'Our patrols on the water took us west into the Bay of Belfalas. Sometimes into the Great Sea. We never ventured far enough south to threaten Umbar, but the Corsairs from the south would trespass into Gondorian water often.'

'Once we spied a ship moored off the coast of Tolfalas with its sails drawn down. We recognized it at once as Yarikh's ship. Our captain set us to task as we made our way to intercept the Corsair crew on the island....'

Knowing now how the battle on the shore transpired, you should speak with the mariner.
