It was translated into Spanish, French and English, the earliest English edition appearing in 1684. Esquemeling was probably a Dutchman or at least born in Flanders, but he sailed from France in 1066 on a ship bound lor Tortnga. When the West India Company determined to abandon Tortnga Esqueineliiig, who was in its service, was sold as part of its prop erty. He 'Consequently fell into the hands of "the m ist cruel ami perfidious man that ever was born, who was then Governor or rather Lieutenant-Governor of that island." in consequence of the hard usage to which lie was subjected, including starvation, Esque meling fell ill and was then s Id a second nit*. His second master proved more humane than the first, and at the end of a year give him liberty.

After Ins return to his own country he wrote this narrative, which Howard Pyle now edits for the Adventure Series. To tins narrative Mr. Pyle adds accounts of four other notable pirates— Teach. Kid. Roberts and Avery. Although EsQiiemeling shared in the ex ploits of the order of pirates to which lie be longed, lie writes as a historian, not as an autobiographer.

This te'5§. fe.;rv^j.vi^j\ t Lonlola. worthy seems to have been set up in busi ness by the French Governor of that island, M. de la Place. Lolonois was at first only a common mariner, but because of lite cour age the Governor gave him a ship, "in which In- might seek bis fortune." This lie pro ceeded to do. and "in a short time he got great riches," but fortune "being seldom constant, alter si me time turned her back," and his vessel was lost in a storm on the coast of Campechy. In the mean time, however, his cruellies against the Spaniards had been such and were so well-known hat although all on hoard were saved from the wreck they were pursued on shore and killed without mercy. Lolonois was badly wounded, but, smearing himself with blood mixed with sand, ho was passed us one of the dead. When his wounds were pretty well healed he made his way boldly into Campccby, where he saw the bonfires lighted in commemoration of his own death. Enticing some slaves to go with him he stole a canoe and made his way back to Tortnga, "the common refuge of all sorts of wicked ness and the seminary, as it were, of pirates and thieves," where, "with craft and subtlety," ho soon succeeded in getting an other ship. Although Lolonois had a good ship once •ji ore, lie old considerable cruising and en gaged in a number of desperate conflicts vithout much success. Finally lie deter iiined to go to the port of Maracaibo. There h' surprised a ship laden with plate and ...oaiii.ts. "With this prize," "says Esque ruling, "be returned to Tortnga, where he wis received with joy by the inhabitants, tiny congratulating his happy success and their own private interests. He stayed not lone there, but designed to equip a fleetsuf ticfe-it to transport 500 men aud necessaries. Thus provided he resolved to pillage both cities, towns and villages and twu by to take Maracaibo itself. For this put pose he knew the Island of Tortnga would afford him many resolute and courageous men lit fur such enterprises; besides, he had in his service several prisoners well ac quainted with the ways and places designed upon." In this hold and comprehensive scheme Lolonois was completely successful. Many rich prizes were seized and the town captured, sacked and ransacked. The plun der amounted in ready tnorey to 200,000 pieces of eight. Tins being divided, every man iv the fleet received as his share, either in money or its value, above 100 pieces of eight. "The whole dividend being finished," says the historian, "they set sail for Tortuga; here they arrived a month after, to the great joy of most of the inland; for as to the com mon pirates, in three weeks they had scarce any money left, having spent, it all in things of little value or lost it at play. Here had arrived not long before them two French ships with wine and brandy and such like commodities, whereby these liquors at the arrival of the pirates were indifferent cheap. But this lasted not long, for soon after they were enhanced extremely, a gallon of brandy being sold lor four pieces of eight. The Governor of the island bought of the pirates the whole cargo of the ship laden with cocoa, giving for that rich commodity scarce the j;tackbranl, the I'irate. twentieth part of its worth. Thus they made shift to lose and spend the riches they had got in much le s time that they were purchased. The taverns and sbws, accord ing to the custom nf pirates, got the greatest part, «o that soon after they were forced to seek more by the same unlaw f.il means they hail got the former." Lolonois' second expedition comprised six ships and about seven bonded men This expedition was intended for Nicaragua, there to plunder as many t.vns and villages asp ssible. Owing to cnitrnry winds the Beet was becalmed IntheSulfof Honduras. The adjacent aces, consequently, were the