Years: 1683 - 1683

New England is traditionally friendly towards privateers, but the pirate captains Bréhal and Paine are arrested on the orders of visiting governor Edward Cranfield, who charges Paine with carrying a counterfeit commission.

Paine is eventually cleared and Brehal allowed to leave.

Paine stays in Rhode Island; he will eventually go into semi-retirement, becoming involved in the cargo reselling for local pirates.
