From: William Harris To: Commanding Officer of HMS Triumph Subject: Leeds Incident
Good evening, Captain.
I understand you're responsible for accosting our merchant ship in Leeds and causing distress to her crew. Captain O'Reilly told me you boarded his vessel and spoke with him, sharing some interesting information. You also pressed him for some insight into our own operations, probably seeing it as some kind of exchange. You then made sure his ship reached Dublin safely and departed.
I don't pretend to understand your reasoning for these actions, though there's probably a good explanation. You'll understand if we take your claims with a pinch of salt until our scouts can confirm them with their own eyes.
But you have my thanks for not destroying a civilian ship.
