by Janet Spencer After Spanish explorers established regular trade routes with the Americas, a new industry was born: Pirating. Come along with Tidbits as we sail the high seas! • Pirating reached its height in the years between 1650 and 1730. Pirate ships didn’t roam around hoping to chance upon a victim; they patrolled known shipping routes. During this time, many governments (particularly England) supported piracy, encouraging it as a cheap way to get expensive goods into their country. Piracy became so prevalent that seafaring trade nearly ground to a complete halt. At this point governments began working against the plunder, tracking down pirates and hanging them in public. The last pirate of this era ever hanged in England was strung up in 1840, and in 1862 the last one was hung in America. • In the mid-1600s, there were about 50,000 British sailors making an honest living on the sea, and probably somewhere between 1,000 and 5,000 British pirates making a dishonest living at the same time. During this period, about 80 pirates served on each pirate ship. The career of a pirate generally lasted only a few years or so before they were drowned or killed or jailed. Although some made a fortune and retired, it was more common for the ones who made money to squander it in short order, necessitating another trip. turn the page for more

• The image of the typical pirate that’s been passed down through history is partly true and partly false. Pirates often wore a scarf tied around their head to keep their hair out of their face and to prevent sweat from running into their eyes. They frequently went barefoot which gave them better traction on slippery decks. Pirates wore earrings because they thought it would improve their vision. (Acupuncturists say this isn’t far from the truth.) Burying their treasure is not something that happened often, although there are a few cases on record. Leaving a treasure behind left it vulnerable. Most often plunder was carried to the nearest port and sold. Likewise, walking the plank was a rare occurrence. In fact, there are only two pirates known to have used that method. One was Major Stede Bonnet, who is credited with inventing it, and the other was a Dane called Captain Derdrake. More commonly, men were simply thrown overboard. • Contrary to popular belief, a pirate ship tended to be a fairly democratic workplace. A charter establishing ship rules would be drawn up at the start of each voyage with each sailor contributing to the list and expected to stick to it. Disability pensions were awarded for pirates wounded in battle. Usually, the captain was elected by secret ballot and could be voted out of office. Likewise, ships’ officers were often elected democratically. Many pirate captains preferred to win their battles with a show of force rather than bloodthirsty slaughter. Booty was generally divided fairly, with the captain receiving a share and a half; officers receiving a share and a quarter; and crew getting one share each. Nobody on the pirate ship got paid anything at all unless they captured something of value. Most ships carried musicians on board to provide entertainment.

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver ● It was American industrialist Henry Ford who made the following sage observation: “Whether you think that you can, or that you can’t, you are usually right.” ●If you’re planning a trip to the United Kingdom this summer, you might want to add a side trip to Llanfair in Wales. The town’s Welsh name is llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantsiliogogogoch, which means, roughly, “Saint Mary’s Church in a hollow of white hazel, close to a whirlpool and Saint Tysilo’s Church and near a red cave.” The sign at the railway station that has the town’s name is 20 feet long.

• In the late 1600s, when most of humanity was still illiterate, ships flew flags with pictures on them indicating their identity and intention. Flags might depict an hourglass (indicating time running out for surrender), or a sword (indicating willingness to fight), or a skull and crossbones, which was by far the most popular design. The color of a flag also sent messages: A black flag meant the pirates would give quarter, and would spare the lives of the captured crew if the treasure was handed over without a fight. If the victims refused to lay down their weapons, a red flag (preferably dipped in blood) would be run up. If a red flag was flying, it meant no quarter would be given and the crew could expect to die. Seeing the sight of a red flag with skull and crossbones was often all it took to convince the victims to give up and hand all their goods over. After all, the cargo on board usually didn’t even belong to them. A white flag indicated surrender.
Come to us 1st and last for the best price!
• The French phrase ‘joli rouge’ means ‘pretty red’ which is thought to be the reason the pirate flag is called the Jolly Roger.

