第七章 贝勒米(一七一七年三~五月)(第10/11页)
[8] 有些作家质疑这段最后出现在《海盗通史》的对话的真实性,是谁记录这段对话的?答案是毕尔本人。这名船长和贝勒米见面过后,被安置在“玛丽安”号上。他有一段时间无事可做,可以记录这段历史对话。一两个星期后,他被释放到布洛克岛上,日期是四月二十九日。他出现在新港,把自己的这段遭遇告诉《波士顿新闻通讯》的记者。几乎可以确认这段对话的细节是由罗得岛当局记录,并送到伦敦的。《海盗通史》作者便是在伦敦取得这份资料的。

[15] 威廉姆斯其实不用担心。“肖勒姆”号一七一六年五月在卡罗来纳巡逻时,在暗礁上搁浅,龙骨与船身包板严重受损。“肖勒姆”号在五月二十九日摇摇晃晃地进入查尔斯顿,有将近一年的时间无法回到海上。威廉姆斯与贝勒米在弗吉尼亚角出没时,“肖勒姆”号还在查尔斯顿搬运补给,一直要到一七一七年五月一日才抵达京阔坦(Kinquotan)这个弗吉尼亚东南方的汉普顿锚地(Hampton Roads)。
