George. His six years of office were distinguished by his efforts to put
an end to many abuses that had grown up in the Company's affairs. He left
India with a fortune of £100,000, made by private trade, and settled down
near his birthplace, which he had not revisited since he left it as a boy.
He died in 1746.

NOTE.--The account of England's cruise in the _Cassandra_, given in
Johnson's "History of the Pirates," is evidently taken from Lazenby's
narrative to the E.I.C. Directors. Macrae's account of the capture of
the _Cassandra_, given by Johnson, appears also to have been part of a
similar report to the Directors, but the report itself has disappeared.
Additional information is to be found in the logs of the _Greenwich_
and _London_.


[1] Proclamation issued at Goa, 19th July, 1720 (Danvers).

[2] This was Oliver Levasseur, otherwise La Buze of Calais, a noted French
pirate. By the English he was called La Bouche, and, in one ship's log,
Lepouse. On Woodes Rogers assuming the governorship of the Bahamas, La
Bouche and England sailed for Madagascar.

[3] Stevenson, in "Treasure Island," evidently took his idea of John
Silver, the one-legged pirate, from this incident. "Now what a ship
was christened" (he makes him say) "so let her stay, I says. So it was
with the _Cassandra_ as brought us all home from Malabar, after
England took the Viceroy of the Indies.... First with England, then
with Flint; that's my story."
