let him sail on the
Scorpion as my navigator.
I have need of one
and at once.
When he comes back
with blood on his hands,
then he can hoist his own
black flag, but not before.
Your pardon, sir.
I didn't hear you come in.
That's all right,
master gunsmith.
For a moment there, I thought
I was getting a warm reception.
I'm in need of a good blade
and a brace of pistols
to be charged to
I'm only Williams
the foreman here, sir.
I can show you the arms,
but Mistress Stevens will have
to give her word about the charge.
Mistress Stevens?
Is she a gunsmith?
In a manner of speaking,
sir, she is.
And a good one, too.
But her father
was the smith.
When he passed away,
the business came to her,
along with his ship and his
rating as a Captain of the Coast.
That's very interesting. How'd
they come here in the first place?
Try this one
for balance, sir.
Thank you.
transportation to the Virginias
as a bonded laborer, sir.
Seems hard to think of a man and
his child being sold to slavery
for no more than the poaching
It doesn't quite
come to hand for me.
Maybe the blade's
a little long.
Try this Toledo, sir.
When Captain Roberts
and gave all as wanted
the chance to come here,
it was the best day's work
he ever did.
Yes, this is much better.
It's a beauty.
I'll take it. Why do
you say that, Williams?
It was Master Stevens
who fortified this port.
I didn't see any
fortifications when I came in.
Naturally not, sir.
Master Stevens did a
right clever job, he did.
Masked batteries, sir.
Every pair of them
set to cross fire.
I see.
That must be why the Portuguese
when they tried to come in.
You heard
about that, sir?
What sailor hasn't?
This place is said to be
a veritable deathtrap.
That it is, sir.
That it is.
made a Captain of the Coast.
If you've
a liking for these, sir,
we'll try them
in the clamps.
I don't think the clamps
will be necessary.
Got himself a ship, too.
Said a captain
ought to have one.
Of course,
he never went to sea.
Only had his share
in her ventures,
same as
Mistress Spitfire does now.
So that's how it was, huh?
They're all right.
I'll take them.
You've a hand, sir,
and an eye.
Thanks, Williams.
I've also an eye to inspect
those batteries one time,
having once been
an engineer myself.
You'll need permission from
the Captains of the Coast, sir,
seeing as how they're
guarded at all times.
If you could only see
the map of the port
in Mistress Stevens'
bedchamber,
you'd get an idea
of the master's cleverness.
