"There's a medium-sized three-masted sailing ship in the northwest. Captain, what should we do?"
"What flag is that ship flying?"
"No flags, Captain."
The bearded middle-aged man in a neat navy uniform and an eagle-feather triangular hat picked up a brass telescope and looked at the black dot in the distance.
After a while, he lowered the telescope and said, "The hull doesn't have the thin and long style of those pointy-ears. It resembles a merchant ship from the East Coast."
"If it's only a normal merchant ship, we don't have to care, right?" the sailor who reported the situation asked out of caution.
