As the sun settles into the sea in the west the Merchant Misfortune catches sight of the white sails of the Utopia. With all sails set the lighter pirate vessel is gaining on the heavy merchant ship at a fast pace. "We shall overcome her tonight" the Capt. yells to his blood thirsty crew "leave the lanterns unlit so they won't see us coming". Paul had to smile, Peters plan may not have worked but the fighting had slowed the ship to the point that the other ships where far ahead. By the time the other ships noticed what was happening (if they noticed) they would be unable to help. The sun was now sinking below the horizon its light all gone. The lights on the deck of the Utopia as good as any X on any pirate map ever dreamed of.
