Haytham in his cabin

The crew above decks were singing a song amidst the journey.
Haytham was working in his cabin, noting down his
examinations of the amulet he took at the opera house.
• Haytham: Some fresh air might do me good...
Haytham entered one of the cabins.
• Haytham: Have a moment to talk?
• Rupert: Ah, a fellow Londoner! Good to see I'm not the only
man of means aboard. Rupert Martin, pleased to meet you.
• Haytham: Haytham Kenway. Pleasure.
• Rupert: Seems we picked an excellent time to leave the city.
 • Haytham: Oh?
• Rupert: You didn't hear about the murder at the opera
house?
• Haytham: No. What happened?
• Rupert: They're still trying to sort it out. And I suspect
they'll be at it for a good while.
• Haytham: Any word on the motive?
• Rupert: They've ruled out robbery. So perhaps it was a
business arrangement gone sour. Or something more
personal... more lurid. Who knows. But I am glad to be
away from it. The city grows more dangerous by the day.
Haytham then entered the infirmary, and spoke to the ship
doctor, who was tending to a sailor.
• Haytham: Good morning, Doctor.
• Doctor: To you as well.
• Haytham: A question, if I may. Do you serve aboard the
ship? Or are you simply taking passage?
• Doctor: A bit of both, actually. I've been commissioned by
the Royal Navy to study maritime illness. I'll be observing
the crew during the journey. We have found that sailors fare
far better on the open seas than the rest of us. I hope to
discover why that is.
• Haytham: Well, I hope you are successful in your endeavors.
• Doctor: As do I. Thank you for the kind words.
Haytham then made his way to the upper deck, where he met the
ship's captain, Samuel Smythe.
• Haytham: Captain.
• Smythe: Mister Kenway.
• Haytham: I just wanted to thank you again for taking me
aboard, and apologize for any inconvenience it may have
caused.
• Smythe: Inconvenience would be an understatement.
• Haytham: I'm sorry, I don't follow.
 • Smythe: My ship was held in port for two days that we
might accommodate you. I lost several contracts as a result.
• Haytham: I had no idea...
• Smythe: Of course not. You nobles are all the same...
Haytham then walked up to a group of sailors.
• Mills: ...and then all will be well.
• Graves: You sure 'bout that?
• Mills: Of course! Have I ever led you astray?
• Graves: Nah... But it don't sit right wit' the others.
• Mills: Have faith, my friend. You'll see.
• Graves: Well, well. Seems our esteemed guest has deigned
grace us wit' 'is presence! You might want to head back to
your quarters. Top deck's no place for Tender Parnells.
• Haytham: So I thought. And yet, here you are.
• Graves: Fancy yourself a joker, eh? Let's see how funny you
find this.
• Mills: That's enough, Graves.
• Graves: Stay outta this!

Graves challenging Haytham to a brawl

Haytham and Graves engaged in hand-to-hand combat, with
Haytham emerging victorious.
• Quill: Listen ta this, Hector—thinks he can swagger on up
'ere and declare himself king 'o the castle.
• Mills: Please fellas—call this off. If the captain sees us—
• Quill: —Ta hell with the captain! And ta hell with you, Mills!
Whose side you on, anyway?
Haytham and Quill then fought as well, with Haytham once again
proving the winner.
• Graves: I'm ready to go again if you are.
 • Haytham: This is unwise.
• Graves: Why's that? Ya think I'm afraid of ya?
• Haytham: No. But you should be.
Haytham beat Graves to the ground.
• Haytham: Do you yield?
• Graves: Never.
Graves then pulled out a knife.
• Graves: How do you like these odds?
Haytham managed to disarm Graves, but Captain Smythe
arrived.
• Smythe: What's the meaning of this?
• Haytham: Captain.
• Smythe: Explain yourself at once, Mister Kenway!
• Haytham: These fou—
• Mills: We were simply passing the time with a bit of sport,
Captain.
• Smythe: How about you pass the time by doing your god-
damned jobs instead?! I wasn't aware I was paying you to
loll about! A word, please—Mister Kenway?

