It brouoht them intelligence of the world that had be- come too crowded for them and furnished them with the greater part of their living. It was a friendly and familiar presence compared with the dark, unknown forests that, on the other hand, hemmed in the narrow territory they occupied on the margin of a continent.
To men so bred the transition from the peaceful 138 Narragansett Bay occupations of fishing and trading to the hfe of roving commerce-destroyers was not a difficult one. Their ener...gy found scope in enterprises that satisfied equally their patriotism and their desire for gain. Their deeds sometimes rose to heights of disinterested heroism, or descended to the level of legalised piracy.
When a Rhode Island privateer returned to New- port or Providence from a successful cruise, he was honoured by his fellow colonists as a hero, but when a Frenchman of the same trade fell into their hands he was apt to suffer the penalty for piracy. Thus it hap- pened that Peter Legrand, Peter Jesseau, and Francis Bondeau were hanged at Newport, in 1738, and various other " corsairs " suffered the same fate at different times.
