James F. B. Marshall, an American merchant…

March 1843 CE

James F. B. Marshall, an American merchant of Ladd and Company, is invited aboard Boston, where he secretly meets chief Hawaiian Kingdom minister Judd.

Judd gives Marshall an emergency commission as "envoy extraordinary" and sends him to plead the case for an independent Hawaii in London.

Paulet closes down all shipping, but wants to send Alexander Simpson back to England so that his side of the case can be heard first.

Paulet rechristens the Hawaiian ship Hoikaika as Albert, and both Simpson and Marshall (telling Paulet he is only on a business mission) sail to San Blas, Mexico.
