Emissive surface (2900K) on the radio panel Point light (2900K) in front of radio for improved emissive lighting Additional spot (2900K) to cheat for the light on the face

From "When I Sailed With The Pirate King" a novel in progress by myself. (c) 2016
But soon the misty white fog, steaming off the waves, was upon us now, rolling over us as thick as peas soup. And I saw no lantern in the well. Sometimes you are so cocksure of yourself, you are sure to cock yourself up all the more in the case of any error and that seemed to be the case here. So I leaned over to the port side and up and down the misty waves seeing nothing, the zoom on my telescope only making the worse of it.
Beside me my companions eyed the breakers to the East and the area near the shoreline out past London port that we had not yet seen. And then with a tinny rin, tin, tin in a flash all the way around on the other side of the scull I heard the bell ringing. I looked up to see her, the “Castelle” one of the two ships I had bought! And where was the other, the “Trident of Neptune”? We had to slow down not to run into the Castelle, but had not seen the other ship yet. And up on decks the engineers, and a skeleton crew, soon to have new heads... as my scull, and soon my skully wag crewmen ran forward to greet her in typical pirate fashion.
