Attack on the Fair Wind

The attack began early on the Fair Wind's voyage from the Caribbean to England. Jack Sparrow, a first mate aboard the vessel and a new East India Trading Company employee, was on watch when the pirate ship, Venganza, approached. Jack had more reasons than one to fear the Venganza. The Venganza's captain, Esmerelda, was Jack's former lover. It was years since they seen each other and she was unaware of Jack's new position under the Company.

Seeing that the Venganza was making a beeline for their ship and taking their wind, Jack told his worried crew that they should just give up their cargo and spare their lives. Jack also told this to his superior, Bainbridge, the somewhat alcoholic captain of the Fair Wind. Bainbridge didn't believed in Jack's claims of pirates and thought that the Venganza was a British vessel. When he realized he was mistaken, the shocked Bainbridge agreed to let the pirates take the cargo, although it pained him to say it.

Unfortunately for Bainbridge, he was outraged when he realize Esmerelda was the pirate captain. He would not be stolen from a woman. With his sword he advance toward the pirate captain and cursed at her. Esmerelda thought this was amusing and toyed with the old man. After reciving a few harmless pokes, Bainbridge fell over a died, succumbed to his years of rum drinking. Jack quickly drew Esmerelda's attention and made quiet negotations away from the two crews. Jack agreed on giving away much of the cargo plus an exclusive night of catching up with his old flame. Esmerelda also agreed to guard Jack as he sailed to the Florida Keys for the Venganza would discourage any other pirate attack.

In the end, Jack was promoted to captain for his efforts and later recived the Wicked Wench from Cutler Beckett.
