This convinc’d _Shelvocke_ he was not deceiv’d in calling _Hatley_ the best busker, that is, an impudent sharp fellow, (from the _Spanish_ word _buscar_, to look out sharp,) who, perhaps, to reingratiate himself, did the devil’s work; by whose laudable example our boat’s crew robb’d the man of more than I can pretend to say: but I remember the boat was pretty well laden with one trade or other; and none of the officers dared so much as peep into her, till all was out. While these things were handing into the ship, a sham kind of quarel ensues between our chieftains. * * * * * Shel. _Zounds! what do you mean by all this, Sir?_ Hat. _By what, Sir?_ Shel. _Bringing me these baubles?_ Hat. _Sir they are very cheap._ Shel. _But I shall want my money for other uses._ Hat. _They’ll fetch double the cost at our next port._ Shel. _You always act contrary to my orders._ Hat. _Sir, I laid out my own money in the same things as I did yours._ Shel. _It’s a hard case I have no officer worth trusting; I can have nothing well done, except I go out of the ship my self upon every occasion._ Hat. _I thought I had done for the better._-- Shel. _I’ll have you know, Sir, I’ll be obey’d._ Hat. _Your commands shall always be to me as a law._ Shel. _Where’s the account or bill of parcels?_ Hat. _Sir, not easily understanding one another, we lump’d it; but I can draw one out._ Shel. _Pray see you do._ Hat. _Yes Sir._ Shel. _Whither is he bound?_ Hat. _To_ Pernambucco. Shel. _Where belonging to?_ Hat. _To_ Rio Janeiro, _whence he brought these fruits and refreshments, which he presents you with; desiring me to give you his humble service, and that any thing in his ship is at your disposal._ Shel. _Well, I believe he’s a very honest fellow. Take the trumpet; tell him I thank him, and that he may persue his voyage._ Hatley with the speaking trumpet. _O senior capitan, O ho?_ Capt. _Ho la senior._ Hat. _Amigo, Prosiga v, m, su camino con dios_; that is, go on friend, and God bless you. Capt. muttering. _Y, v, m, el voestro con mille demonios, perro ladron_; that is, go you on, you thieving dog, and a thousand devils along with you. The _Portuguese_ captain thus fleeced, hoisted his topsails and away he goes, glad enough ’twas no worse. _Shelvocke_ will have it, p. 16. that there were but four or five pieces of silk, but I have as good a memory as himself: And supposing, tho’ not allowing there was no more, and as the 80 dollars, prize money, was laid out in sugar and some refreshments at St. _Jago_, whence must the cost of those silks, china and cabinet come? since I am positive we could not muster up five pounds amongst us all when we left _Plymouth_; answering in that respect the character of right privatiers men; but in no other instance.
