February 14th 1684

"We were choosing valentines and discoursing on the intrigues of women when there arose a prodigious storm so that we concluded the discoursing of women at sea was very unlucky and occasioned the storm"

From the journal of buccaneer Ambrose Cowley. :ph34r:

The more things change the more things stay the same.

I love the smell of gunpowder in the morning. To me it smells like....PIRACY!

Mmm That's a tough one, valentine or death?...valentine or death? I'll have to think about that one. Both have a way of hurting a man's constitution. One can't be to hasty about something like that.

Ah, a timely topic. I found it a bit differently (although essentially the same and even more amusing):

"Then haling away S.W. we came abreast with Cape Horn the 14th Day of February, where we chusing of Valentines, and discoursing of the Intrigues of Women, there arose a prodigious Storm, which did continue till the last day of the Month, driving us into the lat. of 60 deg. and 30 min. South, which is further than ever any Ship hat sailed before South; so that we concluded the discoursing of Women at Sea was very unlucky, and occasioned the Storm." (Crowley, p. 6-7)

Interesting that the holiday was even thought to be observed shipboard.

John: "I don't know."

Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."

It's part of my charm. :rolleyes: (It's called rejuvenating, not necromancing!)

Crowley is up for death.

"...on Feb. 14. in this Year [1686], there came News from Japara to the City of Batavia, that the Javans had fallen upon a Party of the Hollanders, and had killed 80 of their Number, the chief of whom were Francis van Tack and Jerimiah Van Fleet, who (as an Addition it seems to the other Provocations) being sent by the general of Batavia to fetch 500000 Rix Dollars..." (Crowley, p. 27)

"You're supposed to be dead!"

"Am I not?"

Actually there seems to be some confusion regarding the proper day of the aformentioned holiday.

March 14, March 20, and March 29 all seem to have testimony.
