How long do we require to ready your ship for duty? As long as it takes me to Harlanka, sir. Uh, convoy, Mr. Secretary. Uh, better than that. You are familiar with these waters? I know the Caribbean as well as my own quadrantx.

Actually. Somewhere in these waters. There is a French fluke of war. The Harplur. From all available reports, you carry twenty guns more or less. And she has taken her sunk at least ten of our merchant men.

She has to be stopped. We can have at this time a board war with either France or England. Therefore, you will, under no conditions, attack. And that absolute proof is offered of an aggression against one of our ships or your own.

Exactly. But she'd hardly be likely to open fire on a merchantman under our noses, sir. She would not get them. That's those are your orders. Yes, sir. When do I sail, sir? You will proceed with all haste to the Bahamas Group vicinity.

The half-laws seem to operate from a base situated near there. Very well, sir. I wish you luck, sir. Thank you, sir. Good afternoon. Good morning, sir. Mr. Quent. Morning, sir. Mr. McCreck, you've charted the course.
