Griet's smile widened at the prospect of these 53 combat mariners and 104 Company soldiers disembarking de Soutbergh, having accompanied the incoming Governor and incoming Minister to this Island, as she readies herself for a bit of a business boom...

And with this morning's arrival, Supercargo Hans Jorisz Hontom certainly promises to continue imposing his own special brand of chaos on this Island, unlike anyone else.

And along with his return, comes the return of yet another key player of the earliest days of this place -- someone who goes all the way back to the earliest voyages of Adriaen Block.  But long experience does not necessarily dictate long integrity -- and sure enough, with Hans Jorisz Hontom as half of any duo, trouble can't be far away.

But with the arrival of the feckless Wouter van Twiller, the trouble is just getting started on this raw and increasingly uncivilized island of Manhattan.
