LOOT/ ^ELMO SCOTT WATSON Buried With Honors of War 'pHB career of Oapt John Halsey Is x unique in that he not only died In bed--not "with his boots ©m" as so many pirates did, but that he was given honors of war when burled. Halsey began as a privateer off the Newfoundland banks under a commission from the governor of Massachusetts, but no sooner was he out of sight of land than he turned pirate. After capturing a few Sshln| vKseft 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 a»d prey upon Moorish shipping only. His crew became angry at his announcement to this effect, mutinied, and threw him into Irons. Then they attacked the Hollander, but were being roundly thrashed when they released Halsey, who got the ship sway safely. For several weeks thereafter Halsey scoured the seas in search of Moslem vessels, but luck was against him. So he gave up his resolve and attacked the British ships, the Essex and the Rlstng Eagle. From the Essex the pirates took more than 50.000 pounds In English gold, and from the other, more than 10,000. Upon discovering that the captain of the Essex was an old friend of his quartermaster, Halsey returned all of the captain's personal belonsrlnjrs, but kept the 50,000 pounds! Halsey was something of a business man as n-ell as a pirate. After the capture of these two vessels he made out Invoices and sold the two ships back to their owners for cash I Then he returned to Madagascar where he was visited by the captain of the Scotch ship, Neptune, which had come to trade In rum with the pirates. This visit was providential for the pirate leader. 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 ship's Jack. As many minute guns were fired as he was old, vis: 46, and three English volleys snd one French volley ef small* arms. His grave was made la a garden of watermelons and fenced In to prevent his being rooted up by wild pigs." Great honor, Indeed, for a ruthless sea rover! And what a touching thought that last sentence! <®. ltl(. Western Newspaper Cnloo.)
