This is the best summary I could come up with:
Well, that's exactly what's happened when three schoolchildren in Scotland had their letters discovered by a woman who was taking part in a beach clean.
"The girl who drew the map had cleverly used wax crayon as the outside wrapping so it had protected it from some of the water that had managed to seep in."
One of the notes that came with the bottle said they have been held captive by the "terrible Miss Elder" and makes them do "awful work like sums"!
Jenny dried the messages at home and found they were still readable and she even managed to track down the three girls who wrote it - they are now adults!
"It said they'd been taken captive on this HMS WPS, and it explained that this stood for Wormit Primary School."
The school friends think they wrote the notes as part of a project when the topic of pirates was being studied.
