Late that night the two fathers meet up to discuss the events of the evening and how they are going to resolve things.  Sir Hector is very reluctant to let his daughter fight, but he eventually agrees to it when the Captain threatens him with a duel to the death if his daughter's honour is not satisfied.  Sir Hector insists that the fight should take place in absolute privacy at his plantation and that he should be given a few days to make the necessary arrangements.
"I suggest a bare knuckle fist fight would be the most appropriate form of fight." suggests the Captain.
"Oh no way!" exclaims Sir Hector.  "I can't have my daughter's face being bruised or cut!  I think it has to be a wrestling fight!"
"OK" agrees the sailor, "but no holds barred and they must be both butt naked!"
Reluctantly Sir Hector agrees to these arrangements and the date is set for the fight at dawn in two days time.
