While they past their Time in all manner of Diversions the Place would afford them, as hunting, feasting, and visiting the Island, the King of _Mohila_ made a Descent, and alarm'd the whole Country. _Misson_ advised the Queen's Brother not to give him any Impediment, but let him get into the Heart of the Island, and he would take Care to intercept their Return; but the Prince answered, should he follow his Advice the Enemy would do him and the Subjects an irreparable Damage, in destroying the Cocoa Walks, and for that Reason he must endeavour to stop his Progress. Upon this Answer he asked the _English_ who were not under his Command, if they were willing to join him in repelling the Enemies of their common Host, and one and all consenting, he gave them Arms, and mixed them with his own Men, and about the same Number of _Johannians_, under the Command of _Caraccioli_ and the Queen's Brother, and arming out all his Boats, he went himself to the Westward of the Island, where they made their Descent. The Party which went by Land, fell in with, and beat the _Mohilians_ with great Ease, who were in the greatest Consternation, to find their Retreat cut off by _Misson_'s Boats. The _Johannians_, whom they had often molested, were so enraged, that they gave Quarter to none, and out of 300 who made the Descent, if _Misson_ and _Caraccioli_ had not interposed, not a Soul had escaped; 113 were taken Prisoners by his Men, and carried on Board his Ships. These he sent fate to _Mohila_, with a Message to the King, to desire he would make Peace with his Friend and Ally the King of _Johanna_; but that Prince, little affected with the Service done him in the Preservation of his Subjects, sent him Word he took Laws from none, and knew when to make War and Peace without his Advice, which he neither asked nor wanted. _Misson_, irritated by this rude Answer, resolved to transfer the War into his own Country, and accordingly set sail for _Mohila_, with about 100 _Johanna_ Men. The Shoar, on Sight of the Ships, was filled with Men to hinder a Descent if intended, but the great Guns soon dispersed this Rabble, and under their Cover he landed the _Johannians_, and an equal Number of _French_ and _English_. They were met by about 700 _Mohilians_, who pretended to stop their Passage, but their Darts and Arrows were of little avail against _Misson_'s Fuzils; the first Discharge made a great Slaughter, and about 20 Shells which were thrown among them, put them to a confus'd Flight. The Party of _Europeans_ and _Johannians_ then marched to their Metropolis, without Resistance, which they reduced to Ashes, and the _Johannians_ cut down all the Cocoa Walks that they could for the Time, for towards Evening they returned to their Ships, and stood off to Sea.
