In this elaborately mounted sea faring experience, Rolfe is a leader with all a pirate's mind. Rolfe informs the others sailors of"The Mother of Voices," a mammoth bell made from gold and tall as three men, but he adds enough wrong details to throw off them the proper trail. But, the leader of a group of ambitious Moors, Aly Mansuh, sees through the narrative of Rolfe, and soon both are to be the first to catch the precious bell.