Haytham warning Smythe

Haytham went to follow Smythe, but slowed to a stop.
• Haytham: Oh, I nearly forgot.
Haytham span around and threw the knife between Graves' feet.
• Haytham: There's your knife back.
Haytham followed Smythe into his quarters.
• Smythe: I don't care for you, Mister Kenway. I've had
nothing but trouble since you came aboard.
 • Haytham: Your problems have nothing to do with me.
• Smythe: I beg your pardon?!
• Haytham: You're a poor leader, ill-tempered and cruel. And
it's clear your crew has no respect for you.
• Smythe: Look—I don't want to argue. In fact, I need a
favor...
• Haytham: Oh? This is rich...
• Smythe: I suspect some of the men intend to mutiny.
• Haytham: Really, what a surprise.
• Smythe: As I cannot trust any of them, I am compelled to
turn to you.
• Haytham: And why should I help you?
• Smythe: Because if they do intend to betray, I'm the only
hope you have of reaching America alive. Well? What will it
be?
• Haytham: If what you say is true, what other choice do I
have?
• Smythe: Thank y—
• Haytham: But let me be clear, should you ever dare to insult
or threaten me again, I'll not hesitate to cut off your head
myself. Are we understood? Excellent! Good day.
Haytham proceeded to speak to the helmsman.
• Helmsman: Hello, sir.
• Haytham: Do you expect we'll have a pleasant crossing?
• Helmsman It is a quiet time of year—though rogue storms
and troubled waters are not unheard of. But no need to fret.
At worst they'll prove an inconvenience. I'm more concerned
about pirates and rogue privateers.
• Haytham: Have you encountered them before?
• Helmsman: Aye. But the Providence is a strong ship—and
her crew well trained. They will surely keep us safe.

Smythe asking Haytham to investigate the crew
Several days passed without any sign of the mutiny. Haytham sat
in his cabin, looking at the amulet, when Smythe walked by.
• Smythe: Mister Kenway.
• Haytham: Captain.
• Smythe: Whatever they're up to—I believe it's coming to a
head.
• Haytham: Then I'd best get to work.
Haytham went to interrogate the crew members, and overheard
some of them talking.
• Sailor 1: He's cut our rations again. Claims we're not
"provisioned" for such luxuries.
• Sailor 2: It's not right that he should feast on lamb and
wine, whilst we're stuck with tinned fish and biscuits...
• Sailor 1: Someone needs to have words with him...
• Sailor 2: Mills tried. Captain turned him away.
• Sailor 1: Then he must try again, with more force, if need
be!
• Sailor 3: He's a shifty fella. Won't hardly take his hat off!
Keeps his face hidden too, so we he can't see him
watching—
• Sailor 4: Quiet! Here he comes. Make like you're working!
• Sailor 5: You're not having second thoughts, are you?
• Sailor 6: I know it needs to be done, but...
• Sailor 5: But what?
• Sailor 6: I have a wife and two daughters. What if it goes
wrong?
• Sailor 5: There's no one aboard doesn't agree with us. The
longer we wait, the longer we go without.
Haytham approached Graves.
• Graves: You lookin' for another fight, that it? Go away.
Haytham continued his search.
 • Quill: I ain't got nothing to say to you.
Haytham spoke to Mills.
• Mills: Quite the basting you gave Graves and Quill.
• Haytham: Wasn't by choice.
• Mills: Aye. Blockheads, the both of them. Where are my
manners. Louis Mills. Pleased to meet you.
• Haytham: Haytham Kenway. So, should I be watching my
back?
• Mills: I think the boys learned their lesson. They're
normally not so nasty. Honest, it's just the past few
crossings have been a bit... rough.
• Haytham: Oh?
• Mills: Captain's trying to cut costs. Reduced rations, lower
wages, more dangerous cargo... It's put the crew on edge.
• Haytham: Is there cause for concern, then?
• Mills: Not if I can help it. But the Captain needs to think
about the way he treats his men...
Haytham continued to another sailor.
• Haytham: You there. I have some questions for you.
• Sailor 5: That's nice. But I ain't got time to gossip. Probably
wouldn't have anything useful to share anyway. You want
information? Try the cook—or the doctor—everyone's
always chatting them up.
If Haytham spoke to the doctor
If Haytham spoke to the cook
Haytham approached the doctor and talked to him again.
• Haytham: A word, doctor. If you have a moment.
• Doctor: Why, have you taken ill?
• Haytham: No, nothing like that. I was wondering if you had
heard any rumblings of trouble on board.
• Doctor: What sort of trouble?
 • Haytham: Unusual complaints or grievances. Men taking
issue with the Captain or his—
• Doctor: You sound just like James. Like I've told him, I've
been much too busy with my research to hear anything not
work-related.
• Haytham: And where might I find James?
• Doctor: The galley's your best bet. Now, if you'll excuse
me...
Haytham approached the cook.
• Cook: Won't be serving for another couple hours. Some
biscuits in the barrel if you're desperate.
• Haytham: Actually I've come with a question.

