About this book
Pirate Tales from the Law is by Arthur M. Harris. The text quotes a document giving assurance of a most gracious pardon unto all such pirates in the East Indies, all eastward of the Cape of Good Hope, who shall surrender themselves for piracies or robberies committed by them upon sea or land. The pardon excepts Henry Every, alias Bridgman, and William Kidd, and is given at the court at Kensington on the 8th day of December, 1698.
The text says the pirates were thoroughly fed with butter, and out of almost every capture they had taken butter, until it was butter, butter and nothing but butter. The text says the Adventure promised to become a sort of floating grocery store, specializing on butter, with coffee a strong second. The text says Kidd finally herded some one hundred and sixty men all told on the deck for watch divisions when the Adventure was geared for sea.
