William Kidd" until, like a modern Don Quixote, he thinks that he, too, should sail the Spanish Main. It is a mild enough monomania until he visits the seashore, then it becomes virulent and he breathes his secret to several of the beach promenaders. Griff, too, has the idea that he is a pirate bold, and he knows that Billie's last name is not Kidd. How can it be? He is Capt. Kidd himself. But Billie's flag is larger than his and Billie's is the dominating personality, so he decided to dissemble until he can get a privateer with Billie's help and then all experienced pirates will have no difficulty in recognizing him as the original inventor of piratical proceedings. They pick out a sight-seeing boat, and once they get well out from shore, they take possession of it. This is a simple matter, since they have guns and the sight-seers have not, and once in possession the two men strip off their conventional attire and show their colors on the fronts of their jerseys. Here again Billie wins, because his shirt is more piratical than the other. But Nemesis is aboard, if not on the passenger list, and the only thing that cheers the would-be pirates is that they will not be sent to jail for life, but hanged for their piratical outing and they go quietly with the officers after inviting everyone to the execution.
