Bones in the Ocean

Overview

After securing a bounty from a British charter ship, first mate Huxford tallies his dues for his debt on land, and grows impatient with Captain Wilkinson during their celebrations. Later in the Captains quarters, Huxford confronts Wilkinson, believing he could have taken more. In retaliation Wilkinson dismisses his disloyalty and threatens his position, which prompts Huxford to retreat in anger. Under the deck Huxford complains to Tucker and to the crew of Wilkinson's laziness, and in promising them a better life under his command, he rallies the crew together for a coup. After a successful coup, Huxford takes command but is cut short by Galton who reminds him that the Captains role is up to a vote.
