Night of peril at sea with pirate force and escape
A narrative of a naval encounter where a ship fights off pirates near Greenwich, many wounded and dead, boats used to flee under smoke, and a final escape to the King's Town after the ship is disabled. The speaker recalls promises of safety by pirates, but violence persists, and a captain named Edmerd England aids the escape. Pirates had offered $20000 for the narrator's capture, while townsfolk and leaders in the region were allied with the speaker's cause.
