~. ~~At gunpoint the Arabs refuse to give the water back, and when threated they drink it only to find out that it's actually Bloodnok's gin!~~

			The Burami Oasis situation has deteriorated. The British Garrison is under constant attack from Sheik Rattle and Roll Ar Leg. Now the British Government decide to play their trump card – Admiral Neddie Seagoon in charge of HMS Thespus. Broken up into four-inch squares, the 42,000 ton battleship is packed into crates cunningly marked ‘Date Fertiliser’ and, with the Admiral, despatched to the Burami Oasis.
