The pirate word appears! A Summary of Pirates at Sea

15

Once on his ship, a pirate consults his charts to plot acourse. He will sail close to the coastline only if it’s desertedand not too shallow. The depth of the water will be measured by the fathom, which is about six feet.

Even on a seaworthy vessel, a life spent sailing theworld’s oceans is full of danger. To avoid a watery gravesunken with Davy Jones at the bottom of the sea, watchout for stormy weather. In heavy rain, a bucket comes inhandy to bail water, but it may be useless when the ship isyawing, or swerving, in the waves. If a ship needs to travelfast ahead of a storm, valuable heavy cargos might be tossedoverboard as jetsam.

Other hazards are found on shipboard during a voyage.Vermin such as rats can cause disease, and lack of fresh foodleads to an illness called scurvy. Tripping on loose boardson deck can send one overboard. And beware of setting awooden ship afire with a dropped candle, although the partitions between compartments, called bulkheads, willlikely keep flames from spreading. Many dangers can earn apirate’s casket a place in the boneyards back on land.

16

To break up the tedium of sailing, a pirate keeps an eyeout for anything interesting. Welcome sights might includean exotic island, a seadog, or rainbow in the fog, and smallpilot whales called blackfish. When spotting such a sight, apirate might exclaim, “blimey!”

Because of all that time at sea without a barber, piratesusually have scruffy beards or a long moustache. Bathing isnot common. The stench and groans coming from one’sbunkmates may tempt a pirate to walk the planks.

A Summary of Pirates on Land

57

A pirate finds his most lucrative loot when he goes ashore insundry far-off locales. He may slash through the jungle tosteal pearls from a native. Or he may filch gold ingots fromother pirates’ hoards hidden in a secret cavern. But watchout for quicksand!

Once a ship wharfs, or docks in port and drops anchor,the pirate’s life is very different. Piracy is illegal. A pirate is a wanted criminal and must hide from the authorities, or thejailer will take away his weapon and throw the pirate in thejailhouse. The sorry pirate who is caught will wait in chainsuntil various trials are brought against him.

However, if a sneaky pirate feels it is safe to disembark,there are drinks and brawls to be had in the tavern. To getaround, horses can be rented from a livery. There’s also business to be done. The pirate may purchase gunpowder forhis pistol. A trip to the smithy to get a sword repaired willcost only a few farthings.

58

Pirates on Land Puzzles

A vain pirate may show off his wealth by buying whitepowder for his wig and by paying for elaborate and costlymetalwork, such as a silver belt buckle inlaid with a garnetstone. He might also make a trip to the goldsmith . . . not tobuy, but to sell stolen gold!

Nefarious pirates are always up to no good. A pirate is anoutlaw or bandit, always running from the authorities, andhe will vanish from the scene of his crime.

A pirate may even betray his own kind and ambushthe captain of the ship with a mutiny to take command.Such dangerous actions can lead to a shipwreck or to beingcursed by a captain’s vengeful spirit. At the very least, bladeswill be drawn and swordplay will ensue.

Leaving behind the perils and possible wrecks at sea, apirate has many ways to take people’s money on land. Onepopular gambit, or scheme, is to kidnap a damsel. A smartscoundrel will take the daughter of rich merchants so heknows there will be a gold chest for ransom.

The Pirate Plots Puzzles

Another ploy is to take on a pseudonym, or falsename, and pose as a shipowner’s lackey. Pretending to be aservant, the pirate can sneak into the household and thenrun away with his purloined items before discovery.

Any one of a ship’s crew can pose as a regular sailorand go carousing at night with other celebrating sailors. Butthe pirate will pick people’s pockets until he bankrupts theentire room. A pirate often brings along a pet monkey whoalso has pickpocketing skills.
