Pelham asked Jack to know if he had a map after which Carteret said to him that they should confiscate the map and send Jack to execution. After Jack told them that he lost the map, Pelham and Carteret asked him to know if he knows the way to the Fountain of Youth that much so he could send an expedition to the area, which Jack began to inquire that only a ship and a crew would help reach the Fountain. However, Barbossa came in and approached Jack, reuniting with him, as Carteret became aware of Barbossa arriving at the Palace; King George then continued to resume the matter of Barbossa completing his search for the Fountain of Youth before the Spanish arrived.