first to suffer the fury of the pirates. Puerto Cavallo with the Spani h storehouses there was easily captured am burned. Then the town of San Pedro, tei or twelve leagues distant, was taken of era gallant defense by the Spaniards, treat cruelties were practiced upon bis prisoners by Lolonois at this time. In his .ttack upon San Pedro the pirate was contented by three ambus cades in succession. After the first of these lie endeavored to extort from his prisoners the locality of the libera. They either knew of no way to avoirtheni or would tell him of none. "Having Pked them all and finding they could show 'im no other way," Esque meling wrote, '".olonols grew outrageously passionate; so tat be drew his cutlass and with it cut i pel the breast of one of those poor Spaniard! and pulling out bis heart be gan to gnaw itwith his teeth like a raven ous wolf, siving to the re.-t: T will serve you all alike if you show me not another way.' Bu in spite of bis cruelties and his successes th re was little to be got along the coast of Hoiduras or Yucatan, whereupon I. ilonois amounced that he intended to sail from Guatemala. Finding the voyage little to their purpose, many of his followers deserted him and returned to Tornga. Thus deserted Lolonois still peulsted in bis purpose, and in a few dys reached -Nicaragua, having left a part of the force that remained faithful to him I'hind him. at the Isle of Sertas. "Her." says the historian, "that ill-fortune assaild what of long time had been re serve! for him as a punishment due to the multtude of horrible crimes committed in his licentious and wicked life." His com panions were nearly all killed, and he was ta'en prisoner by the Indians if Darien wile trying to make his way to Cartlia gria, who "tore him in pieces alive, throw irg his body, limb by limb, in) the fire and lis ashes into the air, so that no trace or jemory might remain of such an infamous, inhuman creature." w^lrwas upon the lines marked out by Lolonois," says Mr. Pyle in his introduc tion, "that the greatest of all the buccaneers roaped lamb and wealth— Sir Henry Mor gan, the hero of ti e author's book, the Alexander of his history." Morgan was the son of it Welsh farmer who ran away to sea and was sold by the master of the vessel on which lie took service at adoes for bis passage. After serving his lime he made his way to Jamaica, where, after some ex perience as a pirate on Lis own accouut, he Vs. eWA^r- n/ Ifff Bartholomew Porluget. served with a note.l buccaneer of the period named Mansvelt in an expedi tion against Panama. The enterprise failed for the time being, but Mor- IS continued to practice the tio*le art of piracy, gaining experience by inroads upon the towns of Puerto del Principe and Puerto Hello, iii Cuba, and the capture of Maracaibo, which had partly recovered from the devastations of Lolonois. Mans velt had captured the island of St. Catharine's as the nest of the English pirates operating against the Spanish Main, but the Spaniards retook it. Early in 1(171 Morgan again cap tured it, making it the base of his attack upon the castle of Chagres and bis subse quent march upon and capture of Panama. The capture of nam i was the culminating exploit of Captain Morgan's career. Foi this exploit Captain Morgan was 'created Sir Henry Morgan by his Majesty King Charles 11 and for this exploit also Sir Henry was immured in the Tower and, per haps, only escaped the hangman by dying in his dungeon. Mr. Pyle adds to Esqoemeling's .history of the buccaneers of the West Indies and the Spanish Main, "A Genuine Account of Four Notorious Pirates"— Edward Teach, Will iam Kid, Bartholomew Roberts and Captain Avery. Captain Teach, known all over America in tbe beginning of the eighteenth century as "Blackbeaid," was a Bristol man who learned the art of piracy on the privateers so called sailing out of Jamaica. 'Peach's exploits were mostly along the South Atlantic coast of North America. One of the earliest of these was to bold the city of Charleston, its ingoing and ontcomiiig commerce, at his mercy for several days. Finally exacting a ransom ot a medicine chest from the city he sailed away, going to Noith Caiolina, where he surrender.d to the King's proclamation. Afterward Teach and Governor Eden of North Carolina were in partnership In "Blackboard's" piracies, the Governor affording the pirate protection for a share in the plunder. Teach obtained his nickname from his beard, which was very long and black. He was killed in a desperate encounter with a small party under Lieutenant Maynard. Teach was as cruel as Loli mils and even' morn wantonly wicked. lie was known to shoot at his own men fur the mere pleasure of shooting at somebody. He was drunk all night the night before his death and when asked if his wife knew where bis treasure was con cealed—he had fourteen wives in all, twelve of them living— he answered: "Nobody knows but the devil and me; the