Joseph Harden perplexed by his captain<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Joseph Harden reeled at his captain’s answer. The Hawk had completely lost the plot. Not only would he allow the girls to mingle – albeit supervised – with the crewmen, he would then make them spend the night in his stateroom. It was as if the old man was out to incite a mutiny. Nothing would anger the men more than the thought that their commanding officer was hoarding the women. Which was precisely the story that would be told if they shared his quarters at night, regardless of whether he took liberties with them or not. But Joseph kept his concerns to himself.<br/><br/>He waited for the officers to arrive and when they were briefed, he exited and returned with the three girls he had mentioned. The pretty blonde, the stacked Asian girl and the scared little bird name Jaimie.<strong>“Will that be all for now captain? I will need to reassign some of my men if I am to supervise the ladies’ progress. I would like to do that before they are put to work. With your permission, I would get to it right away.”</strong><br/>
