On the morning of October 21, 1764, you go to a harbor and provide well paying pirates with provisions. As a warehouse merchant, any kind of revenue coming in is taken. Not many, need barrel sizes of sardines or beans.
A small boy witnesses this transaction and runs to alert the police. He finds one close by, and pulls him to the scene, you, upon seeing this officer, from your ladder you attempt to seek refuge in their docked boat. After searching for you for forty-five minutes, the officer catches you all along you knew that something was fishy. You are then arrested and taken to jail.
