This is a very short scene. Sailors enter and hand a letter to Horatio. The letter is from Hamlet and in the letter Hamlet explains to Horatio that he has been captured by pirates and they want a favour from him. He also explains that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are on their way to England. The Sailors also have more letters for the king. Horatio then takes them to deliver the letters so that the sailors can take him to Hamlet. They then all exit.
