Transcriber's Notes

The original text had in four places white spaces of the size of approximately one word, left out for unknown reasons. These have been marked by "......".

On page 289, the name of Mary Stead appears instead of Anne Bonny. This has been preserved as in the original.

On page 308, George Bendal is erroneously listed twice in a list of nine men, making it ten names in total. This has remained uncorrected.

On page 337, an opening bracket is never closed.

The original spelling was mostly preserved. A few obvious typographical errors were silently corrected. Further careful corrections are listed here (before/after):
