Transcriber's Note:
This is a faithful reproduction of the original work with the exception of
changes listed at the end. Also:
Notation: Words in italics are indicated _like this_. But the publisher
also wanted to emphasize names in sentences already italicized, so he
printed them in the regular font which is indicated here with: _The
pirates then went to =Hispaniola=._ Superscripts are indicated like this:
S^{ta} Maria. Footnotes are located near the end of the work.