longest liver may take it all." It was Tench's buried treasure that gave rise to the many Kid legends. As early as 1700 a Philadel pbian wrote an opera in which Tench's treasure, supposed to be buried at Coopers Point on the Delaware, was introduced. William Kid was not much of a pirate, his fame being entirely beyond his merits. This was due no doubt to the fact that -no was hanged. Captain Roberts, 011 the other hand, was an ideal pirate. According to his biographer he s tiled out of London in an honest employ— he was mate of a slave ship but being captured by a pirate while in his honest employment of taking slaves on the const of Africa, he afterward changed bis piinciples for the sake of preferment. He devoted himself to piracy, pure and simple and was killed in action with the Swallow, an English man-of-war, which cap tured the crew and carried them to England to be hanged. Captain Avery was a roman tic pirate.— Philadelphia Times. THE MORNING CALL. SAN FRANCISCO. SUNDAY. JANUARY 25. 1891-SIXTEEN PAGES. KING MA RIE OF THE SEDANGS. Ad Extraordinary Sovereign Wno fas in SBarch of a Kiito. He Distributes Honors, Crosses and Commis sions, and at the Same Time Borrows Money From Credulous People. Special to The Sunday Call. Paths, Jan. 4, 1801.— News reaches us to day that Marie 1, King of the Sedangs, alias M. Mayrena, Parisian by birth and exotic monarch by profession, is dead. For the benefit of the financial group that furnished the civil list of this extraordinary sovereign, I hone the report will be contradicted. Two years ago 1 met Marie I in Paris and Heard him relate his explorations ami dis coveries. Said he: "The territory of the Sedangs is situated between Siam, Cam bodge, Cochin -China and Aniiam. The country bad already been explored by H. Navelle and Mete, intrepid Frenchmen, but I thought myself very courageous, and pushed into the interior of the country until I found an Independent savage people, the Seilangs. To them I introduced myself as a great French chieftain, showed to the best advantage my intelligence and military skill and organized the Sedang warriors into regi ments. In May. 1888, because of the alli ances with neighboring peoples I was en abled to lorm the Confederation of Moi, and I, myself, was elected King of the Mi. is with the name oi Marie I.

Now I want the protection of I- ranee, and to have this protection France must recognize the independence of the Se dangs vis-a-vis Annum and also vis-a-vis France. "J he French say that Sedanglsatthe can ter of the political zone of French influence but it would be unjust for the French to think of occupying this zone, when a Frenchman, single handed, lias there ac complished a wonderful work. I ask for a consul and a treaty of commerce, and I can place 20,000 men at the disposal of the consul. I am accused of being romantic In my foundation of a kingdom -of seeing gold in every bro-k, but I have made no mistake. If France refuse my request I shall place myself under the protection of England. Io be misunderstood and disdained in one's own country after baying founded an Orien tal kingdom is unjust ami ungrateful." All this is true, and it is also true that a THE PETIT TRIANON.

Louis XV built it to FUNDS OVERDRAWN. Politicians Steal the City Poor anil Teach ers Must Pay for It. The financial condition of th" schools was the question seriously discussed by the Fi nance Committee of the Board of Education at its last meeting and it proved a very knotty problem. The former board left a nice little deficit of (16,584 for Its successors to cope with and in addition it had been necessary to overdraw several other funds. On January Ist last the Salaries and Rents Fund was overdrawn $6515 17, tho Fur niture and Supplies Fund $10,686 21, the School Painting Fund $623 ami the School- Houses and Sites Fund $284 86. Between January Ist and sth, the date when the pres ent board went into office, the retired board hair expended $1502 52, making the total deficit stated. Chairman Harney suggested as a means of curtailing expenses that some of the lower classes be consolidated or else the cutting down of teachers' salaries. Director Hyde showed that nt the present rate of running the department there would be a shortage of $50,000 at the end of the fiscal year and he proposed that the teach ers donate 10 per cent of their salaries for a month, which would give $72,000 more to act upon. Director Sabin opposed such a measure, thinking it would be undignified. Tho fol lowing report was finally agreed upon and ill be submitted to the board at tho next meeting: '1 he Finance Committee, after consulting with the Classllh'.itlou Column Ire, found the following facts: Un January 5, lH'.il. when Ibis board went Into oflice. the fund ol the Furniture and Supplies Committee was overdrawn $10,623 21, the Salary Fund was overdrawn f SMS 17, and over $1300 was spent by our predecessors be tween January Ist and Cm.

