  In

  old 
  days 
  Jamaica 
  rum, 
  then 
  the 
  most 
  important 
  product 
  of 
  the 
  island, 
  furnished 
  

   the 
  inspiration 
  for 
  the 
  buccaneers 
  and 
  boosted 
  their 
  courage 
  (see 
  text, 
  page 
  156). 
  Today 
  the 
  

   raising 
  of 
  fruit, 
  sugar, 
  and 
  coffee 
  are 
  the 
  principal 
  industries. 
  Jamaica's 
  Blue 
  Mountain 
  

   coffee 
  brings, 
  perhaps, 
  the 
  highest 
  price 
  of 
  any 
  in 
  the 
  world. 
  

  

  played 
  by 
  the 
  wily 
  Sir 
  Henry 
  Morgan, 
  

   whose 
  cruelties 
  and 
  inhumanities 
  are 
  

   usually 
  whitewashed 
  because 
  of 
  the 
  

   glamor 
  of 
  his 
  achievements.

  YOUTH 
  

  

  This 
  lad 
  of 
  Wales, 
  born 
  of 
  good 
  par- 
  

   entage, 
  was 
  kidnapped 
  in 
  Bristol 
  and 
  

   shipped 
  to 
  Barbados 
  to 
  be 
  sold 
  as 
  a 
  

   bondsman. 
  When 
  he 
  had 
  served 
  his 
  time 
  

   he 
  sailed 
  for 
  Jamaica, 
  where 
  he 
  joined 
  

  

  the 
  buccaneers, 
  and 
  his 
  ability 
  as 
  a 
  leader 
  

   was 
  immediately 
  recognized. 
  

  

  The 
  old 
  and 
  distinguished 
  pirate 
  ad- 
  

   miral, 
  Mansvelt, 
  chose 
  Morgan 
  as 
  his 
  

   vice-admiral, 
  in 
  which 
  capacity 
  he 
  served 
  

   until 
  the 
  former's 
  death, 
  which 
  left 
  him 
  

   at 
  the 
  head 
  of 
  the 
  profession. 
  His 
  popu- 
  

   larity 
  as 
  a 
  leader 
  and 
  his 
  reputation 
  for 
  

   boldness 
  made 
  it 
  easy 
  for 
  him 
  to 
  collect 
  

   about 
  him 
  hundreds 
  of 
  men 
  and 
  a 
  large 
  

   squadron 
  of 
  vessels 
  ; 
  and

  this 
  time
