The solitary black sheep in the oth'
erwise respectable band Of Robertses
headed by "Bobs'" father in the "Dic-
tionary of National Biography is the
pirate Bartholomew Roberts, who
hourlshed in the early part Of the
eighteenth century. He started as n
respectable sailor, but his ship was
captured by pirates. Roberts joined
the crew, and, serving under the black
flag, was speedily made their captain.
He had a most adventurous career for
three years until he captured n ship
belonging TO the South African Com
pany. This vessel he fitted with guns
and commanded personally. At last,
in February, 1921, he was brought to
book by a ship of the royal navy, and
was killed in the fight that followed.
