Yes, you're right, Ron, but one pirate was stabbed in the hand by the crew and the crew did describe what they did before the captain offered himself in order to let the ship and crew go free.
News breaking now...
the pirate who was stabbed in the initial taking of the ship that was attacked, was about 16 years old. He left the hostage lifeboat and went to the Navy ship to ask for medical help when he got there. He just wanted out of the situation. He was not a 'leader' of the pirates, nor one trying to negotiate for ransom.
