15 Safe among The Spanish


Jib

The Spanish Captain appears to believe my story that I am a shipwrecked Portuguese sailor. I am further able to sell my story with a few Latin prayers to a Franciscan Friar who just happens to be aboard (but I avoided his offer of the sacrament of confession, no need to shock the poor man!). La Arcelia has sailed out of Campeche with San Domingo as her destination. The Captain, a portly fellow named Fermin Luis Ortega, hails from San Domingo and offers me a deal. He will provide me with safe passage to San Domingo. In return I must work as one of the crew. I gladly agree!

After arriving in San Domingo Fermin Luis takes me to his plantation where he treats me to fine meals and even better wine! It is then he informs me know that he knows my real name and my criminal past… His silence has a price. One I must pay or swing from a rope! Well at least he has a full wine cellar…
