Men that are virtuous serve the Lord; And the Devil's by his friends ador'd; And as they merit get a place Amidst the bless'd or hellish race; Pray then, ye learned clergy show Where can this brute, Tom Goldsmith, go? Whose life was one continual evil, Striving to cheat God, Man, and Devil. GOMEZ, JOHN, _alias_ PANTHER KEY JOHN. Brother-in-law of the famous pirate Gasparilla. Died, credited with the great age of 120 years, at Panther Key in Florida in 1900. GOODALE, JOHN. A Devonshire man. Goodale, who was a renegade and had turned Mohammedan, held a position of importance and wealth amongst the Moors of Algiers. In the year 1621 he bought from the Moors a British prize called the _Exchange_, and also, for the sum of L7 10s., an English slave, lately captain of an English merchant ship, whom he got cheap owing to his having a deformed hand. GOODLY, CAPTAIN. An English buccaneer of Jamaica, who in the year 1663 was in command of a "junk" armed with six guns and carrying a crew of sixty men. GORDON, CAPTAIN NATHANIEL. Of Portland, Maine. Commanded and owned the _Evie_, a small, full-rigged ship, which was fitted up as a "slaver." Made four voyages to West Africa for slaves. On his last voyage he was captured by the United States sloop _Mohican_, with 967 negroes on board. Tried in New York for piracy and found guilty and condemned to death. Great pressure was brought on President Lincoln to reprieve him, but without success, and Gordon was hanged at New York on February 22nd, 1862. GOSS, CUTHBERT. Born at Topsham in Devon. The compiler of these biographies regrets to have to record that this pirate was hanged, at the comparatively tender age of 21, outside the gates of Cape Coast Castle, within the flood-marks, in 1722. He was one of Captain Roberts's crew, having been taken prisoner by Roberts at Calabar in a prize called the _Mercy_ galley, of Bristol, in 1721. GOW, CAPTAIN JOHN, _alias_ SMITH, _alias_ GOFFE. A Scotch pirate, born at Thurso. Although the short career of this pirate made a great noise at the time, he did little to merit the fame which he achieved. He had the honour of having an account of his piratical activities written by Defoe, and ninety years later was made the hero in a novel by Walter Scott, as Captain Cleveland.
