Instead of complying with Lord Bellomont's desires, Kidd immediately commenced a series of piratical attacks at first on French and Spanish vessels and later on ships of all nationalities indiscriminately. Coming to America in the "Quedah Merchant" to dispose of his enormous treasure, Kidd goes ashore at Corlear's Hook accompanied by a young pirate named Clarke. Clarke is deeply in love with Hannah, a young girl of the village. Kidd, secretly captivated by Hannah's beauty, consents to her accompanying the "Quedah Merchant" when it sails. Once away from land, Kidd attempts to force his attentions on Hannah. She repulses him scornfully, and in a rage he vows to revenge himself. The ship is anchored off a deserted beach and the treasure loaded in boats and taken ashore. Kidd selects the hiding place by a series of careful measurements and the gold is burled in the sand. When the last shovelful is turned, Kidd draws his cutlass and steps toward Hannah. He announces his intention of slaying her immediately that the treasure may have a ghost to guard it. From this terrible position Hannah is saved by the bravery of her lover who successfully defies the great pirate, and the two lovers stand watching as the man of many crimes goes on his way.
