If the designation "brethren of the coast" be interpreted to mean those who wrote their uames In history in red with looting and with murdering, then Sir Henry Morgan, buccaneer, may well claim pre-eminence. But If the term be limited strictly to pirates, Morgan must give place to others. For Morgan, a Welshman born In the year 1085, can be regarded as a pirate only by one people--the Spaniard'. to5 whom he was for so long a terrible scourge. It Is doubtful If the English care to class him with that other terror of the dons. Sir Robert Drake, or even to admit that he com- j mltted some of the blackest crime* iu { history under the English banner. Bnt! the fact remains that Henry Morgan became 8lr Henry Morgan by word and act of His Gracious Majesty, I Oharles II, and it was au cou.i t which decided a libel suit In Morgan's favor against the publishers of Esquemellng's famous book, "History of the Bucanlers," In which Morgan was painted as an inhuman monster. Ilis son of a Welsh farmer, Morgan took to the sea early, eventually going to the West ladles where his uncle was for a time deputy governor of Jamaica. He soon made a name for himself as a commander of privateers and in 1008 scored his first success by looting the town of Puerto Belto. "Puerto Bello gold I"--what romantic •talons of untold wealth that term eonjuree up, but 1b the case at Morgan and his buccaneers it should be ae> eompanied by words only which mean Wtotd agony and fiendish cruelty. This was followed by other enccean* ee--the raid on Maracalbo, the stormlag of Fort 8t. Lawrence, the famous march up the Chagres river and finally jHm peak of Morgan's Infamous carear, the capture and sack of the city of Panama. The full tale of this would fill a volume. • quotation from on* historian will give an inkling of the career of Sir Henry Morgan: "The bright moon from the dear heaven looked down in all Its tender tropic splendor upon such a carnival of crime and debauchery as possibly the world never saw . . they had a vast amount of precious merchandise, one hundred and twenty-five beaeta of harden laden with gold, silver and Jewels, aa4 six hundred prisoners for sansom."
