A quote that i thought was significant was this one on page 144. "Hayden suppressed a smile.' patience, Baldwin. I think we'll scare 'em more if we we're in range. don't you'". So he said this because they were chasing after a French ship and they were going to fire a warning and then Hayden said the quote above.and then they end up taking over the French ship. and that's where i stop ed and i think that it was really significant.
