An E1-CIerk who Joined the Fierce Sea
Rovers of the Spanish Main.
"The Buccaneers of Our Coast" is the
title of a series of narrative sketches
that Frank K. Stockton is writing for
st. Nicholas. In speaking of John Els
quemeling, who joined the buccaneers
and became their historian, Mr.. Stock
ton says:
1t must have been strange thing for
yardsticks and scales, to offer to enroll
himself in company of bloody, big
bearded pirates, but man must eat,
and buccaneering was the only profes-
sion open to our exclerk. For some rea-
son or other, certainly not on account OF
his bravery and daring, Esquemeling
was very we'll received by the pirates OF
Tortuga. Perhaps they liked him be-
cause be was mild hammered man and
so different from themselves.
As for Esquemeling himself, he soon
came to entertain the highest opinions
of his pirate companions. He looked
upon the buccaneers who had distin.
guished themselves as great heroes, and
it must have been extremely gratifying
to those savage fellows to tell Esque-
melting all the wonderful things they
had done. Esquemeling might have
earned salary as IA listener
1t was not long before his intense ad
miration Of the buccaneers and their per
formances began to produce IN him the
feeling that these great exploits should
not be lost to the world and SO be set
about writing their lives and adventures,
He remained with the pirates for sew
eral years and during that time worked
very industriOusly getting together ma
teria for bis history. When he returned
to his own country in 1912, he there
completed "a book which he called 1.-THE
Buccaneers of America; or, The True
Account of the Most Remarkable As
saults Committed of Late Years Upon
the Coasts of the West Indies by the
Buccaneers, etc. By John Esquemeling,
one Of the Buccaneers, Who Was Pros
eut at Those Tragedies "
From this title it is probable that in
the capacity OF reporter our literary pl-
rate accompanied his comrades on their
various voyages and assaults, and al
though he states he was present at many
of 'those tragedies" he makes no refer
ence to any deeds of valor or cruelty
performed by himself, which shows him
to have been wonderfully conscien
tious historian. There are persons, how
ever, who doubt his impartiality, be
cause, as he liked the French, he al
ways gave the pirates OF that nationality
the credit for most of the bravery dis
played on their expeditions, and all of
tho magnanimity and courtesy, if there
happened to be any, while the surliness,
brutality and extraordinary wickedness
were all ascribed to the English.
