Another day passes with the ledger of sieges unmarked, no broadside exchanged nor garrison put to the test across these waters. Yet idleness has not touched the NPC Raiders' scheduling office, which has now posted two fresh calls for the morrow: KAMI's Codrington, under British colours, is to receive uninvited callers come evening of the thirteenth, with RWC's Cayo Romano, flying Spanish flags, marked for a similar visitation less than an hour later. Whether this pairing shall extend the raiders' long and undistinguished record of failure, or at last furnish them a prize worth boasting of, remains a question the harbours decline to answer before the fact. The treasury ledger, true to recent habit, offers little for the columnist's pen. KAMI sits once more atop the leaderboard, its forty ports precisely as numerous as yesterday's tally, and no rival clan draws near enough to trouble the arithmetic of its supremacy. Caribbean wealth, like Caribbean arms, appears content this morning to rest exactly where it was left.
