The next day they weighed anchor, and came to _Calf-Sound_, where the boatswain went ashore again with four armed Men, meeting with no Plunder. From thence they went to the Island of _Eda_, to plunder the house of Mr. _Fea_, whom _Gow_ had formerly been School-fellow with, and knowing him to be a Man of Courage, believed that the Alarm at _Caristoun_ had drawn him thither: But Mr. _Fea's_ wife at that Time being very sick in Bed, kept him at home, and having notice of them he sent a letter to _Gow_ by _James Laing_, to desire him to withdraw, assuring him that most of the inhabitants were fled to the mountains on the report of his being a Pirate, desiring him to send the messenger safe back, at whose return the affrights of the people would be over. _Gow_ sent him word back, that he would write to nobody, but if Mr. _Fea_ would send his men with a Boat, he would reward them handsomely, which Mr. _Fea_ hearing, he ordered his great Boat to be staved, and sunk, and the sails to be carried out of sight. In the mean time, perceiving _Gow's_ boat come on shore, with five men in it, well armed, he met them, and said if they would go to a Publick House in the neighbourhood, and take a cup of ale with him, he would see what he could do to serve them, which they agreed to, seeing Mr. _Fea_ was all alone, not suspecting any danger. Mr. _Fea_ had before given orders for half a dozen men, well armed, to lie in ambush to surprize them, which being done, Mr. _Fea_ sent to Mr. _Gow_ to let him know, that the country was alarmed, and that it would be his best way peaceable to surrender, which _Gow_ did in a day or two, thinking thereby to make himself an evidence; but it would not do, although he complied so far as to delude all his men ashore one after another, who would certainly have cut his throat, had they known of any ways afterwards to have escaped. They were put on board the _Greyhound_, which delivered them into the _Marshalsea_, _March_ 30, 1714, where they continued till _June_ following, when eight of them were hanged at _Execution Dock_, viz. _John Gow_, _James Williams_, _James Belvin_, _John Winter_, _Peter Rawlisson_, _Daniel Mc.Cawley_, _William Ingram_, for another Piracy under _Anstis_, and a month afterwards _Alexander Rob_ was hanged for Piracy under _Gow_.

These inconsistencies, along with archaic spelling, have been retained throughout.
