Most of the sailors from the sinking ships had managed to get into lifeboats; there were two distinctly separate camps, along the shoreline; he'd need to divert some of his crew to go and try to communicate with any of them, though they do manage to pick up a few stragglers; four in total.<br/><br/>A salvage crew manages to get to the sinking ship, and collect some of the goods, but about half of their cargo was ruined, being, apparently, silks and spices that were damaged by the water, but they do manage to recover a couple of crates of raw ores worth a point of plunder.<br/><br/>The other ship, being the escort, isn't carrying much in the way of treasure, just weapons and ammo, for the most part, but he could probably scrape together a point of plunder, if he took the time to loot it thoroughly.<br/><br/>His lookout will report that it looks like the fleeing ship caught a strong wind, and was gaining a noticeable lead on its pursuer; it was probably going to get away, and out of sight, before too much longer.
