Finding the list in a crate
 

how do i find the crate which has the list in it?
i'm at the part where you maroon a navy captain. But where do i find the crate?:xhuh:

It's in a desk, not in a crate. It's in a room next to Doc Grog's at Tortuga. There is also a Navy Guard inside the room gurading the desk. You will have to defeat him before you search the desk.

That one is hard to do without someone "distracting" the guards. Try to find someone to have your back in there.
