_Bonnet_ stood to the northward, in a small vessel; but through stress of weather, and want of necessaries, he was forced to _Swillivant's_ Island. Of which information being given to the Governor, he sent for Colonel _Rhet_, and desired him once more to go in pursuit of him; which the Colonel readily accepted of; and having got all Things ready, went that Night for _Swillivant's_ Island, where, after a long search, he discovered them. After the Colonel's men had fired upon them, and killed _Harriott_, _Bonnet_ immediately surrendered himself, and was, next Morning, brought back to _Charles Town_, and confined under a strong guard till his trial, which was hastened for fear he should give them the slip again.
