For the next couple of days their followers were spotted at intervals. Apparently a sloope, a lineship and a frigate were still giving chase. Fiona and a couple of the others had time however to check out the cargohold – there were no more foreign sailors on board, but treasure was, lots and lots ofFortsæt læsning “30.

For the following I have had several reports to rely on. They aren’t completely consistent, but I believe I’ve managed to sieve the most unlikely tales from the truth: The Soleil (captained by Blair) and the Ienne (captained by Billy) waited down the channel beyond sight of the fortress, while Ernest, Jean Luc, N’Gote, HawkFortsæt læsning “29.

It was here in Cagliano that Fiona and her crewe first met Edward Baird, the son of the industrious Mr. Baird they had come across before, as my honoured readers will recall. He was the one who had arranged for Fiona and Hawk’s pardons. Today their meeting has a somewhat historical value and their commonFortsæt læsning “28. Joining the goode cause”

Back at Cagliano – the only official harbour now safe to them – the crew was paid and given shore leave. Jean Luc went to sell some of the cocoa beans to his shipping company and received quite a good price for them – enough to pay every crewmember what was due him and toFortsæt læsning “27.

With the beach in sight, Jean Luc fell into the grip of mad visions and when the anchor was cast, so did Dominique. As the longboat was lowered N’Gote fell victim as well, and with a small handful of scared, but still barely sane, crewmen, Fiona sailed to the beach and started digging a holeFortsæt læsning “26.

The Ienne returned to the island and the Ishwas bringing tobacco and rum with them. They found the chief in a cave, where he was making paintings on the walls. He was happy to see them, and thanked them for relieving his ancestors’ forest of the white men. He agreed to let two of hisFortsæt læsning “25. The end of Big Dick Lester”

Before they could sail to Port Fender however, they had to repair the ship. In the meanwhile Ernest joined Hawk on a journey across the island to see Phoebe Blackwell. She was severely distressed to learn of Captain Velasques’ demise in Punjab, and decided right off to go there herself. She wanted to see whereFortsæt læsning “24. Coggshead”

Fiona and her crew cashed in the smuggler ship – the Sea Dog – once they were back in Cagliano. £300 I believe they got out of their troubles. They picked up a job of escorting 3 merchants to Longpointe, which was on their way to Cousin Phoebe, who had yet not been told ofFortsæt læsning “23. The Fury”

In Port Vender (or Port Vendateir as it is also called) Fiona sought out the local bosses (the Gillows-clan) and asked for permission to hire amongst their men. For some reason or other they let her do so without any sort of commission – she must have argued her case well, for the Gillows-clan areFortsæt læsning “22. Virgin voyage of The Ienne”

First on their list of what-to-do was to find a way to survive the next days, and then try to find a way to Brest. The salvage-sum for the wreck they had towed in with them only reached to buy them bed and board for one day and some new clothes in stead of theFortsæt læsning “21. Cagliano”
