A pirate captures a gypsy scow, and a gypsy foretells that the captain's experience tomorrow will be to be stuck in a gale and arrested by the Spanish army. A day goes by uneventfully, but the next day, the prophecy comes true and the captain resolves to hunt down the gypsy for working her magic on Thursday instead of Wednesday as she said. His Spanish jailers inform him that it is Wednesday, as the gale has pushed his ship across the international date line.
