Master Ardick reaches adulthood and boards the Industry to Havana as second mate. Deserter Tym goes ashore, mutiny plots unfold, and Pradey rallies the crew to scuttle. A Spanish buccaneer raid led by Morgan’s fleet reaches Panama, with Ardick wounded yet Tym saving him as Pradey is killed.
At daybreak the marching force gathers under leaders, officers warn of spoils kept in the castle hall, slaves’ fate outlined, and Morgan plans a show of warlike force toward the governor’s castle before scattering to plunder. The deserted city lies quiet as the advance moves into a stone plaza.
The party enters a castle after securing Morgan s aid and spiking the guns. They receive warnings to save wine until safety is proven and to return by nightfall, with danger signaled by two cannon shots. A spectator gasps as Capt Sellinger appears in the street outside.
The group finds Captain Sellinger alive, learns he was mistaken for a ghost, and joins him in a plan to rescue Dona Isa bella and Dona Carmen from the Spanish palazzo. They visit Don Enri de Cavadilla, receive assurances, and map routes through gardens toward escape by water. The dialogue centers on securing exits and coordinating the rescue with the don and his family.
The captain explains Don Enrique and the ladies were chased by bucaneers and likely known again. The party considers hiding them but faces risks of searchers and suspicion. The captain concludes they must flee and ponders where to go next.
