 With Henry Morgan up to the sacking of Santa Paula Henry Morgan decides that he will punish Jeffrey Hunter so has him brought to his cabin. In vain Jeffrey tries to tell him the truth but Morgan refuses to believe him until he learns that Spanish ships are waiting for him at the mouth of the river. To discuss means of overcoming this trap Morgan calls together a meeting of his captains and they decide to send an abandoned ship with sails fully set laden with gunpowder and a fuselet in amongst the Spaniards. The next morning Jeffrey together with Morgan watch this plan put into operation. The chosen ship bravely sails alone into the midst of the enemy and then explodes setting fire to the other ships and throwing them into confusion during which Morgan's fleet sails safely away. Later in the day Morgan tells Jeffrey that because of certain information he's received he wishes him to go as his spy to Spanish Cuba but Captain Morgan I don't know but as you wish to do it or you do not what is the task I have to perform what do I have to find out have you heard of the city of Panama of course when the mayor of Santa Paula was eagerly giving me information as to how to save himself from further torture he babbled on about the wealth of Panama. He told me the city is bulging with jewels and gold but Panama is inaccessible as far as you're concerned Captain Morgan to reach Panama but to sail around Cape Horn while it lies across the isthmus on the Pacific side. Yes the Spaniards think that Panama is safe from roving buccaneers it's a mistake they make sometimes they thought Santa Paula was safe from my hand but it would take months to sail around to Panama and if the lutes in Panama why ask me to go to Havana. Well although the mayor told me quite a lot it was not sufficient he told me all he knew he was only too eager to. To sail for those months around Cape Horn it's an impossible task. I have no intention of sailing around Cape Horn there's a quicker route across the isthmus. You intend going overland to Panama. Yes why not train the men to do it and we'll succeed but the way lies amongst swamp and fever that death in every hand in every form. Some will die but many will return. What do you want me to do in Havana. The mayor of Santa Paula told me there's a fleet being assembled at Havana a fleet which will sail around the horn to Panama to load the treasure and take it back to Spain. I want to know when that fleet leaves Cuba. I want to know when she's well on her way sailing south. As you said it'll take some months to sail around the horn to Panama and during those months the Caribbean sea will be free of Spanish ships. I'll be able to move a faster fleet to the mainland and march across Sack Panama and return while the Spanish ships are still rounding Cape Horn. Havana must be full of news regarding the sailing day to the fleet and I want somebody there in Havana who will listen to that news. You speak Spanish. I want you to take the job. Of course you know what discovery would mean that they're kindest it would be just there. So you now fully believe my story Captain Morgan you trust me once again. I believe it yes. But upon reaching Port Royal I'll verify what I believe with Sir Thomas Muffin. If you've lied I'll know how to deal with you. If you've spoken the truth you'll be fully recompensed for what I've done to you. Thank you Captain. And I've told you these plans so as to give you time to think over my proposition. If you decide to accept it you'll have to leave Port Royal practically immediately upon our arrival. And it's pleased I am Captain Morgan to see you return safely. I held great fears for you after what Hunter told me and I'm relieved to hear from you Sir Thomas that Hunter has spoken the truth. I regret very much that I mistrusted him but after all the plot was so cunningly made against him it seemed that he must be guilty. It was never a word or a sign as to where the woman went with my necklace. There hasn't been a sign of her orchid here nor has there been a sign of dearth since he deserted from your ship the night you sailed. And this is one time that I must cut my losses. He has taken necklace evidently not for me. Well who knows one of these days on one of my raids at Spanish spy and I may meet and I think that then she will have regrets. Yes well that is another matter which I have to discuss what your future expeditions during your absence Morgan I've received more pressure from England pressure to wipe out Buccaneers I thought you'd already done that by creating me a vice admiral. Oh that didn't hoodwink them in England. They tell us that raids on the Spanish possessions. I'm sorry Morgan matters entirely out of my hands you know I should be the loser by as little you know you threatening me Sir Thomas no I'm warning you Morgan you once talked of retiring perhaps it would be better if you decided now to take up a peaceful life. They wouldn't dare touch me and the most powerful man in the Caribbean and I'd be dictated to by anybody I'm Henry Morgan well should you not take my advice Morgan I would have to arrest you for piracy. I