Whitty was now faced with a dilemma. While other Jacobites had been pardoned provided they agreed to an oath of loyalty to the new monarchs William and Mary, Whitty had spent the war raiding English shipping - he was a pirate, a crime the English crown would be less likely to forgive. Regardless, the idea of an oath of loyalty to another pair of monarchs who had taken control of Ireland seemed loathsome to him. He resolved that his only remaining option was to continue with his newfound life of piracy. | Whitty was now faced with a dilemma.

Through a stroke of luck, Whitty and his crew captured a much larger and normally faster English merchant vessel off of Southwest England that had been damaged by a storm. They sailed their new ship to Bristol, where they repaired her, restocked their supplies, filled out their crew with some extra hands, and set sail for the high seas. | Through a stroke of luck, Whitty and his crew captured a much larger and normally faster English merchant vessel off of Southwest England that had been damaged by a storm.

After a brief battle with a larger force the pirates, realizing that they were outnumbered, agreed to negotiate, and a deal was struck: in exchange for patrolling the waters around their islands the pirates became official privateers and deputies of the Rumbari Republic and were allowed to bring their families to settle on their island with them. This small band of pirates and their families christened their new home Zain Paldy's Ile, after St. Palladius, a saint popular in southeastern Ireland, and their treaty with Rumbar allowed them to form a small but enduring society. | After a brief battle with a larger force the pirates, realizing that they were outnumbered, agreed to negotiate, and a deal was struck: in exchange for patrolling the waters around their islands the pirates became official privateers and deputies of the Rumbari Republic and were allowed to bring their families to settle on their island with them.

The Duncannon and her crew, escorted by a ship representing the Rumbari Republic, sailed back to Wexford, where Whitty was reunited with his wife Maggie and their son, James. James Whitty had taken up his father's trade as a fisherman to support his mother, but he now used his fishing boat to help transport his family and the families of other crew members back to Zain Paldy's Ile. Upon their return to the island, the population was still just over a hundred people. | The Duncannon and her crew, escorted by a ship representing the Rumbari Republic, sailed back to Wexford, where Whitty was reunited with his wife Maggie and their son, James.
