One of Major Stede Bonnet's crew of the _Royal James_. Was hanged at Charleston, South Carolina, on November 8th, 1718, and buried in the marsh below low-water mark. ROSSOE, FRANCIS. In June, 1717, in company with four other Carolina pirates, was placed on trial for his life. Convicted with De Cossey, De Mont, and Ernandos, of piratically taking the vessels the _Turtle Dove_, the _Penelope_, and the _Virgin Queen_ in July of the previous year, and, after being sentenced to death by Judge Trott, Rossoe and his fellow-pirates were promptly executed. ROUNDSIVEL, CAPTAIN GEORGE. Of the Bahama Islands. He refused to avail himself of King George's pardon to all pirates in 1717, and went off again on the "main chance" till captured. ROW, CAPTAIN. Buccaneer. In 1679, at the Boca del Toro, was with the buccaneer fleet that attacked and sacked Santa Maria. Row commanded a small vessel of twenty tons, a crew of twenty-five men, and no guns. RUIZ. One of Captain Gilbert's crew in the pirate schooner _Panda_, which plundered the Salem brig _Mexican_ in 1834. Tried in Boston and condemned to be hanged. Pleading insanity, he was respited for sixty days and then hanged on September 12th, 1835. RUPERT. Prince of the Rhine. After an adventurous life as a soldier on the Continent, he sailed from Ireland in 1648 with seven ships. His own ship was the _Swallow_. He was a man of boundless energy, who was never happy if not engaged in some enterprise, and as legitimate warfare gave him few opportunities he turned pirate. He spent five years at sea, largely in the West Indies, meeting with every kind of adventure. In 1653 he was caught in a storm in the Virgin Islands, and his fleet was wrecked. His brother, Prince Maurice, was lost with his ship, the _Defiance_, the only ship saved being the _Swallow_. Prince Rupert returned in the _Swallow_ to France in the same year. Hitherto the prince had been a restless, clever man, "very sparkish in his dress," but this catastrophe to his fleet and the loss of his brother broke his spirit, and he retired to England, where he died in his bed in 1682 at Spring Gardens. LE SAGE, CAPTAIN. French filibuster. In 1684 was at San Domingo, in command of the _Tigre_, carrying thirty guns and a crew of 130 men. SALTER, EDWARD.

Was at New Providence Island in 1718, and received the royal pardon from King George, offered to those pirates who surrendered themselves to Governor Woodes Rogers. Like many another, he fell again into his former wicked ways, and ended his life by being hanged. SAMPLE, CAPTAIN ROBERT.
