A Pirate Chief
IN "Hung for a Song,” Major 1 Bohnet is the pirate chief, a foppish gentleman from- the Bahamas, who in the 1700’s sailed-in his own sloop, taking aboard a young poet, his Wifo’.s lover. Bonnet's ignorance of nautical matters amused, nis crew, but lost him his command to a fellow, pirate chief, who made Bonnet join forces with him and sail the sens, with headquarters at Charleston, South Carolina (thanks to the eonvenicittlv blind evp of the Governor). Mr. George D. Parrish unfolds the amazing escapades of those buccaneers in a, most amusing fashion, and his ncvor-l'ailing wit relieves Ihe gruesomoness of some of the scenes. Major Bonnet’s, ultimate downfall thfoiigh grounding on the Charleston .giud, flats is surely the queerest sea battle ever recorded —but it is based on fact.
