CAPTAIN BRAND.

CAPTAIN BRAND,
OF THE
“CENTIPEDE.”

A PIRATE OF EMINENCE IN THE WEST INDIES:

His Loves and Exploits,

together with some account of the singular manner
by which he departed this life.


by
HARRY GRINGO,
(H. A. WISE, U.S.N.),

author of “los gringos,” “tales for the marines,” and “scampavias.”


“Our God and sailors we alike adore,
In time of danger––not before;
The danger passed, both are alike requited:
God is forgotten, and the sailor slighted.”
