4 Bold Buocaneer.
From the san Francisco Post November 10Th,
"A pirate in the year OF grace 1s1G. Where
arc the police, and for what do we pay taxes"
YET it is true that hardly more than three weeks
since the schooner Lotus left this port I0r Apa,
as 1t is supposed, i'll command of Il gentleman
whose description we have already given, and
whose piraticai exploits would ill youmnS-
who has even given employment to the men-of-
war oi three nations. HE gentleman iii qlea-
ton is Captain John Hayes, alias "Bully Hayes,
the pirate of tie South Seas
AT what time in the past John Hayes first inn
bibed his taste for pirates life is unknown :;
but the old buccaneer spirit, wherever imbibed,
obtained its full sway over him about 1S6S,
when he was engaged to command a lumber
bark The bark was lying off Stewart street
wharf, ready TO discharge, when one night.
without troubling the Custom house for his
clearance papers, he Gated and fished his an
chor and silently stole away in the night with
the cargo of lumber to parts unknown. lie is
supposed to have sold the lumber in some Mex
lean port The next thing heard Of him was
from Macao, where his bark WAS chartered to
bring coolies 70 Sidney. AT that time the Aus
traIian Government, i'll order to restrict Chinese
immigration, had imposed capitation tax Of
so on each coOllc landed, and the money 10
pay this had been advanced to Captain Hayes
by the chartererS before the vessel left Macao.
He had 230 coolies Oh board. which, at S25 a
head amounted TO S6 80 which he determined
TO pocket, and seek fresh fields and pastures
new" with his gallant bark. Captain Hayes is
endowed with mind fertile in resources, and
the end being determined on the means were
