Day 5 … venue change
Lady Moore's ship was waylaid on her trip to her new plantation in the Caribbean … she and her entourage of servants captured.
But moments after boarding the pirate vessel, in her typical feisty fashion, she insulted the captain and crew, threatening to be sure that they would be hung if they didn't place her safely ashore.
Unfortunately for her, this pirate was a deserter from the Royal Navy, one who was quite familiar with maritime traditions of corporal punishment for insubordination. He decided to spare her the cat o nine tails....showing his brand of "mercy" by sentencing her to a mere twenty lashes with the single tail.
Of course, her lacerated back would be doused with a bucket of sea water afterwards and she'd remain in place until sunset. He was quite sure this would cure Milady's haughty attitude and help her realize her new reality.
If not, there was always the cat 'o nine tails..... *
