Afterwards _Lowe_ went to the Coast of _Guinea_, but nothing happened till he came to _Sierra Leon_, in _Africa_, when he met with the _Delight_, which he took, mounting her with 16 Guns, and 60 men, appointing _Spriggs_ Captain, and from whom two days after he separated. In _January_ after, he took a Ship called _Squirrel_, but what came of him afterwards we cannot tell. [Illustration] [Illustration] CAPTAIN GEORGE LOWTHER, AND HIS CREW _George Lowther_ went second Mate on board the _Gambia Castle_, belonging to the _Royal African_ Company, on board which was Captain _Massey_, with soldiers that he was to command under Colonel _Whitney_, whom were landed on _James_ Island; but the Fort and Garrison not agreeing the Company soon after lost a Galley worth 10000_l._ by it. [Illustration] _Massey_ finding he must be over-ruled by the merchants, soon began to complain of their ill-treatment of his men in their allowance, saying he did not come to be a _Guinea_ Slave; and that if they did not use him and his men better, he should take other measures. At the same time, there happened a dispute between the Captain of the ship and _Lowther_, which very much contributing to Lowther's design: For _Lowther_ finding himself neglected by the Captain, found means to ingratiate himself into the favour of the sailors, who, upon the Captain's going to punish him, swore, They would knock down the first man that should offer to lay hands on him; which _Lowther_ improved to a general disaffection of the ship's Crew. _Massey_ in the meantime, having contracted an intimacy with _Lowther_, they agreed to curb their enemies, and provide for themselves some other way; which the Captain perceiving, he goes on shore to the Governor and Factor, to consult what methods to take. But _Lowther_ apprehending it was against him, he sent a letter in the same boat to _Massey_, advising him to repair on board, to put their project in execution.
