I would decide for myself whether this or that proceeding would be proper, generous, and worthy of my unlimited power when tired of sailing, I would retire to my island, - the position of which, in a beautiful semi-tropic ocean, would be known only to myself and to my crew, - and there I would pass happy days in the company of my books, my works of art, and all the various treasures I had taken from the mercenary vessels which I had overhauled. My men would be devoted to me, and my word would be their law. The rest of their lives by a judicious distribution of my booty. “Two of the pirates went down into the hole” “The boat was run through the surf to the beach”
“Blackbeard told Bonnet that he was not fit to be a pirate captain, and that he would send somebody to take charge of the Revenge” “Maynard was a practised swordsman, and the great Blackbeard went down upon his back” “Morgan began to upbraid them, and ordered them taken below” “The money and spoils were divided among all the buccaneers” “When the slave came back to Roc, the letter was given to him with very particular directions” “In a small boat filled with some of his trusty men he rowed quietly into the port”
“The pirate soon floated out of sight and hearing” “The best marksmen, crouching close to the deck, fired and fired whenever a Spanish head was to be seen” “They set all sail, and there was a fine sea-chase” Haunts of “The Brethren of the Coast”: Map “The pirates climbed up the sides of the man-of-war as if they had been twenty-nine cats” The Great Blackbeard comes upon the Stage
