And I don't think Bob had that code. No basis for this assumption, other than the nature of life in the ice age likely preventing this code to ever cross his mind.

I would speculate that, if a Cooper were starving, they would find a way to steal from a local criminal. Or why not just buy food with stolen money? Obviously Henriette is a different situation, but when would she get the chance? If she's in a situation where she is too far from land to buy supplies or collect them from, say, mango trees, then what are the odds that she'd run into a merchant vessel?

Desperate times do call for desperate measures, though. For henriette, as long as their ship is over a very busy trade route, and as long as the ship isnt either a naval warship, a heavily defended east indiaman or a slave ship. All they need to do is tail an unarmed merchant ship using a false flag and then when they get close enough raise a black flag to show that they only want the stuff, henriette wuld never raidse a red flag on unarmed merchant vessels as it means no quarter.

For salim, imagine what would happen if he ended up in the rub-al-khali.

Slaigh would have obviously been raiding english strongholds
