@johnlavery3433 The version I read, somewhere along the line, did not mention a plague. According to what I read, if the men left the ship, before they were paid, they were not paid. So the men stayed on the ships, waiting for their pay. The crown kept delaying payment, in the hope that many men would give up and walk away, forfeiting their pay. I have no idea if any of this is true.
