Hie lime of the klnu'. r.int'lainntion. In
1717, giving ttio rovers of the West
Indies a year in whlehlo sni render and
recievo pardon, tip' prlva'eers, who,
sluco tlie peace of Utrecht, had become
legally ns well as actually pirates, made
tl e Island, of 1'rovldence their head
quarters. The numerous beys or islets
of tho Ou If of Mexico afforded thoin
atnplo accommodation' for rcrecnlng
their ships, and hiding out of the way
of cruisers; while the situation was
favorable for sallying out and infesting
tho course of merchant ships trading
between Europe and America. Not
content, however, with picking up mer
chantmeu, they occasionally ventured
on enterprises worthy of their nredeees
sors tho buccaneers. In 1710 one of
these vcntuies was crowned with com
plete success. About two yeats earlier
the Spanish gatleons or (date lleet had
been cast away In the Otilf of Florida,
and several vessels from the Havanas
were at work witli diving engines, to
fish up tho silver on board the galleons.
Tho Spaniards had recovered some mil
lions of pieces of eight, whluh they had
carried to Havana; but they had then
about three hundred and fifty thousand

was done iti time of full peace, but the
government of Jamaica, on compl.i'nt
buiug made to them, main an upmar,
of which tlio issue was that the pirates
were allowed to escape with their booty,
and to make their peace on the appear
ance of the king's proclamation, in too
following year.
It does not appear that Jennings re
l.ipeil in to his old trade, but. tlm great
majority of tlie roveis iinqneitlonal'y
did so. Among these were the famous
or infamous Teach (.ill is Illackbeard),
Edward E iglaud, OliarUs Vane, nnd
several of the mo-teeli-lirated rovers of
the time. The career of lllacktieard, as
narrated by Captain John-on, throws a

Illackbeard was a typical pirate pos
sessed with a mania for getting marrio'i.
His friend tlm governor.after the man

his fourteenth wife -a young creature
of sixteen whom lie lieated 'Candil

Ou tho couttary, he had, at the period
referred to about a dozen living in vail
ous places. Obviously he was a man of
domestic instincts modified bj a roving
life, and liked to have somebody towel
couio hi tu home wherever ho was. His
cognomen of Bhickbeard was derived
from "th it large quantity of lial' whloh,
like a frightful meteor, covered his
whole fuce, and frightened America
more than any comet that has appear
