Tile drainage of marshy land expands cropland, while farm hands remain scarce. Some plan to import Pennsylvania Dutchmen, offering higher wages to recruit labor.

Pirate Ship Sea Horse and the Jack Causland Betrayal
During Elizabethan England privateers preyed on Spanish treasure ships. Captain Edward Gregory commanded the Sea Horse, a vessel that could appear peaceful but carried guns for piracy. His second officer Jack Causland betrayed him to British authorities, aiding the capture of the Sea Horse after a long voyage from Newfoundland. The captain faced execution, while Causland claimed innocence and later married a Wharton heir in Maryland.
