Smoker Nix:
This brawl has been going on so long I'd clean forgotten the bomb was remote-controlled. Sorry.
It is I who should apologise, it's been long enough that I needed to look that up as well.
The bomb being remote-detonated just allows you some leeway. You have not had a chance to search for Brother Edgar yet. He could be in the rear engine compartment on the lower deck, where you are now. Killing the prisoners simply to sink and already-crippled boat and take out Big Al is not particularly heroic, but not unprecedented or completely off-brand for the Wasted West!
