The Buccaneers (1911)

In the early seventies Captain Hains, his wife and a score of trusty tars set sail for the West Indies. The fifth day out finds them encountering a heavy sea and the sighting of a strange vessel that afterward proved to be flying the black flag; at the warning shot, she hove to and Capt. Hains, wife and faithful crew were hauled aboard and made captive. At this moment a seaman rushes into the cabin saying a ship was sighted. One look and the chief's face paled for he foresaw capture of the pirates by the approaching man-of-war, who ere this time had signaled a request of surrender. A few moments later shells were bursting around him; a treacherous shell rends the reeking tub, and from the floating masts Capt. Hains and wife are brought safe aboard the man-of-war.
