HAMAS Off the East coast of Florida, a couple ol air miles out lo sea from Fort Lauderdale, lie the beautiful isles ol enchantment, the Bahamas. I he histon7 of these islands is comparatively short: nevertheless, it is packed with romance and adventure. During the eighteenth and nineteenth century the Bahamas gave refuge to the pirates preying on the ocean trade of the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. When one learns that there are over two thousand islands in this group, it may be seen how easy it was lor the pirates to escape or at least to postpone British justice. It is known that the pirate Blackbeard used these islands as a stronghold for a long time. Still, for many years, the people ol the out islands practiced piracy, on land at least, if not on the high seas. reckers these people were called and they were that —no more, no less. It was their practice to hoist a light high on a reel, luring travel-weary ships to them at night. I he captains, thinking that these lights marked off harbor entrances, sailed their ships to their doom on the reefs. Im- mediately these people would board the foundering ships and methodically murder the crew and passengers. After looting the ships they would sell their prizes on the open market. I o demonstrate the brutal audacity of these people, consider this: When the British government put up per- manent lights to counteract the destruction of the 'wreckers, these people petitioned the government to desist, pleading that it was destroying their Ih clihood. Such practices are now a long time dead. 25
