The Privateersman
Authorship not stated
Aboard the privateer Revenge off Hispaniola, you watch a French merchantman decide whether to fight or surrender, a family sheltering below her decks. Captain Weatherall presses the attack once the ships close, and the boarding turns bloody enough that you end up holding the pistol that killed a man defending his wife and son. The prize is legally yours by the time the guns fall silent; what to feel about it is not something the law was written to decide.
