Thief to Thief" «C ®T a thief to take • thief--that ancient axiom may or mny not have been penned In the year 1696, but aa events in the Ufa of one Capt. William Kldd, turned out that's what It finally amounted ,t«. For Captain Kldd, the most famous freebooter In all history, started out as an avowed enemy of pirates. His becoming a pirate himself was an afterthought, and probably as much a surprise to him as It was to certain Influential friends of hie who were expecting him [to put rich profits In their pockets. I For when Captain Kldd sailed from fPlymouth for New Tort In the spring (of 1666 In the little galley "Adven tare," he bore the commission ot his * majesty, King William III, to go forth and take four notorious sea rbbbens. Captains Too, Ireland, Wake and Maze, "who dally comtntt many and great piracies, robberies and depredations upon the seas of America and in other ports and also all such pirates, freebooters and sea rovers, be- In* oisr own subjects, or of any other nations associated with them, which yon shall meet upon the coast or seas of America or in any other seas." The commission had been obtained for him by Earl Bellamont, the newly appointed governor of New York, a Colonel Livingston of that cblony, and several English noblemen who had formed a company to finance the en terprise. In addition to capturing pi rates and keeping whatever property could be obtained from these outlaws of the sea, Captain Kldd was also empowered to prtj upon the shipping of France, England's traditional enemy. Such prises, however, must be brought to the nearest British port and there disposed of by the proper authorities. Kldd enlisted 80 seamen in England and 80 more In New York. He had little difficulty In securing just the men for such an expedition. To some of them the lure of rich legalized looting was ample Inducement. Each man was to share equally In the spoils, after 20 per cent of their winnings had been deducted for the company. To others, whose past would not bear close Inspection, a voyage just at this moment was a blessing, and goln? aboard the Adventure was a matter of keeping two jumps ahead of the law, whereas remaining on shore meant the usual one jump ahead. So with his double-barreled commission and his crew of these choice characters, Captain Kldd cast off the lines of the Adventure from a wharf In the Hudson river and headed south. Madagascar on the east coast of Africa was his goal. No plrate-huntlng **npon the seas of America" for him. His commission also said "other seas and ports" and Madagascar, which came within that category, was the haven of the ocean highwaymen who preyed upon the East Indian trade*.. (•l ltM.
