You could have a mast and sail, and you could take provisions and things, and cruise from Harlem all the way up into the lakes in the Northern woods. It would be all the same as piracy, except that you would not be committing crimes, and making innocent people wretched.”…”We’d have a gun and a lot of fishing-lines, and we could live on fish and bears. There’s bears in the woods, you know.” [End] ~ Thus four teenage boys set out for adventures being a different sort of pirate - Moral Pirates. - Summary by Laurie Banza
