John Halsey unique in that he not only died Is in bed not with his boots on, as so many pirates did, but that he was given honors of war when buried. Halsey began as a privateer off the Newfoundland banks under a commission from tile governor of Massachusetts, but no sooner was he out of sight of land than he turned pirate. After capturing a few fishing vessels he sailed for the Canary islands, where pirating promised to be more lucrative. After capturing a Spanish vessel near the Canaries he sailed around the Cape of Good Hope for a visit with the pirates in Madagascar. In the Red Sea he overhauled a fine Dutch ship armed with 60 guns, then by some strange quirk of conscience decided that thereafter he would leave the shipping of Christian nations alone and prey upon Moorish shipping only. His crew became angry at his announcement to this effect, mutinied, and threw him into irons.

A hurricane destroyed his ships, and he immediately seized the Scotch vessel. Then he attacked and seized another ship filled with merchandise which the pirates had just sold to Its captain and for which they had received their pay. Captain Halsey died of a tropical fever In 1716. From a contemporary the following account of his funeral Is taken : With great solemnity, the prayers of the Church of England being read over him, and his sword and pistols laid on his coffin, which was covered with a ships Jack. As many minute guns were fired as he was old, viz: 46, and three English volleys and one French volley of small arms.

Misson came of an ancient French family in Provence and was well educated. Reading books of travel gave him a desire to see the far corners of the earth and during a visit in Rome he made an acquaintance which changed his whole career. This was Signor Caraeoioli, a Dominican, who had given up the priesthood for a gosMispel of atheism and communism. son became a convert to Caracciolis views and they became comrades on a French privateer. When the captain of this vessel was killed in a battle with an English ship, the Italian, who was something of a soap box orator, stepped forward with an eloquent address and a proposal that Misson should become captain. Misson replied with a speech that was even more florid and under this flood of oratory, the volatile French sailors broke forth into cries of Vive le Capitaine Misson et son Lieutenant le Scavant ! and endorsed the election. The first question that the new officers were calk'd upon to decide was a choice of the flag under which they were to sail. One sailor was so foolish as to propose the dread emblem of piracy, the black flag. This brought forth another flood of oratory from the new lieutenant, filled with references to Peoples Rights and Liberties, ths and Oppression Yoke of Tyranny and Poverty." Their lives, he declared, unlike the life of a pirate were to b brave and Just and Innocent and theii cause of the Liberty. He suggested a white ensign with the motto For God and Liberty on it. Again the sailors were swept away by the eloquence and with cries of Liberty! Liberty I. We are free men I and a plentiful supply of vives for both men, they ratified the decision.
