Funny_Bunny Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) What be yer Articles about yer ship?The articles of Pagan Pete be; I) The Captain and Quartermaster to receive two shares of a prize: the master, boatswain, and gunner, one share and a half, and other officers one and quarter. II) No person to game at cards or dice for money. III) The lights and candles to be put out at eight o'clock at night: if any of the crew, after that hour still remained inclined for drinking, they were to do it on the open deck. IV) To keep their piece, pistols, and cutlass clean and fit for service. V) To desert the ship or their quarters in battle, was punished with death or marooning. VI) No striking one another on board, but every man's quarrels to be ended on shore, at sword and pistol. (The quarter-master of the ship, when the parties will not come to any reconciliation, accompanies them on shore with what assistance he thinks proper, and turns the disputant back to back, at so many paces distance; at the word of command, they turn and fire immediately, (or else the piece is knocked out of their hands). If both miss, they come to their cutlasses, and then he is declared the victor who draws the first blood.) VII) The cabin boy and powered monkeys to have rest on Friday, but the other six days and nights, none without special favour. VIII) If any Man shall lose a Joint in time of an Engagement, shall have 400 Pieces of Eight ; if a Limb, 800. IX)He that sees a Sail first, shall have the best Pistol or Small Arm aboard of her. X) That every man shall keep his watch night and day; and at the hour of eight in the evening every one shall retire from gaming and drinking, in order to attend his respective station.

maturin Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Wouldn't pirates be pissed off if they only got 1/100th of the worth of every prize? Of course, naval captains would be stuck with a 1/5 or so, IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
