There was no question, the Black Pearl knew when Jack and his skiff came into sight. Barbossa could sense the change in her, and sure enough, not five minutes later, there was a cry from the crow’s nest.
“Ship ahoy! It’s the Captain!”
That was Marty, damn his eyes. Barbossa scowled, vowing to have a word – and more than a word – with the hell-born imp.
Her true captain gripped the spokes of the wheel to adjust their course and felt a trembling shiver run through her. Cheers sounded as the Pearl’s speed increased by a knot or more.
Faithless jade.
