Had these goons kidnapped her as well? His grip tightened on his cane - if these hooligans had harmed Mary in any way...

Suddenly, the group crested a hill and saw a small harbour stretching out below them. A powerful frigate lay alongside the dock, its sails spread like canvas wings. "The Gloria Scott, of course!" Watson heard Holmes exclaim.

The goons laughed. "Not exploded after all. And easily the most powerful vessel in these waters, with the whole Finnish fleet moving south." Rough hands pushed their shoulders propelling Watson and Holmes forward. "Now lets go meet the boss..."

Hey folks,

The Spring 07 turn is characterized by naval combat between the two large powers, with Sweden and Russia both lending some key supports. With no retreats required, we'll move right along into the Fall turn - with the deadline set for Thursday, October 2nd (11:59 PM GMT).

As always, let me know if I'm sniffing glue and made any errors. Cheers!
