"But hold," saith _Avery_; "it is necessary that we make some order among us, for the better governing of the ship's crew." Which were in a few days drawn up by the clerk of the ship. And _Avery_ promising them vast things, they all came into them at last, although some things went very much against the grain of many of them. It took up all their spare time till they arrived at _Madagascar_, where they saw a Ship lying at the N.E. part of the Island, with which the men had run away from _New England_; and seeing _Avery_, they supposed that he had been sent after them to take them, but _Avery_ soon undeceived them, and promised them protection; therefore they resolved to sail together. In the whole company, there was not above ten that pretended to any skill in navigation; for _Avery_ himself could neither write nor read very well, he being chosen Captain of the _Duke_ purely for his courage and contrivance. In the latitude of _Descada_, one of the Islands, they took two other sloops, which supplied them with provisions, and then they agreed to proceed to the _West Indies_; and coming to _Barbadoes_, they fell in with a ship for _London_ with twelve guns, from which they took some clothes and money, ten barrels of powder, ten casks of beef, and several other goods, and five of her men, and then let her go. From thence he went to the Island of _Dominico_, and watered; there he met with six _Englishmen_, who willingly entered with _Avery_. They stayed not long before they sailed for the _Granada_ Island to clean their ships; which being known to the _French_ Colony, the Governor of _Martenico_ sent four sloops well manned after them. But they stayed there not long, but made the best of their way for _Newfoundland_, entering the harbour of _Trepasse_ with black colours, drums beating, and trumpets sounding. It is impossible to relate the havoc they made there, burning all before them. When they left _Newfoundland_ they sailed for the _West Indies_, and from thence to the Island _Descada_, it being judged the most convenient place, at that time of the year, to meet with a rich booty. From hence they steered towards the _Arabian_ Coast, near the River _Indus_, where, spying a sail, they gave chase. At their near approach she hoisted _Mogul_ colours and seemed as if she would stand upon her defence, whilst _Avery_ contented himself by cannonading her at a distance, which made many of his men begin to mutiny, thinking him a coward.
