After a few moments, Capitaine Toutain swallows his pride and yells up. "I would surrender myself and my men, Captain. You have beaten us. Enough have been lost to my pride. Please, fish us from the water."
The Alliance sailors look anywhere but at their Capitaine. They had served under him for a long time, and the significance of his surrender was not lost on them.
