PYRATES CREED of ETHICS.
#11
If there is any doubt in a dispute between ye Brothers , a Court of Honour is to decide the verdict. If a Brother is proved in the wrong , the first time he shall be pardoned , but should he offend again , he shall be tied to a gun , and there shall receive , from each of the ship's company one strike of the lash . The same punishment shall be given to ye among us , including officers , who shall get drunk , while on the ship , to the point of losing ye senses.
