MATDR's grip upon Cayman Brac has loosened. The port, long held under the British flag, has been cast adrift into neutral waters, abandoning Great Britain's claims upon the settlement. No defenses were mounted, no further attacks remain queued, and no alterations have touched battle configurations or the tax rolls. The treasury leaderboard has shifted modestly about the middle ranks. CFS holds firm in first place with six-and-twenty ports, unmoved from yesterday's station. NINE has climbed two ranks to eleventh, though its holdings remain fixed at six. MATDR, however, has surrendered ground—slipping four ranks to thirteenth after relinquishing Cayman Brac, its dominion now reduced to six ports from seven. In the lower reaches, CPN and MORC have each advanced three places to twenty-first and twenty-second respectively, whilst R1P has retreated four ranks to twenty-fifth. The colonial powers reshuffle their positions with the tides."
