Luckily, he didn't have to wait longer than two weeks for the return of the summoned captains that would sit upon the panel, and the arrival of Lieutenant Watts. While he didn't see him at any time, he knew that George must have arrived once he was told the courtmartial would commence the next day.

So, in the morning, he was taken out of his cell

Awwwwwwww. So cute! Well, that's over, I wonder if Rothwell will be able to catch up with his friend before having to vacate Port Royal?

Not sure - I have about 4-5 episodes in my mind that need to be given a good order. I might be able to write an interlude in the meantime, but I'll have to decide if the Service would ship him out again right away. Not good to have most of the Western Squadron on shore leave at Port Royal at the same time!

The incident with the crew petition happened fairly often in the Georgian Navy (once in a while, anyway) so it was fun to have it happen here.
