Mipps then joined Syn in his quest for revenge, pursuing Tappitt and Imogene throughout the thirteen American colonies ( supposedly preaching the gospel to the Indians ) and around the world ( as part of a whaling voyage ) afterwards, and was with him in the Caribbean when Dr. Syn turned again to piracy, assuming the name of Captain Clegg ( taking the name " Clegg " from a certain vicious biting fly he had encountered in America ), hijacking his enemy Tappitt's own ship and crew and sailing off with them ( renaming the ship the Imogene ) to become the most infamous pirate of the day.

Syn evaded capture while at the same time making sure that Imogene and Squire Cobtree's son Dennis ( who had fallen in love with Imogene ) would have a happy life together ( they were eventually married ), but was murdered in revenge by the mulatto, who then mysteriously managed to escape, leaving Syn harpooned through the neck.

In a one-on-one fight, Syn defeated and killed Captain Satan to take command of his ship and crew ; among them was Mr. Mipps, a former Royal Navy carpenter with whom Syn had become friends in England after rescuing him from the Customs men.

Later, when his crew refused to let Syn leave, Syn and Mipps slipped away in one of the ship's boats ; unknown to Syn, Mipps had arranged a convenient " accident " in the ship's powder hold with an exploding barrel of gunpowder, eliminating witnesses of Syn's piratic acts.

Syn made him the village sexton upon condition that Mipps " remember to forget " ( that Syn had been Clegg and that they had known each other before ), and that Mipps never get involved with the local smugglers.

The trap was sprung, but Squire Cobtree's daughter Charlotte, who had fallen in love with Syn and also learned his secret identities as both Clegg and the Scarecrow, was the tragic victim when she dressed in the Scarecrow's disguise and was fatally wounded as a result.

After Imogene's death in Syn's arms ( during which she revealed to him that he had a son by her who was missing somewhere in America ), Syn fought a final duel with Tappitt in his jail cell, defeating him.

Mipps escaped in the confusion of Syn's death and disappeared from England, but it is said that a little man very much like him is living out his days in a Buddhist Monastery somewhere in the Malay Peninsula, delighting the monks with recounting the adventures of Doctor Syn and the eerie stories of the Romney Marsh and the mysterious Scarecrow and his night riders.

A hidden stable watched over by Mother Handaway, the local " witch " ( who believed the Scarecrow to be The Devil in living form ), was the hiding place for the horses of the Scarecrow and his lieutenants, Mipps and the local highwayman Jimmie Bone ( who, being as good a horseman as Syn, was sometimes called upon to impersonate the Scarecrow when Syn either had to be elsewhere or seen in the same place as him ).

Many years later, Captain Collyer, a Royal Navy officer assigned to smash the local smuggling ring, uncovered the deception and Dr. Syn's true identity, thanks in part to the tongueless mulatto ( who had been rescued by Collyer years before and who had been serving Collyer as a " ferret " seeking out hidden contraband ) who recognized Syn as Clegg.
