Having all the time in the world (hint) to reread (again / hint) all the books of the series. I noted that Lord Chartley left for Amboyna in a fast Sloop around about the 22/23rd of March. Sir Tobias also left in a fast Sloop, but on or about the 20/21st of May. Barring a mishap, that should give Bertie about 2 months to wrap up his dealings. Unless you kill him off, he will get to see the Earl again and return home as a really wealthy man. Or be be kept on as Governor and become a really, really rich man. Question, would not Sir Tobias send Bertie back as soon as possible after he replaced him. George won't get there any time soon.

I am simply gobsmacked. Oh what a tangled web you weave, as you continue to us deceive. So many bits of info given. Add to it your comment from the Forum. That a well-armed privateer could possibly take on a Galleon. Reminded me of the sloop Vulture of 18 guns with a Letter of Marque. I guess time will tell, more please.

Mark, I have read over each story several times and have not been able to find a mention of the Felicite.
-
Mark, as expected well worth the wait, thank you. This answers my previous question about O'Higgins. Not since Anson, has a Manila galleon been captured. Would not such a major prize (a very large ship)have to go back with a senior officer and decent crew to brave the elements? Surely he would not put one of the whaler captains in charge? How about Humphreys, left with a brig, returning with a galleon? Possibly escorted by Spanish frigate commanded by an acting Post Captain? That would get rid of Centexhairysubs' pet peeves without having to kill him (Calvert I mean) off, Now I resume the Lotus position and start humming my Granger Mantra, hoping it will speed up your next offering (Hummmmmmmmmmmmmm..........)

I am surprised that even in Roses they are aware of his knighthood, I do not think the col was one of those he wrote to about his peerage. Great chapter Mark, thank you.
-
You have not commented on it, will Mr. Humphreys have to eventually stand a court martial for the loss of his brig? If so, what are the possible outcomes? Can all of this wait till they get home? Can he actually take his new Irish Masters Mate back to England? The good doctor almost had his neck stretched for far less. Mark, could you explain to me the difference in commenting here versus posting to a chapter. I think I understand the intent, however often many of remarks seen here would make more sense as a chapter review (better for you). I unlike the rest will patiently await your next chapter (yeah right).
-
Reading this over again, as I wait for chapter 36 of O to continue. I wonder if you will at some time in the future work Mr. Perkins and/or Darby back in to Grangers' adventures.

This is my fourth time reading The Wardroom and find myself enjoying it more than the last time.
-
Thank you, a great read as expected. So let's see: Prisoners & whalers, check. Privateers, check. Spanish naval power, check. Smuggling scheme to the extent possible from his location, check. Perhaps a Galleon or two to cap it all off, then on to beard Sir Tobias Maidstone. Sounds pretty straight forward to me. It looks like reviews are down to 7.58 percent of those following this story (sigh). This is not much of an incentive for Mark to post anytime soon,
-
Thankyou, Daddydavek for echoing my thoughts. It seems to have had some effect. Mark good follow up. On my very first Leadership course, after being told by the officer to always lead by example and after he had left the area. The sgt major then looked each of us in the eyes and said, rememder also that when all else fails, grab them by the short and curlies and their hearts and minds will follow. B.T.W. I counted 10 replies. So was that a right after, shortly after or normal after ( just kidding -Not ) Thanks again Mark.
-
Yet another great chapter (hieghts do not bother me), I thought we were about due to loose a midshipman. It seems everyone connected to John Travers gets hurt (some how) or is killed off. Or was it due to Stamfords' lack of musical abilities that made him the most likely candidate to bite the bullet (cannon ball) in this case ? As for the San Augustin, I don't suppose mayhap her mostly native crew might just happen to be mostly Mapuche conscripts? Thanks again Mark.
-
Mr Arbour, another great chapter. So exactly when/how did Granger find out Winkler spoke Spanish (suprise)? I have been following your stories for several years now. Finally I couldn't remain silent any more, so I took the plunge and signed on so that I could voice my concerns of those who perport to be your followers. Where the heck are you all ? If Mark doesn't post you whine and now that he is (thank you ever so much) where are your comments? Many of you are yourselves supposedly Authors and know of the importance of feed back good or bad. Even a two word post of well done, is preferable to the silent indiference I have noted of late. Thank you Mark please keep it up.
