From Anguilla they came to St. Thomas, where his Brother-in-law Samuel Bradley[16] was put on shore, being sick, and five more went away and deserted him, where he heard the same News, that the Narrator and his Company were proclaimed Pirates, which incensed the People more and more. From St. Thomas set saile for Moona, an Island between Hispaniola and Porto Rico, where they met with a Sloop called the _St. Anthony_, bound for Montego[17] from Curaso, Mr. William Bolton[18] Merchant and Samuel Wood Master. The men on board then swore they would bring the Ship no further. The Narrator then sent the said Sloop _St. Anthony_ for Curaso for Canvas to make Sails for the Prize, she being not able to proceed, and she returned in 10 Dayes, and after the Canvas came he could not persuade the men to carry her for New-England, but Six of them went and carried their Chests and things on board of two Dutch Sloops, bound for Curaso, and would not so much as heele the Vessel or do any-thing; the remainder of the men not being able to bring the _Adventure-Prize_ to Boston, the Narrator secured her in a good safe Harbour in some Part of Hispaniola, and left her in the Possession of Mr. Henry Boulton of Antego, Merchant, the Master, three of the old men, and 15 or 16 of the men that belonged to the said Sloop _St. Anthony_ and a Briganteen belonging to one Burt of Curaso.

General McCrady, _History of South Carolina_, I. 262-263, mentions two affidavits in an old manuscript book in Charleston, by two sailors of the _Adventure's_ company, who declare that Bradley took no part with the piratical crew, but constantly protested against their course, and therefore was put ashore sick on a rock near Antigua.] [Footnote 17: The manuscript (a copy) says Montego, which is in Jamaica, but the name should be Antigua. The _Antonio_ belonged partly to Abraham Redwood of Antigua, afterward of Newport.] [Footnote 18: Henry Bolton; see doc. no. 86. Samuel Wood's examination is in _Commons Journal_, XIII. 26.] That the Narrator bought the said Sloop _St. Anthony_ of Mr. Bolton, for the Owners accompt, and after he had given Directions to the said Bolton to be careful of the Ship and Ladeing and persuaded him to stay three months till he returned, and then made the best of his way to New-York, where he heard the Earl of Bellomont was, who was principally concerned in the _Adventure Gally_, and hearing his Lordship was at Boston, came thither and has now been 45 Dayes from the said Ship.
