Summary
For all its faults, however, what Thomas found most objectionable about the pamphlet was its premise. After all, the difference between a pirate and a merchant sailor—as he had once fruitlessly tried to explain to James, almost exactly ten years earlier in London—was not a difference in kind.
Sometime in the spring of 1715, Thomas gets hold of a pamphlet about a pirate named Captain Flint.

Summary
Abigail, hearing the sack of Charles Town, refuses to travel on to Savannah and turns back in the hopes of saving her father. What she finds instead is proof she needn't have bothered. Thomas, newly liberated after 10 years of incarceration, is no longer the man he used to be and not quite sure who he's become instead. Both of them have begun to develop some new ideas about political philosophy. They decide to try putting them into practice, and help the pirates of Nassau resist English rule for a little while longer. They also get talking to Mr. Scott.
Kind of a slow burn.
