GR translation: but later, as it developed

[David Morris]

1.  They may not’ve been that *sure* of ***Pirate’s usefulness***

“BUT LATER, as it developed”

2.  They were to grow very *sure*, indeed, [of of ***Pirate’s usefulness**]*

The *GROWTH* of their *SURETY* of *PIRATE’S USEFULNESS* came into being

*AS IT DEVELOPED.*
