Honor Among Thieves makes it clear why Captain William Kidd's unlucky Indian Ocean cruise ended in disaster. Before living on St Mary's in 1698, Kidd took rich booty. But he failed as a leader of men, lacking the political skills to function in St Mary's open society. The brigands at Saint Mary's kept on good terms with and bribed British and French officials. Over the years, hundreds retired from piracy and left Saint Mary's for the French colony on nearby Reunion Island. There all settlers answered detailed census forms; sent to France, these forms remain in government archives.
