Soon enough, a high whistling sound echoed around the ship, calling all hands to the main deck.  Standing on the bridge above the crowd was the captain, the tails of her coat fluttering behind her as she stepped up onto the railing, "A fine lot you all are. The ship's well stocked and anyone that isn't here now won't be joining us for the coming trip."  Her eyes sparkled in the sunlight.  "We're not escorting this time, me hearties.  We're on the trail of stolen goods, to recover them."<br/><br/>She went into an explanation, as much as she dared, letting it all sink in.  "I've the finest crew one could ask for and this quarry will bring us a fair amount, indeed.  Spirits high and hoist the sails.  We're off on a treasure hunt."  Taking the stone from her pocket, she held it in her hand and called to the pilot, "Set course, west by southwest, Mr. Solis!  And off we go.  Now, back to your stations, everyone."
