They called the ship the _Revenge_, and mounted six more of her guns, she being able to carry four and twenty in all. But instead of going to _Genoa_ as intended, they sailed for the coasts of _Spain_ and _Portugal_, in hopes of getting a ship laden with wine, to keep up their spirits; but all was alike they met with; and instead of wine, they contented themselves with fish, which they took out of a ship called the _Delight_ of _Poole_, _Thomas Wise_, Master, bound from _New-England_ to _Cadiz_, out of which they took the men, and what they wanted, and then sunk the Ship, to prevent their being discovered to the _English_ Men-of-War who lay in the _Straights_. On the 18th of _December_, they took the _Snow-Galley_, out of which Crew they kept _Rob_, and discharged the Captain and the rest of the men, after having plundered the Ship of the arms, ammunition, cloth, provisions, sails, anchors, cables, and then let her go. By this time, they were got a great way to the southward; and being in want of water as well as wind, they agreed to go to _Maderas_, which Island they made in two days, cruising about it near a week, expecting some vessel to come in or come out; but the Country discovering what they were, they were disappointed in their attempts. Then they stood away for _Porto Santa_, where they put up _British_ Colours, and sent their Boat ashore with a compliment to the Governor, desiring leave to Water, and buy some refreshments; which he readily agreed to, and went with them to pay the _English_ Captain a Visit, who received him in a very grand Manner. But the refreshments not coming as expected, he at length told him he was his Prisoner, and must remain so till the provisions were come on board, which was not till next day, when _Gow_ discharged him, giving him three Cerons of Bees-wax, and three Guns at his going away. Having now got provisions, they agreed to return to the Coasts of _Spain_ and _Portugal_; where they had not been above two days, before they met with the _Batchelor_, _Benjamin Cross_ Master, from _New-England_ bound to _Cadiz_; out of which they took _Cross_ and his Men, and gave the Ship to Captain _Wise_, as also 24 Cerons of Bees-wax to him and his mate, and to his four men 8 Cerons. After this they took a _French_ Ship from _Cadiz_, loaded with wine, oil, and fruit, which was what they wanted, and manned her with their own men, taking on board the _Revenge_ the _French_ Master, and his 12 Men, and most Part of the cargoe, with five guns and their carriages, ammunition, small arms, and sails, and gave the ship to _Somerville_, Captain of the _Snow Galley_; and to Captain _Cross_ the _New-English_ Man, to who they gave half the ship and cargoe and _Somerville_ had all his Men, but _Alexander Rob_, whom they detained, and who was executed in 1725, for engaging along with them.
