No sail met cannon in these waters across the day just past, and this column again finds its ledger of sieges blank, no garrison summoned to prove its mettle. Yet the NPC Raiders, evidently undaunted by a fortnight of empty returns, have posted their intentions with unusual industry: BUCAN's Las Sabinas, under Spanish colours, is marked for a call this evening, followed within the hour by FPM's Pampatar, flying British ensigns. A second wave looms tomorrow, with KAMI's Pedro Cay and TROP's Bimini both named for uninvited visits — the former still British in allegiance, the latter flying the black flag of the Pirates. Whether four targets in two days shall break the raiders' losing habit, or merely extend it fourfold, the harbours themselves seem in no hurry to speculate. The treasury ledger stirs only to confirm what has become custom: KAMI retains its seat atop the leaderboard, its forty ports unmoved from yesterday's count, with no rival clan pressing close enough to trouble the arithmetic of its supremacy. Caribbean wealth, like Caribbean arms, rests this morning precisely where it was left.
