Pirates of the Caribbean: The Price of Freedom

“Too right, love.”
Esmeralda began rowing for the northern end of the cove, and
Jack, to make things look good, took out some bread and cheese, and
the bottle of wine. She unshipped the oars, and they drifted, sharing
the food and wine, for all the world like a couple of pirate lads out
rowing about on a lark.
Jack took out his spyglass and swept it around, staring up at the
cliffs, then back at the docks, at the towering piled derelict hulks of
Shipwreck City, and then at several ships anchored in the cove. He
allowed himself only a few moments to look at the sloop in question—
but it was enough to accomplish his purpose. He lowered the spyglass
and closed his eyes. If he’d been alone, he might have cursed a blue
streak, but he wasn’t, so he confined himself to just shaking his head
and muttering, “Damn. Oh no…”
“What is it?” Esmeralda asked, still rowing. “I want to see, too.”
“Wait till we’re past them,” Jack said. “We don’t want him to figure
out who we are and what we’re doing.” He shook his head again. “We
really don’t want that.”
She peered at him from beneath the brim of her hat. “Jack, what’s
going on? You…are you all right? You look sick.” As she leaned
forward, she examined his face more intently. “You look like you’ve
gotten too much sun.”
“Esmeralda,” Jack said quietly, “That ship…she’s a sloop,
Bermuda-rigged, just as Hector Barbossa described. And she’s got a
brass bow chaser, all right. Foreign work, and it looks to be India work
to my eyes. But darlin’…I know that ship. That’s Koldunya. Borya’s
sloop.”
“What?” she was so taken aback she lost her grip on one of the
oars, and only Jack’s quick grab saved it from slithering out of the
oarlock. Esmeralda was nearly stammering. “But—but—Borya…you
can’t mean the man I met! The Pirate Lord? It can’t be!”
Jack nodded grimly. “It is. I’ve sailed aboard her. I’ve rigged and
reefed her sails, and gotten drunk with her crew—and her captain, too.
That’s Koldunya—means ‘witch’ in Russian—and she belongs to
Boris Palachnik, the Pirate Lord of the Caspian Sea. Borya’s our
rogue pirate captain.”
