Evans,

I am going to cob you myself. Do you think I'm stupid? I asked you to put the reports in my office, and I know that means that you were the one to leave that horrible, smelly, rotting fish in my desk.

I swear, I'll see to it that you'll still be a Midshipman by thirty, and that you'll never make it anywhere in the Navy. This sort of amateurish puerile jokes are not tolerated in the Navy....at least not if they can be successfully traced back to an individual. If you're going to attempt something like that, at least make sure you have the decency to not be caught, and if you are, that it is not me who was your target, otherwise I'll have you serving before the mast for the next decade before you can say, "oppression."

And stay away from O'Brien, he does not need your sort of influence.

-Cmdr Gillette



James,

I believe you left your hat in my office again, you really must take better care of it. ;)

Coming from the man who has lost how many? You've lost at least...two due to the fact of them having been shot off your head, and one to a prankster midshipman, not that I, of course know any names, and I seem to recall a time out drinking once, where you decided to play strip whist, and lost it...to me.

Besides, I'm sure that Theodore will back me up on this.

James



An unrelated note...what is everyone's problem? You are all to cease harassing Lord Beckett and his men. Yes, I know you do not like them, I don't care if you think they are a threat to us or not. Beckett is our ally against the threat of Piracy, and should be treated as being none different than you would treat anyone of the 2nd or 29th Regiments--and if you think that means you can harass him further, I'll sentence you to taking my place at one societies numerous upcoming gatherings--where you will know what it is like to be fed upon by sharks. If I have to lose one more man because his commission has been demanded, there will be hell to pay.

I would be much obliged also if Mister Morse was reminded that if said shoes have come to harm due to poor use, I shall have them replaced at his own expense. That'll set him right!

Tell you what--you go a whole day without mentioning her name, we'll take you to Madam Alia's. You'll love it there, trust me. Consider it a part of your...education. ;)

Way to go, mate! I'll buy you a drink if you return the shoes to Alderbury with dung on them.

Having decided not to partake in your... interesting game of whist, it would be remiss of me to get involved. But Wesley, you did lose your hat, and James, you should be careful lest Wesley decides to use yours as target practise.

Oh, and James, that East India Company clerk has been harassing regarding harbour duties again.

Sirs,

I must admit a measure of concern about Major Forsythe, for he has been behaving in a most peculiar fashion of late. He has spoken to neither myself nor Lieutenant Forster about his thoughts or plans, which is highly unusual for him. Being as Forster and myself are his only lieutenants, I fear something is amiss.

Has he, by chance, made mention of any ill-natured thoughts to any of you fine gentlemen? I have not seen the Major this distracted or in this poor a temper as long as I have known him.

Yours, &c,

A. Cartwright, First Lieutenant, Marines

Mister Evans,

What the devil have you done with Lieutenant Alderbury's good shoes? I swore I left them stowed in my sea-chest, but they've up and vanished! Who else but you knew they were there, you swaggering dandy! Turn them back directly, sir! I'm not getting caned for your own mischief!

To All Sailors and Officers of His Majefty's Navy, and His Majefty's Marines,

Standing Orders, given on this date;


All men, who fhall seek to impede efforts towards the coordination of His Majefty's Navy and the Honourable East India Company, fhall suffer the harfhest penalty that can be conferred.

The Company is of the same mind and goals, and to be reduced to pointless squabbling with them, and actions against them, is to give pyracy the upper hand in this conflict. Harafsing or detaining Company men, without juft cause or reason, damaging Company property, seizing Company property (without the proper authority), and impeding their efforts to aid in the eradication of pyracy will be punifhed.

They are our allies, and as such, fhall be treated with the utmost refpect, and aided when they call upon us.

I am going to find out who did this. I'm going to find out who did this, and when I do, you were severely regret ever even thinking about even considering putting this drawing up. We are officers and men of His Majesty's Navy, and we do not go posting nude paintings about the fort. Do I make myself clear? There are civilians about...the Governor was due to visit the fort today...he, or any one of the other civilians could have seen it, and it is very possible that one did.

-Comm. J. Norrington

PS--I don't believe for one minute that Forsythe did it. He's smarter than to sign his name to this.




Wesley & Theo,

Did either of you two have anything to do with that...that...picture?

I should point out I have nothing but the deepest respect for the Midshipmen and the manner of their education. As Wesley pointed out, it is not of our doing should they happen to see what may be some of the Marines' "artwork".

Don't be coy. I've known both of you too long for you to pull that off on me.

Speaking of which, Wesley, your midshipman, Evans, was skulking around your office earlier. He seemed rather interested in noting when and when you are not in your office. Not that I need to remind you to keep an eye on one of your men...

Was he? Plotting something with those layabout marines, I shouldn't wonder. Indeed you shouldn't need to remind me of such a thing, though I will admit that that little terror has an infuriating way of avoiding notice when he's up to something.

Wesley



Whoever put that bloody disgraceful excuse for a note on my door deserves a good hiding. No-one seems to know where it came from, not even that layabout marine standing sentry outside your own office, James. That devil Evans has completely disappeared as well. The entire damned fort has gone mad.

Not a word about not being able to keep an eye on my own men, either, James. I would like to see you keep a good watch on Mister Evans.

Besides which, the note's author has terrible judgement. I'm certainly not ugly.

To whomever it might concern,


I am most appalled at the conduct of the marines of the Port Royal garrison. They have behaved with the most disgraceful lack of discipline and have shown nothing of proper obedience toward their officers - indeed I believe that they are easy with their captain as they are with their sergeants - and I am exceedingly dismayed by it. In particular I am greatly disgusted with the behaviour of one Corporal McIntyre, who dared to speak back to me as though I were a common private. He dared to steal a musket from one of my men and fired it in the barracks in a show of complete disregard for the many marines closely packed around him. Worse than that, his sergeant - his name is Myles I believe - stood by and did nothing except to treat the entire affair as nothing more than a joke.

