[Last time...]
As Cve3 ran down the bridge stairs and across the main deck, the captain took his gaze back to the south…
“Someone’s hurt…by Gawd those pirates will pay fur thes! Och aye, they will pay!” The captain cursed under his breath.

[La Serpent...lower deck...]
Cockpit Officer Bleujay straddled the bewildered pirate Stank as she help the point of her dagger close to his throat…
“Whit a brammer surprise!” She said with a sarcastic smile as she pulled a roll of silver out of his vest pocket, “You may consider it a privilege to donate these in service of the Royal Scottish Navy!”
Stank was too terrified to speak but nodded in mock curtesy.
“Onie mair swatched silvers pirate?!” She demanded sternly.
Stank shook his head ‘No’ with sincerity. Just then, Commander Kerrislravenhill came down the corridor…
“Git heem oan hee's feet!” She ordered as she held her black Ninjatu sword threateningly over Stank’s head.
As Bleujay jumped to her feet and dragged the frightened man upright, Stank spoke quickly…
“Please! Don’t kill me! I can give you valuable information!”
Bleujay glanced at Kerrislravenhill as the Commander nodded.
“Let’s git heem up-top! Th’ rest o’ his ceilidh hav gart-aff wi' Standin' Officer-Carpenter Lupega as hostage!”
“What?!” Lupega replied in disbelief.
“Aye, a sad turn o’ events. But they haven’t seen th' lest o’ th' Royal Scottish Navy!”
“Mebbe thes bloke kin help?!” Bleujay said, handing the roll of silver coins to the Commander.
“Och, he will help alright! Th' Keptin will see tae 'att!”
As they jostled Stank down the corridor towards the galley stairs his eyes grew wide as saucers…”Is the captain…a stern man?”
Kerrislravenhill and Bleujay only laughed as they moved him on.
[On the Silverton...main deck...]
The lone longboat arrived at the portside of the Silverton and a wide rat-line was rolled over the rail of the ship…
“We’ve got a wounded officer here!” Able Seaman Cve3 called up.
The captain was at the port rail quickly as he glanced down at the longboat with great concern…
“Git ‘att injured officer up top noo!” He ordered as Cve3 and Able Seaman Daveks nodded and helped Petty Officer Tamaralovelace with the climb.
“Ahoy, Keptin! thenk ye verra much! Tis prood Ahh am tae be servin' wi' thes braw crew!” Tamara called back.
The captain smiled a smile of relief as watched the three brave sailors scale the rat-line…”A damn braw crew!” He said under his breath.
Th' village o' Yoongstoon is under th' protection o' Fort Niagara. Named efter John Yoong at th' northwestern corner o' th' territory whaur th' Niagara river flows intae Loch Ontario. An area knoon tae th' indians fur hundreds o' years, th' French explorer la Salle ('Att dobber!) left his mark by buildin' a wee fort in 1670, less than a mile north o' whaur th' village noo stands. (We'll fash yerse aboot 'att when we git thaur!)
