I shall now inform the Reader, what became of my kind Schoolfellow _Griffin_, and my generous Friend _Davis_. The first took an opportunity of getting out of the hands of the Pirates, by taking away a Boat from the Stern of the Ship he was in, when off the Road of _Annamaboe_, on the Coast of _Guinea_. He was driven on Shore there, unperceived in the night time; and from thence went to _Cape Coast Castle_, belonging to the Royal _African Company_; from which place he went Passenger to _Barbadoes_, in an _English_ Ship, where he was taken with a violent Fever and died. As to _Davis_, having discovered, a few days after they left the River _Sierraleon_, a Conspiracy, to deprive him of his Command, which was carried on by one _Taylor_, that was Master of the Ship under him, he timely prevented it: But he and some others left their Ship, and went on board the _Windam_ Galley, Captain _Cocklyn_, by whom he found _Taylor_ had been set on to displace him. This causing him to leave their Partnership, he took a few days after one Captain _Plumb_ in the _Princess_ of _London_, whose second Mate _Roberts_, so famous afterwards for his Villanies, entered with him; and _Davis_’s Crew, after plundering the Ship, restored her to Captain _Plumb_ again. After this, Captain _Davis_ went for the Island _Princess_, belonging to the _Portuguese_, which lies in the Bay of _Guinea_. Here the Pirates gave out, “They were a King’s Ship;” but the People soon discovered what they were by their lavishness, in purchasing fresh Provisions with Goods; but the Governour winked at it, on account of the great Gains he, and others of the chief of his People made by them. But at last some putting him in mind, “That if this Affair should come to the King of _Portugal_’s ear, it might prove his ruin;” he plotted how to destroy _Davis_ and his Crew, in order to colour over what he had so basely permitted, in allowing them a free trade, after discovering they were Pirates.
