In the afternoon, the "double mast" Galen destroyer golden deer slowly drove into carrisle Bay on the southwest coast of Barbados, followed the pilot''s flag and stopped at a wide anchor wharf.

    Compared with bashiba Town, this is a qualified rest place for sailors who have experienced ocean and adventure.

    Lorraine gave everyone a big holiday for six days. In addition to a group of sailors taking care of the ship on a shift, they had a full five-day free time.

    The news announced that the sailors cheered and swarmed into the prosperous port area. Donna looked on coldly and became more and more convinced that Lorraine was an aristocratic child who had not been beaten by the society.

    She also followed Haina off the ship.

    According to Lorraine, people who stay on the ship for a long time will lose their affinity for land, so during anchoring, sailors have to rest in the port rental hotel. Although the rotation is inevitable, it has nothing to do with Donna.

    Donna looked more and more forward to Lorraine after she was beaten by society.

    After seeing Donna and the sailors off, Lorraine, Karen, acharin and Carmen gathered on the deck and began to discuss the next action plan.

    Lorraine is responsible for purchasing charts and sextants.

    Karen had to go to the nearby dock to see if there was a suitable fore mast of the fifth class ship and start the repair of the golden deer directly.

    Acharin was not allowed to get off the ship. As a pawn on the ship, he had to adapt to the winds and waves in the Caribbean as soon as possible to ensure that his gun handling skills would not be acclimatized.

    Carmen, on behalf of Drake chamber of Commerce, will visit the local governor of Barbados.

    Bridgeton is the seat of the governor''s office of the British Windward Islands, and the governor of Barbados is also the governor of the Windward Islands.

    This sporadic Island, which belongs to the southern arc of the little Antilles and faces the northeast trade wind, is the most important transfer terminal of the Atlantic route. Even if the products are not abundant, it is still the core node of the new continent route.

    If the chamber of commerce wants to develop, it must win the trade license here, which is Carmen''s task.

    Assigned their respective work, the four people acted separately, Lorraine stuck in her waist, and then officially stepped on the land of Bridgeton.

    From the perspective of Europeans, Bridgeton has a long history in the Caribbean.

    In 1628, the British officially began the construction of Barbados.

    The builders found an original bridge in the galinechi swamp. Some people think that the bridge was built by the indigenous Arawak people in the Caribbean, so it is regarded as the center of the whole island.

    They built a new bridge near the original bridge and built a small town of St. Michael, also known as Bridgeton, around the bridge.

    Bridgeton means "Indian bridge" in English.

    With its superior geography and wide shelter Bay, the town developed in a few years, and Bridgeton''s nickname was much higher than St. Michael''s official name. Over time, the new governor didn''t know the real name of the town at all, and he called it Bridgeton in all official documents.

    St Michael became Bridgeton.

    Therefore, the history of this prosperous town is as long as the history of the British in Barbados.

    More than 150 years of colonial history gave birth to a series of exquisite small buildings with a history of 100 years, including red walls, white walls, blue tiles and black tiles. The architectural style is simple and lively. The slender Georgian windows extend all the way, making people feel like they have returned to Plymouth, England.

    Lorraine successfully found a maritime supplies store near the street and bought a brand-new sextant and a royal cartographic office version of the Caribbean atlas, which was a new product drawn in 1770.

    He was very satisfied with his harvest. He went back to the ship and carefully studied the newly acquired chart.

    On the other side, the governor''s house

    Carmen jumped out of the carriage with the help of the sailor, shook the gold bone fan with lace, half covered his pretty face and shook it gently.

    She chose a pure purple lace dress with high collar and long sleeves for this important public relations event, matched with silk white gloves and dark brown leather boots, so as not to expose any skin outside her face.

    The face is the purest Hanover expensive female makeup.

    Crush the pearls, mix the lanolin and make rouge. Paint the whole face white like a plastering wall and cover the eyebrows.

    Then wear a thick false eyebrow made of Shanghai beaver rat''s hair at the position of the eyebrow, with the long false eyebrow close to the top and almost to the hairline.

    Her lipstick chose the brightest Zhu Hong, with sharp lips, long and charming.

    The snow-white face is also pasted with gold foil, silver foil and some colored colored paper. The shapes are stars, moon, flowers and fish, which are colorful and eye-catching.

    She also wore an exaggerated wig.

    The silver wig is half a meter high like a mountain. It is decorated with flowers, fresh fruits, gold, silver and coral. Small and bright carrots are hung on the temples. Several strands of coiled silk hang down from the front of the forehead and shake gently in the wind.

    Dressed like this, Carmen basically gave up his ability to communicate between marches.

    But she didn''t need to communicate with the guard. She just shook her fan quietly and watched her sailor walk up to the guard and boast: "Sir, is your governor there?"

    The governor''s office guard of the English serf class looked at Carmen nervously and swallowed his saliva: "Sir, the governor is in the building."

    "Ms. Xavier is an old friend of the governor. Please let me know if you come to visit friends today."

    "Well... Does this distinguished lady have an appointment?"

    The sailor was angry, glanced at the rank of the guard from the corner of his eye, and shouted: "corporal, Ms. Xavier''s schedule is very busy. If you miss this half hour, I promise you will go to the plantation tomorrow and cut sugarcane with a group of black skin. The time limit is... Forever!"

    "Yes, sir!" the guard snapped to attention and saluted. "Go now, sir!"

    "Run forward, corporal!"

    "Yes! Run forward!"

    "Wait!" the guard turned and ran into the governor''s house. After only two steps, the sailor suddenly shouted to him, "by the way, who is your governor?"

    "Neville Carlisle, sir!"

    "OK... Run forward, corporal!"

    "Ah! Yes! Yes!"

    Three minutes later, Carmen, who wrote all his honor on his face, was respectfully invited into governor Carlisle''s private reception room.

    The mellow governor Carlisle, with his fingers in his hands, looked at Carmen and sat solemnly on the sofa. He said uncertainly, "Ms. Xavier. The guard said you claimed to be my old friend, but in my impression, it seems that I have never known such a beautiful lady as you."

    Carmen covered his mouth with a golden bone fan and smiled solemnly with only his eyes: "we''ve never seen it, sir."

    "That is to say, you deliberately deceived my guard with your dignity?"

    "No, meeting is a way to know, but not the only way." Carmen winked at the sailor. The sailor opened a small wooden box and opened the lid at the governor.

    "In the seventh century, the crown of a small country during the Western Saxon Dynasty. I consulted scholars in Southampton. Unfortunately, it is not the one crowned by his majesty Egbert. But it is precious enough, isn''t it?"

    The governor''s eyes stared at the crown, stared for a long time, and then pulled out his eyes: "Madam means..."

    "It''s yours now, my governor," Carmen smiled. "Although it''s the first time we''ve met, I don''t think it prevents us from building a deep friendship like old friends."

    "I''m sorry to disagree with you, madam. I always thought we had a real friendship." governor Carlisle stood up, gently closed the crown box and said to Carmen, "I finally saw you today. As my friends said, you are gorgeous. It''s better to meet..."
