She is further surprised to learn that he plans to take her and Lord Willoughby to a point near Jamaica, so that they can easily reach her home. Knowing that her uncle, Colonel Bishop, is hunting for Blood with a fleet of war vessels, she begs him not to risk his life for her. Lord Willoughby is so impressed with Captain Blood that he offers him a King’s Commission as a Naval Officer to serve the new King, William. Meanwhile, war has been declared between France and England, but Bishop, who is now Governor of the Island, instead of remaining at Jamaica to defend it against a possible attack, has sailed away to Tortugas in search of Captain Blood. Captain Blood accepts the commissions offered by Lord Willoughby and sets forth to save Port Royal from the French fleet. Lord Willoughby is furiously angry with Bishop, for leaving his city undefended. On the day Bishop returns, Arabella sees Captain Blood in the Governor’s garden and is terrified lest he be found. She begs him to flee before the Governor reaches home. At the docks, Bishop is met by a guard that arrests him. Bishop cannot believe his eyes, when he is taken to the Governor’s mansion and in the Governor’s chair sits his arch enemy, Captain Blood.
