The large well under the Hotel was in the fort's southwest bastion. This fort was partially leveled by the Spaniards in In Governor Elias Haskett was imprisoned in the stronghold, following his deposition. A combined Spanish and French force completely surprised New Providence in - They found the Deputy Governor feasting, the fort neglected and without a garrison.

Unlike the former privateers the pirates attacked ships of all nations, including their own. He arrived with his fleet on the evening of August 1, Governor Rogers appears to have taken a great interest in the reconstruction of Fort Nassau, which on his arrival he found in sad disrepair with only one small nine-pounder cannon mounted. But it was not until that a serious effort was made to recondition the fort.
In Peter Henry Bruce, an engineer of international reputation, was charged with renovating it at a salary of 20 shillings a day. He arrived in The cost of repairing Fort Nassau, and building and completing Fort Montagu, was small. Bruce explained: "war was declared and we were threatened with an invasion, and being then exposed to the insults of an enemy the inhabitants very frankly provided materials for their own security.
The renovations to Fort Nassau, and a new sea battery, were completed in December, Eleanor exchanges Max for twenty of the pirates taken prisoner from the first invasion, including De Groot and Colin. The Revenge returns to Nassau. Eleanor and the occupants of the fort wait apprehensively to learn whether it is Teach or Rogers returning. Lieutenant Utley announces that the ship is flying Rogers' colors and signals, much to their happiness.
Eleanor has a meeting in the tunnels with Flint and Silver. She offers to give them Fort Nassau in exchange for safe passage off the island and the cache of gems. In addition, Flint has to surrender himself as collateral to ensure the terms of the deal are honored. Silver and Flint have to decide now, for Eleanor refuses to undermine Rogers' position once the shooting begins. Flint agrees, despite Silver's objections, believing it to be the safest way to conquer Nassau.
Silver leaves, warning his men that Eleanor is sending a messenger to Rogers to call off his attack. Hudson is sent aboard a launch to explain the situation to Rogers. He dismisses her words however, so Eleanor fires several warning shots at him with Flint's help until he leaves. A few days later, Eleanor meets with Flint, who was happily reading a book, in his cell.
Flint tells her about Mr. Scott's involvement with the Maroons , and how it began before the Rosario Raids. Eleanor despairs at this, for all her life she thought herself a daughter who usurped her father, and a woman who conquered a wild place. Scott was proof of that, but now she learns even her surrogate father was using her for his own ends. Flint says that she did do all those things, but always with some man trying to use her for their own desires. As she despairs, Flint asks if Woodes Rogers is so different from the likes of him and Vane.
The fort receives word that the cache is arriving on the island. Eleanor is to take Flint to the northwest tunnel, where they will be escorted overland to the southern coast. Eleanor is wary of this, noting Silver's objections to the deal and the fact that it is all the way across the island.
Flint points out that sailing a chest full of jewels into a harbor full of enraged pirates is dangerous, and this way there is less of a chance of intereference. Silver, Billy and their men wait by a tunnel near the fort, planning on ambushing and killing Flint, Eleanor and their men. Jacob Garrett walks up to Billy and tells him the men are in position.
Billy says to wait for Eleanor and all her men to clear the tunnel before falling on them. Furthermore, Billy wants to kill Flint personally. Jacob then tells him that this is a setup, and Silver intends to betray and kill Billy.
Silver told the pirates that the reason the invasion failed was because Billy failed to tell them about the hulks in the bay. Jacob says he volunteered to kill Billy, thinking it should be a friend, but instead admonishes the pirates for betraying Billy for Silver.
Silver sends Israel Hands to deal with them. He quickly kills Jacob and nearly kills Billy until Silver tells them to bring him to the Underhill Estate. They then travel to the southern coast. Max, Mr. Soames and Frasier discuss what to do. Frasier advocates surrender, but Soames refuses, saying the Spanish will offer no quarter. Frasier counters by pointing out that Soames was prepared to surrender to Long John Silver a few hours ago. While they squabble, Max notices Utley coming towards them and shushes them.
Utley tells them that the lead ship is flying Rogers' colors and using his signals, assuring them that they are not a ruse.
Soames understands that Rogers enlisted Spanish aid in ridding Nassau of the pirates and has them stand down. Max asks what about Eleanor, and is told that it would be suicide for anyone to attempt to retreive her. Max leaves anyway. The Spanish fleet avoids the fort and lays waste to Nassau. When Rogers lands, he is met by Soames, Frasier and Utley, who explain that Eleanor left the fort to complete the deal.
Rogers punches Soames in anger and tires to get Grandal to warn the men not to harm Eleanor, which he is told is impossible. Black Sails Wiki Explore. Season One I.
