George CASE had a son named Elisha CASE whom he dispatched to the West Indies on one of his own vessels with a cargo of fish. Neither the vessel or crew ever returned and for many years their fate was a complete mystery. Some years after, CHAFFEY of Indian Island (Charlotte Co.) sent one of his vessels to the West Indies under command of Capt. Samuel LEEMAN with Ward PENDLETON as mate. Returning without cargo but with some two thousand in specie, they were attacked by pirates, robbed of the money and all of their effects, being only too happy to escape with their lives. While the pirates were searching the trunks, one of them opened Ward Pendelton's and on examining the till found a letter addressed to him from his sweetheart. The pirate captain, as he appeared to be, looked fixedly at Pendleton, at the same time pronouncing his name in a tone of astonishment. He then returned the letter to the till, threw back the clothing he had seized into the trunk and deserted from further plunder. Years afterward when this Ward Pendleton was on his death bed, he told his friends that in the pirate chief he had recognized Elisha Case son of Geo. Case, an old school fellow. Capt. Leeman had in his earlier years been seized by a press gang in England and compelled to serve in the Royal Navy for gour years where he learned much of what was of advantage to him in his profession.
