FATE OF A PIRATE CREW.
Strange Case Of tho Nancy Brig and q
Hungry Shark.

Hungry Shark.
In the museum at Kingston, Jamaica,
there are some tattered ships papers,
brown with age and salt water, and 4
small tin canister. These articles at
test the truth Of the strangeBt pirate
story ever told.
In 1899 the crew Of the Nancy brig
were apparently honest traders, but did
some piracy now and then on the side.
One day they found it necessary to go
into Kingston for supplies. Before do
ing so they naturally removed ali
traces Of their buccaneering trade.
Among other things they threw over
board this tin canister stuffed with pa-
pers taken from ships they had sunk,
with comments written on the margin
by the pirate captain.
Later In the day a British frigate
was becalmed near the spot, and the
sailors spent their leisure catching
sharks. Presently they hauled up 4
big fellow, cut him open and found tho
tin case with the papers inside These
were taken to the captain, who, as soon
as breeze sprang up. sailed into
Kingston harbor, found the Nancy brig
there and had the crew tried, convict
ed and hanged in chains at Port Royal
