...after taking aboard a few more crates in Leyawiin, Captain Laughton pointed the May north towards the Imperial City. We pleaded with him to wait until the next morn, but he insisted on continuing despite the look of the sky. Let it be known that this decision was his.<BR>

Wasn't long before the May hit the storm. It was just as we suspected, far too dangerous to sail through. With the last bit of daylight disappearing, Navigator Quillan spotted an inlet off the starboard bow. The Captain ordered the wheelman to steer towards the inlet in the hopes of getting the May out of Niben Bay. It was at that moment Gable gave me the signal and we struck. He'd always had an eye for the Captain's position, and with the chaos going on, this was a better time than any. Only that idiot, Blakeley was still loyal to the Captain, but the rest of us wanted the May. The fight lasted maybe a minute or two. Blakeley and Laughton knew that fighting was futile.

May_号が嵐に遭遇するまでそう時間はかからなかった。俺達が睨んでた通りだ。切り抜けるには危険すぎたんだ。最後のかすかな陽光が失せる頃、測量士の_Quillan_が右舷に入江を発見した。船長は_May_号が_Niben_Bay_を抜け出せる事を願い、舵手に入り江のほうへ向かわせた。Gable_が俺に合図を送ってよこし、俺達が事をおっぱじめたのがこの時だ。やつはいつも船長の座を狙ってたし、チャンスは船内に混乱が広がっていくこの時を置いてなかったろう。阿呆の_Blakeley_だけは船長にまだ忠誠を誓ってたが、残りの俺達全員が起ちあがった。争いは1・2分しか続かなかった。Blakeley_と_Laughton_は抵抗しても無駄だと思ったようだ。俺達はやつらを船倉に放り込んで、今や船長となった_Gable_が_May_号を入江へと向けている。願わくば、しばらく船の安全を確保して...<BR>
