However, they did capture her, and with no loss of life since all of the pirates gave up at once, and so she had to be sailed back to Port Royal and turned over to

Fantastic, as always. I was missing poor Rothwell. I love that his first consideration is his clothing. It amused me, and gave reason for me to say to myself, 'Oh Rothwell', as if I knew him. Very good writing, as I have said before, and I look forward to hearing more!

I had to take time away from writing for two reasons: I was entertaining guests at home, so I didn't have posting time, and I was also trying to look up more info about who Rothwell's patron might be. It's tough trying to get lists of the folks in the Navy during that period.

Should be moving right along now, though :) Thanks for reading as always.
