The Pirates were all young men, most of them were natives of
England, Wm. Blades was from Rhode Island and Thomas Powell from
Wethersfield, (Conn.); after the execution, their bodies were
taken to the north end of Goat Island, and buried on the shore,
between high and low water mark.

multitude from every part of New England.
