From hence they proceeded to the Back of _Cuba_, where _Rackham_ staid a long Time with his Delilahs, till their Provision was consumed, when he concluded it Time to look out for more. As he was putting to Sea, a _Garda del Costa_ came in with a small _English_ Sloop, which he had taken as an interloper on that coast. The _Spaniards_ seeing the Pirate, attacked her; but finding he could not come to her that night, because she lay close behind a little island, he warps into the channel, to make sure of her in the morning. Upon this _Rackham_ took his Crew into the Boat, with their pistols and cutlasses, and falls aboard the _Spaniards_ in the night, without being discovered, telling them, if they spoke a word they were dead men: And so shipping their cables, drove out to sea, commanding them to take the Boat, and go aboard their Sloop immediately, or else they were all dead men. Afterwards they waking the Captain and his men in the Hammocks, who rose full of their expectation of the Prizes, they sent them aboard their empty Sloop. In the Beginning of _September_, they went off of the French part of _Hispaniola_, where they took two or three _Frenchmen_ on board, that were looking after some cattle grazing near the waterside. Then plundered two Sloops, they returned to _Jamaica_, where they took a Schooner. _Rackham_ continuing about this Island longer than a Man of his business ought to have done, gave time to a Canoe, which he had surprised in _Ocho_ Bay, to inform the Governor of _Jamaica_ of his civilities to all he met with going or coming from the Island. Thereupon a Sloop was sent out in quest of him, well mann'd and arm'd, under Captain _Barnet_, to repay him for all his good-natured Actions, and, if possible, to bring him into the Island. In the mean Time _Rackham_ met, near the _Negril_ Point, a small Pettiauger, which, upon sight of him, ran ashore, and landed her Men; but _Rackham_ hailing them, desired the Pettiauger's men to come aboard him, and drink a bowel of punch; swearing, _They were all Friends and would do no Harm_. Hereupon they agreed to his Request, and went aboard him, though it proved fatal to every one of them, they being nine in all. For, they were no sooner got aboard, and had laid down their muskets and cutlasses, in order to take up their pipes, and make themselves merry with their new acquaintance over a can of Flip, but Captain _Barnet's_ Sloop was in sight, which soon put a damp to all their merriment: Finding she stood directly towards them, they immediately weighed their anchor and stood off. _Barnet_ gave them chase, and having the advantage of the wind, soon came up with her, gave her a broadside or two, and, after a very small dispute, took her and his nine new guests, and brought them all together into _Port-Royal_ in _Jamaica_, in about a fortnight's time.
