The Nutmeg leads the Cornélie on a chase with lame duck ruses, twists and turns, duelling chasers, a familiar decoy trick, and an occulted Star Trek star. After a gunroom dinner with old port, and lots of sails & rigging, there's a very surprising encounter. Ch 6.

Another Star Trek connection, Khan’s ship was the ”Botany Bay.” He was a prisoner being exiled to space in a direct parallel to colonial Australia. I doubt O’Brian was a Star Trek fan but, that’s way too on the nose to not make me wonder if O’Brian was at least familiar enough with Trek’s plot seeing where this book soon takes us.
