Under Annie's calm, decisive command, the entire fleet soon sailed toward the island in good order and successfully found a safe, sheltered harbor.
Once the ships had come to a steady stop, Dunn immediately began making arrangements for what came next.

Then, without pause, he organized the main force to land on the island as quickly as possible and begin building a temporary camp that, though crude, could shelter them from the wind and rain.
Before long, the whole group had somewhere to shelter for the time being. Since nearly all the crew were exhausted, Dunn assigned no one to patrol and guard the camp.
