Compasses, Forks &c in each of their hands: Culprit enters the Circle; the Violin plays a merry Jig; and he must run for about ten minutes, while each man runs his instruments into his Posteriors”(Under the Banner of King Death": The Social World of Anglo-American Pirates, 1716 to 1726, Marcus Rediker p.216). Rediker’s thesis also supports the nature of true piracy. He explains that commonly, sailors were beaten and mistreated. Often, the captain’s procedures lead to the dictation of the ship which
