They found on Board the Prize some Bales of _English_ Broad-Cloath, and about 60000 l. in _English_ Crown Pieces, and _Spanish_ Pieces of Eight. The _English_ Captain was killed in the Engagement, and 14 of his Men: The _French_ lost 12, which was no small Mortification, but did not, however provoke them to use their Prisoners harshly. Captain _Misson_ was sorry for the Death of the Commander, whom he buried on the Shoar, and one of his Men being a Stone-Cutter, he raised a Stone over his Grave with these Words, _Icy gist un brave Anglois_, Here lies a gallant _English_ Man; when he was buried he made a tripple Discharge of 50 small Arms, and fired Minute Guns. The _English_, knowing whose Hands they were fallen into, charm'd with _Misson_'s Humanity, 30 of them, in 3 Days Space, desired to take on with him. He accepted 'em, but at the same Time gave 'em to understand, that in taking on with him they were not to expect they should be indulged in a dissolute and immoral Life. He now divided his Company between the two Ships, and made _Caraccioli_ Captain of the Prize, giving him Officers chosen by the publick Suffrage. The 17 Negroes began to understand a little _French_, and to be useful Hands, and in less than a Month all the _English_ Prisoners came over to him, except their Officers. He had two Ships well mann'd with resolute Fellows; they now doubled the Cape, and made the South End of _Madagascar_, and one of the _English_ Men telling Captain _Misson_, that the _European_ Ships bound for _Surat_ commonly touch'd at the Island of _Johanna_, he sent for Captain _Caracciola_ on Board, and it was agreed to cruise off that Island. They accordingly sailed on the West-Side of _Madagascar_ and off the Bay _de Diego_. About half Seas over between that Bay and the Island of _Johanna_, they came up with an _English East-India_ Man, which made Signals of Distress as soon as she spy'd _Misson_ and his Prize; they found her sinking by an unexpected Leak, and took all her Men on Board, though they could get little out of her before she went down. The _English_, who were thus miraculously saved from perishing, desired to be set on Shoar at _Johanna_, where they hop'd to meet with either a _Dutch_ or _English_ Ship in a little Time, and the mean while they were sure of Relief. They arrived at Johanna, and were kindly received by the Queen-Regent and her Brother, on account of the _English_ on the one Hand, and of their Strength on the other, which the Queen's Brother, who had the Administration of Affairs, was not able to make Head against, and hoped they might assist him against the King of _Mohila_, who threaten'd him with a Visit.