Haytham talking with the cook

• Cook: What's that?
• Haytham: Have any of the men been acting strange
recently? Said anything that struck you as out of the
ordinary?
• Cook: The boys cry about the rations, as if there's anything I
can do about it. But beyond that I ain't heard much. My
advice? Go find James. His ears are always open.
• Haytham: And where might I find him?
• Cook: Right behind you, actually. He's the one sitting on the
barrel.
Haytham turned around and spoke with James.
• Haytham: Are you James?
• James: Aye.
• Haytham: Haytham Kenway. Pleased to meet you.
• James: I know who you are.
• Haytham: I was hoping you could answer some questions.
• James: I figured as much... But not here. Follow me.
James and Haytham went to the upper deck.
• James: So what do you want to know?
• Haytham: Have you seen or heard anything out of the
ordinary since we left port? Anything that gives cause for
concern?
• James: Some of the men have been gathering at night on the
upper deck. I've only caught bits of their conversations—so I
couldn't say for certain what they're up to. But I suspect it
bodes ill...
• Haytham: Is it a mutiny they're planning?
• James: All I know is they've little love for the captain. Mills
has been trying to talk 'em down, but... there's only so much
one man can do.
• Haytham: Thank you for the information.
• James: I only wish to see us reach the colonies alive.
Haytham went to talk to Smythe.
• Smythe: You must expose whatever they're plotting.
• Haytham: Your crew is a tight-lipped bunch, but I'll see
what I can do...
• Smythe: Well, hurry up!

Haytham discovering the trail of barrels

Haytham then talked to the helmsman again.
• Helmsman: Evening, sir.
• Haytham: How are things?
• Helmsman: Calm and quiet—just the way I like it. What
brings you topside?
• Haytham: Thought I'd wander a bit. Stretch my legs. That's
all.
• Helmsman: Take care where you tread. The deck hides all
manner of danger in the dark...
A splashing sound was then heard.
• Haytham: What was that? Someone's throwing cargo
overboard... But why?
Haytham then went to the lower deck again, where he discovered
some marked barrels. He then went back to his cabin for some
sleep.
• Haytham: Curious. Most curious.
A few days passed before Haytham and Smythe met again on the
quarter deck.
• Smythe: Any news?
• Haytham: Each night it's the same. I scout one area and they
drop the painted barrels from another. I'm going to need to
recruit an extra pair of eyes. Maybe James or Mills.
• Smythe: Why are they doing this?
• Haytham: Near as I can tell, the barrels serve as markers.
They're leaving a trail. I fear it is only a matter of time
before whoever's following it—
• Lookout: Ship sighted aft! She's making ready to fire!
Haytham and Smythe looked up to where the lookout pointed in
the distance.
• Smythe: Beat to quarters, men! Ready the—
The pursuing ship fired a broadside of cannons. Haytham and
Smythe ducked below the railings.
• Smythe: Brace! Everybody down!
The shots sailed harmlessly past into the water. Haytham and
Smyhe stood back up.
• Smythe: A warning shot. It seems they don't mean to sink
us, but board us instead. Man the cannons! Make ready to
fight!
Smythe turned to Haytham.
 • Smythe: I want you below decks.
• Haytham: Why? Let me help you secure the ship.
• Smythe: Do you know how to rig a sail? To load a cannon?
To wage war at sea? I didn't think so. Now return to your
cabin—or do I need to have you escorted?