love that you'll be a threat you look after governing Jamaica Sir Thomas and leave me to take care of the Spaniards I'm glad Hunter that you've decided to accept the task which I offered you you will fully realize what you're doing I understand Captain after hearing your story from Sir Thomas I could have understood you readily accepting such an assignment had your name not been cleared but you've got everything to live for now after what the earth and the Spanish woman who was masquerading as I met the place he did to me I wonder something back to their race I'm also keen to go for another reason I have a strange feeling about a banner oh what is that over there I may hear about the woman who was in Port Royal I might hear of the Aztec Nicollet and also I have a strange feeling that someday I'll have a meeting with dear there are several scores about a set with him doubt if I will ever find Kitty but who knows I could I may hear word of her so you'll see I have several reasons Captain Morgan for going to a banner well don't forget that I'm relying on you to return to give me the information which I so vitally need I won't be taking any risks I'm taking the Negro a hero with me I want a companion and he refuses to be left behind you have one serious disadvantage you're so fair you could never be taken for a spanish I had already thought of that at the moment the state of war exists between England and Holland I intend posing as a Dutch gem merchant who's come to Cuba with a night of trade excellent idea and being supposedly in the jewel business I am likely to hear more readily the movement of the fleet I shall give out that I am in the market for buying rare diamonds and rubies and if the Spaniards are eager for business they'll willingly tell me the movement of those ships an excellent plan I couldn't have thought of a better one myself can you and hero sail tomorrow night there's nothing to obtain me in Port Royal but I've arranged to be made for getting me away from Havana the ship that you sail on will return at night to the spot where you were put on shore exactly seven nights after you land you will have hunter exactly one week to get the information but all those Spanish ships in Havana Cuba will be a hot spot for a British ship to linger about the ship cannot wait for you in the vicinity of Cuba for more than one week I see and should you not be at the appointed place at the appointed time the ship will sail back to Jamaica without you believing that you failed in your mission and that your identity has been discovered and that you were lost so remember unless you make that appointment and you're still alive there will be no means of your returning to Jamaica very lovely my dear daughter and my father and see you're not taking a risk in losing the Aztec necklace again he who weighed nearly all the time after the fight I had to get it back I am not going to chance the losing of it again the law is what is the matter with you these days who seem to be bored all the time you no longer go out to mix with the Society of Havana all the time you stay about home I find Havana dull and stupid I want again to live an exciting life with danger like it was in Portugal I do not mention those dreadful days to me I was all the time wondering if you were alive but you have so little faith in me that was leaving oh and now to come back here to an idle life of social rounds boards routes afternoon tea parties you're not wonder I get tired and sick of it all the lawless you should have been a man what a leader you would have been what a fighter against the English Buccaneers now when I think of Morgan escaping the trap which was so carefully set for him I could have sworn we would have been successful but no no the archfiend himself sent the fire shipping amongst our ships and destroyed them once more he is freed the Rome the seas in Spain they have complained to England about those Buccaneers in England promises they will be wiped from the sea but what happens Morgan goes on putting his fingers to his nose at us but some day some day we will find him some day someone will be able to tell us his plans in the next time we learn them we must make sure he does not escape the last it was to us Santa Paula destroyed all our treasures taken Spanish ships blown up and sunk and Morgan goes laughing on his way working hand-in-hand with the Jamaican governor Sir Thomas Mothford Sir Thomas Mothford my dear uncle Thomas said I used to call him he was so simple to hoodwink they all were especially the man Jeffrey Hunter he is dead now of course I have just remembered something what happened to the Oriole Antoinette I had forgotten I suppose she is in prison still I gave orders that she was to be well looked after and to very existence went from my mind her youthfulness is over we have no need of her now but she was very beautiful you had better sell her on the slave market she will fetch a high price and so once again Jeffrey Hunter is sailing into the lives of his enemies in her banner how will he fowl on the island of Cuba listen to the next episode of a float with Henry Morgan
