Discharged, английский
When applied to a ship, signifies when she is unladen. when expressed of the officers or crew, it implies that they are disbanded from immediate service; and in individual cases, that the person is dismissed in consequence of long service, disability, or at his own request. when spoken of cannon, it means that it is fired off.
Privateers, английский
Or men-of-war equipped by individuals for cruising against the enemy; their commission (see letters of marque) is given by the admiralty, and revocable by the same authority. they have no property in any prize until it is legally condemned by a competent court. the admiral on the station is entitled to a tenth of their booty. this infamous species of warfare is unhappily not yet abolished among civilized nations.
