The pirates **collaborate**d to **capture** the American ship. They caused a **collision** by ramming their boat into the USS Punctuation. They **annunciate**d that the American sailors were going to be taken **captive**. The American captain, unable to hear the pirates, asked him to **enunciate** his words. Therefore, the pirates made sure their **pronunciation** was more clear. The American sailors asked the **captor** if he would please let them go. Instead, the pirates held a meeting to decide on where to put the prisoners. They decided to put them in a cabin near the shore but before they could, the cabin **collapsed** due to the strong winds that came that day. They decided to **decapitate** the American sailors because they no where to hold them. They would eventually leave them on shore for others to find. The pirates just wished that they would have **capitulated** because it would have made things easier.
