Admiral Jones’ American fleet anchored in the port of Philadelphia is waiting for the supplies carried by the Albatros before weighing anchor to force the English block. But suddenly Ordway, the gun dealer, vanishes into thin air and all of the men from the shipyard leave, every single one of them... Following the track of these events and in company of his inseparable friends, Mark finds himself right in the middle of a risky and most unusual situation. When evidence against a man is overwhelming, like that which is nailing Lieutenant Bond, is it still right to cultivate a shade of doubt? A stolen load of weapons, the escort men killed in an ambush and the lieutenant with the price of betrayal in his possession, as well as a map indicating the place of the ambush. This is the evidence. And this is the man: a loyal and brave officer, whose honour is now in Mark’s hands.
