[Footnote 37: Of 78-1/4 shares, the nine officers were entitled to the
shares ("draws") indicated against their names above; fourteen sailors
who had "found" themselves are listed, as entitled to one share each;
thirty-seven others, outfitted by the owners, are assigned
three-fourths of a share each, the other fourths going to the
outfitters; fourteen shares were to go to the same, as owners of the
sloop. The prize act of 13 Geo. II. ch. 4 (1739), passed at the
beginning of this war, had provided that prizes captured by privateers
should after condemnation go entirely to the owners and officers and
crew of the privateer, in such proportions as should be specified in
their articles of agreement (see, _e.g._, doc. no. 202).]
