Olive, Charles, surnamed L' (o-leeve) French buccaneer, born in Dieppe and died in Santo Domingo. He came in his youth to Tortuga as an "engage" and after serving three years in that capacity was received among the buccaneers. He took part in the expedition against Panama under Henry Morgan in 1671, and commanded serveral others in association with various chiefs, but was captured by Spanish soldiers in the interior of Santo Domingo, carried to the capital. During their confinement in the dungeon he and his companions contracted yellow fever. The day set for their execution having arrived, they they were carried to a place outside the city to be beheaded, and released at the last moment by the sudden attack of some fellow-buccaneers; but the latter, on being told by them of their frightful disease, fled in terror. The captives soon died in the chains on the place of execution, as nobody dared to touch them, and the epidemic, spreading, devasted the city. The memory of this event lived long in the colonies, and the painters have reproduced it on canvas. Novelists also have taken it as a theme, among them Emmanuel Gonzales in his "Brethren of the Coast." L'Olive was said by some to be the son of a nobleman, either the Count de Casse-Brissac or the Marquis de Rochefort, who are believed to have joined the buccaneers -- one through disappointment in love and the other to esacpe capital punishment for a crime.