Haytham dueling Mills

Haytham went below deck, where he was confronted by Mills.
• Smythe: Secure the hatch!
• Mills: Haytham.
• Haytham: Have you been topside? A ship's appeared and
means to board us. But it's strange... There's no sign of
mutiny aboard... It doesn't even make sense.
• Mills: Ah, but it does.
• Haytham: What do you mean?
• Mills: Did you think you could escape from London so easily
after what you did at the opera? That we wouldn't notice?
That we wouldn't follow?
• Haytham: Ahhh... So THAT'S what this is about...
• Mills: Surrender and I will see that you are treated with
honor.
• Haytham: If you wish to treat me with honor, give me a
sword.
• Mills: Are you sure this is how you want to play it?
The two men then engaged in a swordfight, and Haytham
managed to defeat his opponent, striking a fatal blow. After that,
Haytham ventured topside again.
• Smythe: I told you to stay below decks!
• Haytham: I did as you asked, only Mills was there waiting
for me. He's the one that drew that ship here. There was no
mutiny—only him.
 • Smythe: What do they want?
• Haytham: Me.
• Smythe: Then they can have you!
• Haytham: Is that so?
Haytham activated his Hidden Blade. Smythe backed away in
fear.
• Smythe: They'll catch us anyway... There's nothing to be
done.
• Haytham: I can think of something...

Aquila pursuing the Providence through the storm

Haytham retracted his Hidden Blade and looked over to dark
clouds that had formed in the sky above the sea, some distance
away.
• Smythe: You wish us to sail INTO the storm?!
• Haytham: It's our only chance.
• Smythe: I won't do it.
• Haytham: Then I will.
Haytham put his right hand on Smythe's shoulder and activated
his Hidden Blade again.
• Smythe: Alright, alright.
Haytham again retracted his blade, having made his point clear.
Smythe sailed the Providence into the storm.
• Smythe: We need those ropes secured! I told you this was
madness!
• Haytham: Calm yourself. I'll fix your sail for you.
Haytham went and secured the ropes.
• Smythe: We need more speed! Loose the sails! Haytham—
you take the foremast. James—the main mast with you!
 • James: Aye, aye!
Lightning struck and destroyed the main mast, causing James to
hang for his life.
• James: Hurry! I can't hold on much longer!
The rope's too wet, I'm slipping!
Before James could fall, Haytham quickly freeran over the fallen
beam and leapt through the air to tackle him to a lower platform.
• James: Thank you! Thank you!
Haytham watched as the pursuing ship sank. Again, several days
passed before he and Smythe met again.
• Smythe: Make ready for our arrival, men!
• Haytham: Arrival? I see no land... only this interminable
fog.
• Smythe: The gulls tell us all we need to know. Climb into
the crow's nest and you'll see.
Haytham climbed to the crow's nest of the vessel and caught his
first glimpse of America.
Outcome[]
Despite a rough journey, Haytham safely reached Boston,
allowing him to start his search for the Isu storehouse.
Behind the scenes[]
The song sung by sailors in the beginning is "Haul on the
bowline", a popular sea shanty.
The memory spanned 72 days.
Despite the countdown timer, there is no impact on the story if
players do not rescue James in the allotted time. Instead, the
game will mark the optional objective as failed and James will
continue to dangle from the rope until rescued.
