The ever-burning lantern is inside Jack's cabin, not visible from the deck. However, anyone who might have happened to see it at the moment that Jack mentioned Norrington would have noticed that the candle-flame within it burns a little bit brighter -- and a little bit sharper, with the edges of the flame glinting like the blade of a sword.
'An accident,' Merriman says again, more quietly this time, as he meets Jack's gaze with an equally bright intensity. 'What kind of accident did Mister Norrington meet with, then?'
