I've been friended

In other news, have revived obssession with Pirates of the Caribbean, seeing as the soundtrack is one of the few bits of music I have in the house. It's got tot the point where I can say, 'Okay, here's Ragetti and Pintell scrubbing the deck...Jack and Barbossa are fighting...Norrington is doing his sacrificing bit...

Point: how, exactly, did Norrington explain how he a) lost the Interceptor and b) let Jack escape to his superiors at the Admiralty? Reading Hornblower (again, limited as to choice here) forces one to look at the events from the naval point of view.
