[2] 部分历史学家提出,赦免消息的抵达时间早于贝勒米帮海盗被处决的十一月十五日,但这个说法缺乏证据。以下文件显示,消息在十二月一日到九日间抵达波士顿,十二月十九日当天或之前抵达百慕大,十二月二十五日抵达纽约的“凤凰”号,以及次年一月三日抵达弗吉尼亚的“珍珠”号。消息很慢才传遍大西洋,部分原因是国王发布命令之后、罗杰斯一七一八年七月抵达巴哈马之前,没有皇家海军军舰出航。来源:ADM 1/1472 f11:Ellis Brand to the Admiralty,<i>Pearl</i> at Vir- ginia:10 March 1718;ADM 1/2282 f13:Vincent Pearse to the Admiralty,<i>Phoenix</i> at New York:4 February 1718;“A Proclamation for Supressing of Pirates,” <i>Boston News-Letter</i>,9 De- cember 1717,p. 1;Benjamin Bennett to the Council of Trade and Plantations,Bermuda:3 February 1718 in <i>CSPCS 1717-1718</i>,No. 345,p. 170。

[4] 波士顿监狱在一六九九年也关过基德船长,现址是法庭街二十六号(26 Court Street),从市镇屋(一七一三年),也就是现今的老州议会大厦往上坡走,只有一小段路。纳撒尼尔·霍桑(Nathaniel Hawthorne)的小说《红字》(<i>The Scarlet Letter</i>),对这栋监狱有一些幻想式的描述。

[5] 法庭占据新砖造的市镇屋的西侧或上坡端,窗子开向监狱。见Sinclair and Catherine F. Hitchings,<i>Theatre of Liberty:Boston’s Old State House</i>,Boston:Boston Safe Deposit &amp; Trust Company,1975,pp. 1-6;“Old Boston Prison,” Commemorative Plaque,26 Court Street,Boston,MA。

[7] 处决过后一个星期,马瑟在日记里写道:“针对最近被处决的海盗,如果我能提供给书商一些对他们处境的描写,不知是否有益?”后来,他的《死者境遇,生者之诫》(

<i>Instructions to the Living,from the Condition of the Dead</i>)在波士顿出版。
