MAJOR STEDE BONNET, AND HIS CREW

They immediately put him in irons, and hand-cuffed him, and then put him between decks, in a place prepared for prisoners.
Transcriber's Note
Fraser notes in his foreword to this book that the original author's spelling was "indefinite even for his own day", and adds that it has "has been more or less modernized" in this edition; however, there are still many inconsistencies in spelling, use of hyphenation and italics, and capitalisation of words. These inconsistencies, along with archaic spelling, have been retained throughout.
Minor typographic errors in punctuation have been corrected without note. The word 'with' was printed as 'htiw' , and has been corrected. The word 'were' has been amended to 'where' , for the sentence to make sense. Two instances of transposed letters have also been corrected--sieze changed to seize, and Goaler changed to Gaoler. The original title page illustration also contained an error, Jnae, which referred to a month. This was cross-checked with the rest of the text, and has been amended to read June in the transcription of the text.
The frontispiece illustration has been moved to follow the front matter.
