The boat has been largely stripped of valuables. The rudder chains and every scrap of sail cloth has been removed. The ship's bell and all identifing marks are gone. All the loose furniture has been removed. The galley has been stripped of pots and pans. There is only one small cask of water and perhaps enough rations for one meal to serve the 12 crewmen. A few simple tools and the men's weapons are all that can be recovered from the ship. In addition to the weapons a total of 150 gp worth of coins and modest valuables are found on the fallen pirates. There are no ropes, no wood or tar for repairs and not even any hammocks or bedding.

The mast was being taken down and several windows and door being removed. It is a small single masted scooner about half the size of the retribution. Mangram suggests an answer, "I'd say the pirate lass didn't trust these boys not to run off with her prize. She had all the sail, ropes and rudder pulled to see they couldn't sail away. She didn't even trust them with food and water for a short journey. No honor among theives I guess." </blockquote>
