Captain Kidd Page #7

Synopsis: In this unhistorical account, Capt. William Kidd is already a clever, ruthless pirate when, in 1699, he tricks the king into commissioning him as escort for a treasure ship from India. He enlists a crew of pardoned cutthroats...and Orange Povey, whom Kidd once abandoned on a reef and hoped never to see again. Of course, Kidd's intentions are treacherous. But there's more to gunner Adam Mercy than meets the eye.

this man of piracy and murder!

Was ever a gentleman so misfortunate?

Lock him up in Newgate!

To be held for the next session of the

court, there to be tried for his life...

Hands off me, you scum!

All I've done was to the credit

and for the honor and glory of England!

So here's me bequest!

To them what hunts what I have hid...

and to their sons' sons...

Down trough the endless

corridors of time...

Greed!

That spawns murder.

Hatred!

That corrodes the soul.

Ambition!

The foulest strumpet of all!

Hey Jack!

Jack, hey! Sell me that hangrope

for sixpence, will you!

Save your money me lad!

You can have it all for nothing...

If you'd only step up here and wear it.

Hurry up, Jack!

Can't wait forever!

Captain Kidd is dead, My Lord Blayne.

The account is closed.

By what manner can I atone for the

injustice I worked upon your father?

What of you First Sea Lord?

What do you suggest?

We have a fine frigate of fifty guns.

Commissioned for American waters, Sire.

That we sought of naming the 'Lady Anne'.

It shall be a wedding gift

to you from the Crown...

For your loyalty and service

to King and Country.
