He operated as a spy before he was captured and hanged in 1778. He survived and was recaptured at sea on another espionage mission. Rescued by a British privateer he went to England, joined the British Navy and fought in several naval battles before retiring in 1783. His story as a soldier, a sailor and a spy sounds like fi ction, but it's true.
