Every man shall obey my Command; the Captain shall have one full share and an extra half of all Prizes; 2. If any man shall offer to run away, or keep any Secret from the Company, he shall be marroon'd with one Bottle of Powder, one Bottle of Water, one small Arm and shot. 3. If anyone shall steel any Thing in the Company, or game, to the Value of a Piece of Eight, he shall be marroon'd or shot. 4.

23. Blunderbuss: A gun that fired a scatter shot, (bullets spread all over in one go. ) much like a sawed-off shotgun. The heavy wooden butt could also be used as a weapon. Pistol: When the trigger is pulled, it starts off sparks that ignite priming powder in the pan. Flame from the powder flashes inside the barrel. When the main charge explodes, it forces the ball, held into place by wadding until this point, out of the barrel. Cutlass: A short broad sword usually with a curved blade and one cutting edge. It was suited for close, cramped conditions aboard ships where longer stabbing swords would be difficult to use. Knife: Usually short and sharp, they were used for fighting and cutting rope. Grappling hook: Tied to one end of a rope and used to pull another ship closer to be boarded
