“Y’are in range of our guns!” Rackham shouted to the French trading ship. He waved a sword above his head. Pistols and daggers stuck out of his belt and hung from the sash around his chest. “Give up now, and ye’ll not be harmed! But choose to fight, and every one of ye must expect immediate death!”

Standing beside him were Anne Bonny and Mary Read, loaded with weapons. Four pirates hung in the rigging, aiming muskets. The rest lined the side of the ship, shouting rude insults—stuff we can’t really print here.

“Hold your fire!” the merchant captain called. “We surrender!”

This is how most pirate attacks went. Merchant captains weren’t paid enough to risk their lives battling pirates. They usually let the pirates take what they wanted and went on their way.

Bonny and Read threw grappling hooks over to the other ship. They tugged on the ropes, lashing the two ships together. Then Bonny and Read leaped over six feet of open water, landing on the deck of the captured ship.
