"Heh, Missy." Monky came up beside her. "Heard ye'was hunting sea serpents."
"That's what the crew's calling them." Cal didn't take her eyes off the boats.
"This young man of yours, is he a good'un?"
"One of the best."
"No less than you deserve, Missy." Monky slid something into her hand. "Happens I won a spyglass in a card game. Don't have much use fer it in the engine room. And if my beau was out after sea serpents, I'd want t'see clear. Draw me a pict're when th're done." He vanished as quickly as he'd come.
Cal extended the glass and watched through it.
