The Plot.
A
The plot is interesting.. Frederick, apprenticed to pirate, by Ruth the pirate maid of all work, is just twenty-one and proposes to leave the band and devote himself to their extermina- tion. He wishes to leave Ruth be- hind, but the pirate king insists that he take her with him. However on seeing the "bevy of beauteous maidens he finds that Ruth has deceived him, and that Mabel is his true love.
The pirate band enters, and cap tures the ladies, who are all daugh ters of Major General Stanley, but on finding that the latter is an orphan, release them, at the sumé time electing them "members of
our band."
The curtain rises on the second act with the Major General in the throes of remorse, for having "told a regular terrible story" in that he is not an orphan boy, but Mabel consoles him by reminding him that Frederick's devoted fol- lowers are at hand. Thereupon the"! famous "Policemen's Chorus" enters.
Frederick, however, is stopped by Ruth and the King, who inform him, he is still a member of the band, and he being a slave to duty admits this, and betrays the 'General.
The pirates enter and in their encounter with the Pollee, defeat the latter, only when commanded in Queen Victoria's dame" to sub- mit in their turn. The General then orders them to be taken away, but on being informed by Ruth that "they are all noblemen gone. wrong orders them to resüme. their legislative duties," at the same time. handing them his daugh- ters.