Marie I .came to Paris to astonish his compatriots, and his visit was marked by a series of fantastic actions, not at all in ac cord with his early education. Surrounded by credulous and intriguing people, he promised to all great riches, and in the meantime gave, right and left, decorations and Government positions. 1 have seen one of the brevets by which Marie L "by the grace of Cod and the na tional will. Kins of the Sedangs," named Mr. X., officer of the Royal Older of Sedang. Nothing is lacking— there is the royal seal and the signature of the keeper of the seals, Muk Deli ek Sedang. All the friends of Marie I considered dec orations and kingdom a joke, but he wee very serious. He insisted upon decorating all his friends and acquaintances, and they in turn were to call him "Majesty." i Although handsome in his youth. Marie I had begun to show signs of age. He thought his royal prestige allowed him all liberties, and lie often finished dinner with his f eft on the table. This, he said, was a royal custom in the extreme Orient, and at the house of one friend, at table, he was seated in an, elevated chair that bore the royal crown. He announced that as he already had a royal bouseh Id, a Prime Minister and a court, France must acknowledge him as King of the Sedangs, and to every one ho showed the royal crown embroidered uu his handkerchiefs, etc. Marie I borrowed money, bought, credit nnd disposed of the savings confided to him by his wife. For, not content with a wife in France and another iv Sedang, he signed his own divorce. Of what use to he King if one cannot arrange one's own domestic happi ness? Then he married Mile. Amelia La lour, either in Belgium or England, and returned to Paris with his new bride. Sev eral times he changed his residence in order to be rid ol annoying creditors, but at last Marie 1, King of the Sedangs was forced to 'Ivhe^e's'riouidhego? Where should he go? He thought of General Boulanper, but the brave General had not a thought for the Sedangs. The Belgians were excited at that time by the conquest of Congo, and here, thought the King, was an easy prey. In fact. Mane 1 succeeded In gaining the confi dence of a number of credulous Belgians. With the ricn merchants he exchanged hon ors for small sums of money, and to the young men he gave grades in the Sedang army. M. Somze, a member of the Belgian Cham ber, had faith in Marie 1 and lib kingdom, lent him £8010, furnished him with guns, music-boxes, aud placed at his disposal a number of Belgian officers. When Marie I left Ostend ho was obliged to pay In- hotel bill with hi, royal crown, but he was care ful to conceal it securely in a box. When the box was opened it was discovered that the crown was made of .stone. Marie I embarked on the Saclisen for Singapore, and be was proud to affirm that he was charged with a Belgian mission lor the study of bis vast territory. However, the captain of the Sachsen disapproved of Marie I's abuse of regal privileges lo such an extent that be threatened to throw him overboard, and the Belgian officers Mere more than tired of their sovereign. At Singapore Mario I gave much of his money and many of the music-boxes con fided to his care to a beautiful Japanese, but as be thought himself too closely watched by the English authorities lie went to an island belonging to the Sultan ol ii. ir. Alter having enticed his companions from country to country in the search lor his kingdom, that seemed like a mirage in the desert, Marie 1 quarreled with two co explorers, or rather with one -M Vtllioy. The next day M. Villrov was dead, and there was a rumor that lie had been pois oned by Marie I, who always carried with him a deadly poison. In any case, the sud den death of Marie I is announced, and it is supposed that M. Scott has avenged hi* friend and in his turn poisoned the warlike king of the Sedangs. it is a lit ending for an enterprise so badly conducted. Marie 1 dreamed of a royal crown and his dream produced insanity, but unfortunate are those who bad too great faith in his work. In reality, Marie I had for name, Augusta Jean Bapttete Marie Charles David. He was born at Toulon, January 31,1842, and Ins lather was a naval captain. in 18U9 he married at Toulon Maria Francises Avron, daughter of a Colonel.