• Cannon shot was carefully aimed to destroy the sails and masts of the ships being captured without damaging the ship itself. Pirates needed to immobilize the ship but did not want to destroy it. Treasure didn’t do much good if it was sitting on the bottom of the ocean, and the boat itself was a prize worth keeping. Cannonballs were often made imperfectly on purpose because they would make more noise in flight if they were not perfectly round, and noisy cannonballs were more intimidating than silent cannonballs. • The fierce Gujarati pirates made captured merchants swallow an emetic called tamarindi mixed with salt sea water which would cause them to vomit, throwing up any gemstones they may have swallowed prior to being caught.

TOOLS 4 LIFE BY DR. JIM COYLE Principles, Priorities & Practices
Life is like music. You have high notes & you have low notes. Put the right notes together & you have a chord. Life is in harmony when we play the right notes. These three notes (principles, priorities & practices) are a harmonizing chord that resonates direction and purpose in life. Principles are a core foundation for our belief, our behavior, & our reasoning. Priorities are the things that are regarded and/or treated as more important than others. Practices are the actual application of the principles and priorities. So the journey goes from our heart to our head to our hands. If we can play these three notes at the same time we will make beautiful music. www.pastoralcarecentercr.com

ANNE BONNY & MARY READ
• Anne Bonny was born in Ireland in the late 1600s as a result of her father’s affair with a chambermaid. Her parents fled to America where her father became a wealthy merchant and plantation owner in South Carolina. • Anne married James Bonny, and they moved to a pirate’s hold-out in the Bahamas where Anne became involved in the lives of the pirates. When the Governor of the Bahamas offered money in exchange for information about the pirates, James Bonny spilled the beans, much to the wrath of Anne, who subsequently divorced him. Not long afterwards, she fell in love with a dashing young pirate named Captain Jack Rackham.

• Anne wanted to travel with Captain Rackham as he plundered the seas, but having a woman on board a ship was problematical. She started to disguise herself as a man, serving alongside the other sailors on board Rackham’s sloop called the Vanity. • In the meantime, Mary Read was born in England around 1690. When she was still an infant, her father left on a sea voyage never to return, leaving her mother destitute. Her mother decided to travel to London to beg for financial support from her mother-in-law. Knowing that the woman disliked little girls, she dressed Mary like a boy. The ploy worked, and Mary spent the rest of her childhood pretending to be a boy, even after her grandmother died. • Mary Read found that life was easier for a man than it was for a woman, so she continued to masquerade as a man even as an adult. She became a professional soldier, and fell in love with another soldier. When she revealed her secret to him, they were married and settled down to a normal husband-and-wife existence as innkeepers. • When her husband died, Mary found herself destitute. She disguised herself as a man, and got a job as a sailor aboard a ship headed to the Caribbean. When the ship was overtaken by Captain Jack Rackham, she joined Rackham’s crew aboard the Vanity. • It wasn’t long before Mary Read and Anne Bonny— both serving on the same ship, both disguised as men— discovered each other’s secret. They became best of friends and served side-by-side for the next several years. • In 1720, the Vanity was anchored off Jamaica. The men were all quite drunk. Suddenly a British navy sloop hove into view, and the Vanity was under attack. The drunken soldiers cowered below, leaving Mary and Anne to fight the invaders on their own. The women yelled at their mates to “come up, you cowards, and fight like men,” to no avail. They were overtaken, and the entire crew was taken to Jamaica for trial. • Captain Jack and his crew were tried on November 16, 1720, and sentenced to hang. Anne was allowed to visit him before his execution, and her scathing rebuke lives on in history: “Had you fought like a man, you need not have been hanged like a dog!” • Anne and Mary were tried and found guilty. But at their sentencing, when the judge asked if they had anything to say, they both revealed themselves to be pregnant. Since British law forbade killing an unborn child, their sentences were stayed temporarily. • Mary is said to have died of a fever in prison in 1721, before the birth of her child. Other reports say she feigned death and was sneaked out of the prison under a shroud.
Look for puzzle answers on page 8.
• No record of Anne’s execution has ever been found. Some say that her wealthy father bought her release after the birth of her child and she settled down to a quiet family life on a small Caribbean island.