If this is the manner in which the Port Royal battalion has conducted itself over the past months, I have nothing but the sincerest pity for the unfortunate townspeople who have had to endure such an ill-discplined rabble. The men are slack, disrespectful, and prone to brawling at even the slightest provocation and the officers grossly inept. I have to wonder how any of these men were ever considered worthy of the red-coat upon their backs.

The one consolation that can be taken by the arrival of men from my own battalion is that all of the ill that has been wrought by these Port Royal marines can be set to rights and the town given proper protection. If this battalion was not so awfully led and managed that the men were permitted to mutiny, I have no wish to imagine what indignities and injustices that these unfortunate townspeople might have been forced to suffer.

To all whom it may concern, including one Mr Stevenson,

As much as it pains me personally to speak any sort of word in favour or on the behalf for the lamentable mess that is the Port Royale Garrison of Marines, I would be remiss were I not to point out that the qualities you are so quick to point out as the cause for the rabble to be so disrespectful are nothing other than to be found in abundance in yourself.

You, of all men, should know that if there is an issue you go through the proper channels. If there is a problem with the marine, you can take care of it, but then you damn well better see to it that if you have further complaints about the command style you bring it up with the officer in question, not leave a slanderous note about where everyone can see it. While I am inclined to agree that leadership of the Marines is sorely lacking here, I very much doubt that you, a simpering ingrate, are even possessing of a base amount of intelligence to figure out which side Heyworth's arse is on so that you may wipe it for him, let alone be able set the men straight.

In short, I'd leave this board alone if I were you, and focus your attention where it should be. Like keeping an eye on your marines. Because if you don't, someone might mistake them for one of the Port Royale garrison, and have him hauled off and beaten senseless by those townpeople for whom you have nothing but the greatest sympathy towards. And, I can be very creative when thinking up "indignities and injustices" that that unfortunate man's CO will have to endure, because he has been neglecting his duties.

Theo & Wesley,

I'm afraid that I don't have much time in which to write this, before I must start making arrangements. You were right, Wesley, letting Sparrow escape would come back to haunt me, though I still have no doubt that I made the right decision.

I'll be leaving command of this post very shortly, and hopefully very temporarily, but in the meantime, St Montgomery will no doubt be taking command. I need both of you to minimize the damage that man can do, and I want both of you to make sure that you do not get yourselves reassigned in the meantime, or in any trouble with him, or Lord Beckett.

You must play the go-between for St Montgomery and the men, and see to it that he doesn't drive this place into the ground. I know what I ask seems to be an impossible task, but I have no doubt that both of you are equal to it.

I shall be in Tortuga for the short-term, but where I shall end up after that, I do not know. It is imperative that you do not let anyone know that you know where I am, or that I have been anything other disgraceful runaway who wished to avoid a court martial (or two...).

May God have mercy on all of us.

Regards,
James




St Montgomery,

Don't think that it's over and you're won just yet.

To All Officers and Sailors of His Majefty's Navy, and His Majefty's Marines,

In order to addrefs rumours that have been abundant as of late, and to reaffirm who is in charge of the Port Royale squadron, be it known that as the next ranking officer, who has served with great diftinction and honour, as well as has pledged to keep the peace with the Honourable East India Company, Post Captain Frederick St Montgomery is, for now being promoted to Commodore, and taking charge of Fort Charles. It is with the trust of the Admiralty that he fhall be able to reftore order to Port Royale, and enfure that pyracy will not take a hold further than it has already thusly, that he is being given this command.

Further willful acts of violence or difobedience fhall not be tolerated.

Furthermore, any man or tar who has any knowledge of the whereabouts of the former Commodore, J. Norrington, who does not share this knowledge presently, shall be punifhed with aiding him in his escape, and with preventing a lawful court martial from preceding.

You are all men of His Majefty's Navy, honourable men, in an honourable service, and I expect you to comport yourselvfs as such, or risk facing the consequences.

To all officers,

Rumours have no doubt given much of the news away. The truth of it is that Corporal McIntyre has indeed admitted to the offence of desertion and has, accordingly, been ordered confined until his court-martial. Officers chosen to sit as Members will be collected by runner when they are to be given their instructions. Proceedings will begin promptly after morning Mess on July the 7th.

I hope, perhaps in vain, that this unpleasant affair will be treated with the impartial justice which it deserves.

Captain Stevenson,

There are two special assignments for you, which I trust you shall pursue to your greatest ability. If you fail to deliver on them, I shall hold you personally responsible for these acts.

One--you shall locate the men responsible for bringing and leaving dead animals in my office. You shall start your search beginning with the sentries, and I don't care if you have to investigate every man in the fort to find the perpetrator. You may investigate any of the Sea or Naval officers whom you think may have an hand in this. In fact, amongst the first investigations you should consider Mr Gillette. I'm sure he is hiding something worth being found out.

Secondly--my steward's stuffed bear, alias "Mr Fluffles," was found hanging from the yardarm of the Dauntless. I want the man, or men responsible for this found, and delivered to me personally.

F. St Montgomery, Commodore

I have the fullest faith in my marines and can personally assure you that none of them would be responsible for such wayward behaviour.

As for your steward's stuffed bear, I believe Cartwright is the officer you should direct enquiries to. Anything regarding Dauntless's marine detachment is his concern and not mine.
