Fearing which the crew refused to share the trip with a woman, Anne dressed as a man and adopted the name of Adam Bonny, becoming a respected member of the crew and fighting next to its masculine companions in many skirmishes.

Next they were captured by a Spanish ship, but they were able to escape sailing around Jamaica, taking the control from several freighters of fishing and a brig. The governor decided to capture Rackham and sent in his search to the hunter of pirates Barnet Captain, who followed to them and he captured to them.
