Tom Gibbons walked slowly away from McFiddich’s prison, filled with sudden doubts about the man who had become his new friend.

Gibbons tried to imagine how Adam Horne would act if he were locked in a prison like McFiddich. Would Horne beg to be let out? Would Horne panic? Call to be rescued?

Gibbons suspected that if Horne suffered it would be in silence.

Only a few weeks ago it had been an honour for Gibbons to serve under Horne. The mission to the North Arabian Sea had been a high point of his life. He had gone with Horne into the Maratha camp in the hills above the Gulf of Maniy. He had fought with a dirk and a branch from a tree. Horne had praised him for his courage and Gibbons had never felt prouder.

But ten days ago Gibbons’s world had collapsed. He had fought with Kevin McFiddich aboard the Eclipse and Horne had humiliated him in front of the crew. Gibbons could not forgive the Captain for doing such a thing to him. Nevertheless, he was still secretly ashamed that he had to throw in his lot with a man as gutless as McFiddich.