Mediterranean Diet
A diet study has revealed some promising news for those who are at “high vascular risk,” meaning they have a greater chance of developing Alzheimer’s disease due to high blood pressure, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease or smoking. Spanish scientists found that a Mediterranean diet can benefit cognitive function -- the ability to process thoughts -- more so than a plain low-fat diet. The participants (average age 69) were assigned different diets for six years. One, a Mediterranean diet, included extravirgin olive oil and mixed nuts. The results for those on that diet were “statistically significant.” It’s thought that the diet not only reduced cognitive impairment, but also slowed its progression to dementia. Additionally, heart attack, stroke and related deaths were down by 30 percent. The key ingredient: olive oil. Apparently, a chemical in olive oil (polyphenol) clears plaque buildup from the brain seen in Alzheimer’s disease. The Mayo Clinic likes the Mediterranean diet, too. Its website cites research showing that the diet was associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular mortality, cancer, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases. What does the Mediterranean diet consist of? A lot of vegetables. Lots and lots of vegetables. Specifically: Plant-based foods such as vegetables and fruits -- nine servings a day Grains, rice, pasta and no-salt nuts Whole-grain bread dipped in olive oil Virgin or extra-virgin olive or canola oil instead of butter No salt -- instead use herbs and spices Red meat no more than a few times a month Fish and poultry at least twice a week Fatty fish, such as mackerel, tuna and salmon, high in omega-3. Go online for recipes or check your library for Mediterranean diet cookbooks. Ask if your doctor thinks this kind of diet would be appropriate for you.

• A buccaneer was a pirate who operated in the Caribbean. In the 1600s various misfits such as runaway slaves, criminals hiding out, and sailors who had deserted their ships began roaming around the island that is now Haiti. They hunted wild pigs and cattle, drying the meat to preserve it. The drying racks they used were called ‘boucans’ and this group of rag-tag men subsequently became known as buccaneers. They traded their dried meat for goods carried by ships that were heading back to Europe. The Spanish had claimed the island as their territory so the presence of these buccaneers was unwanted. To drive them off, the Spaniards not only murdered them whenever possible, but also slaughtered their cattle and pigs. Angry, the buccaneers organized a resistance and drove the Spaniards off. Not satisfied with that, the buccaneers then took their revenge to the sea, raiding every Spanish ship they could capture. Finding this profitable, they often attacked ships from other countries as well. The heyday of buccaneers in the Caribbean waned by the end of the 1600s as the Spanish presence in the Caribbean began to fall off. • A privateer was essentially a pirate whose plundering was sanctioned and often underwritten by the government that the pirate worked for. Captains of privately owned boats carried documents known as Letters of Marque which officially authorized them to attack and plunder ships belonging to whatever country their homeland was warring with at the time. (‘Marque’ came from the German word ‘march’ meaning border; the Letters of Marque gave the captains permission to cross international boundaries.) Generally the sponsoring government received a share of the privateer’s loot. • Privateering reached its zenith between 1589 and 1815, when privateers acted as auxiliary members of the navy. When a particular war ended, the Letters of Marque issued for that war expired and the privateers found themselves out of work. Reluctant to give up the way of life, many of them became pirates instead and attacked whatever ships they ran across. During the War of 1812, privateers disregarded the rules laid down by their Letters of Marque and began attacking whatever ships they found. Because of these abuses, the Declaration of Paris, signed in 1856 by France and England, abolished privateering. This declaration later became part of general international law. • Then there were the regular pirates, who attacked not only other ships but also any likely-looking towns on shore. The cost of operating pirate ships was often underwritten by wealthy businessmen who invested in the venture hoping to make a profit. • Captain Kidd was licensed by the British government to capture enemy merchant ships and bring the plunder home. But one ship he preyed on was owned by rich, influential men who had connections. They complained to King William III— the same man who had commissioned Kidd— and Kidd was tricked, trapped, and brought to trial. Evidence was withheld that would have saved him, and Kidd went to the gallows, undeserving of his reputation as an evil pirate. • Philosopher Diogenes was captured by pirates in order to be sold into slavery. The pirate captain wanted to know if he had any trade or skills. Diogenes replied that all he knew was how to govern men. “Sell me to a man who needs a master!” he said. The pirate immediately put him to work as tutor to his two sons.
