The story would be less depressing with a redeeming ending, suitable to AR's characters. For example, as the captives are about to be put aboard and taken away, everyone notices that the boat is sinking. Nancy, unseen, swam around from the secret harbor and pulled the drain plug. Peggy had put her ashore and sailed away when they saw the invading forces.
I know I would feel better about the situation, with the Amazon's showing what happens when you mess with a pirate's allies. A small victory like that would even cheer the Swallows somewhat, even in captivity.
