'Cursing and swearing much...disguised in men’s clothing, each armed with a machete and pistol'. #OTD 1720 Anne Bonney (Bonny) & Mary Reade were tried for piracy. Both were found guilty but pleas of pregnancy saved them from the death penalty.

Have decided to give Twitter another chance , this is a RIC whistle which I picked up during the week. The RIC had access to arms but often patrolled without them, carrying a whistle to summon help and a wooden truncheon.

James "Sligo"Jameson and a fascination with Cannabilism. 1888 the heir to the distillery was travelling in the Congo & paid 5 handkerchiefs to a local tribe to witness Cannabilism. This act caused a international scandal with the heir later claiming he made the offer in jest.
