So now you have the joint efforts of the English East India Company and the Royal Navy.
They're all setting sail around the world.
around the world looking for the fancy in anyone else.
Of course, Henry Every being their main target.
Now, there was an enormous bounty for that time of 1,000 British pounds placed on Every's head, but no one was able to claim it because no one ever had factual knowledge of where he went, what happened to the money, in fact.
But just for the sake of conversation, 1,000 British pounds at that time is worth around 250,000 US dollars to this day.
Yeah, I'm keeping my eyes open.
I'm going to be looking.
I'm sure people were turned in left and right.
Like, yeah, yeah, that guy, my neighbor looks like Henry Every.
Right, right.
So the pirates are made aware, right?
They're in the Caribbean.
They're kicking it, but they very quickly scatter.
And it is worth mentioning that some of them were found.
Some of the crew members were found and subsequently executed immediately.
And it's believed that many escaped to Europe and the American colonies.
So some were found, but no information was coerced out of them about Henry Avery.
Many of them died or were executed and many others escaped.
Again, Henry Every himself, along with his stolen treasure, was never found.
