That is not the Dryad. It has three masts.''There is no concealing anything from the Doctor,' said Jack, and turning directly to him he went on, 'Give you joy of our prize: we took her in the night.''Breakfast is disgracefully late,' said Stephen.
In the scene from "Treason's Harbour" by Patrick O'Brian, the characters engage in a conversation about a ship not being the Dryad, which is notable for having three masts. Jack reveals to another character, presumably the Doctor, that they successfully captured a prize vessel during the night, suggesting a triumphant and perhaps daring endeavor on their part.
Additionally, Stephen comments on the situation, noting that breakfast has been served much later than expected. This remark might indicate a blend of humor and frustration amidst the unfolding events, highlighting the characters' personalities and the typical life at sea, which often involves unexpected challenges and delays.
