they thought necessary, and set out, Captain _White_, and those who staid with him, convoy'd 'em a Day's Journey, and then returning, he got into the Boat with his Companions, and went back to _Methelage_, fearing these Men might return, prevail with the rest, and burn the Boat. Here he built a Deck on his Boat, and lay by three Months, in which Time there came in three Pyrates with a Boat, who had formerly been trepann'd on board the _Severn_ and _Scarborough_ Men of War, which had been looking for Pyrates on the East-Side; from which Ships they made their escape at _Mohila_, in a small Canoe to _Johanna_, and from _Johanna_ to _Mayotta_, where the King built 'em the Boat which brought 'em to _Methelage_. The Time of the Current's setting with Violence to the North-West being over, they proceeded together in _White_'s Boat (burning that of _Mayotta_) to the North-End, where the Current running yet too strong to get round, they went into a Harbour and staid there a Month, maintaining themselves with Fish and wild Hog, of which there was great Plenty. At length, having a Slatch of fine Weather, and the Strength of the Current abating, they got round; and after sailing about 40 Mile on the East-Side, they went into a Harbour, where they found a Piece of a Jacket, which they knew belong'd to one of those Men who had left 'em to go over Land; he had been a forced Man, and a Ship Carpenter; this they supposed he had torn to wrap round his Feet, that Part of the Country being barren and rocky. As they sailed along this Coast, they came to an Anchor in convenient Harbours every Night, till they got as far as _Manangaromasigh_ where King _Reberimbo_ resided, where they went in to enquire for their Men, who left 'em at the North-End, and to recruit with Provisions. The latter was given 'em, but they could have no Information of their Companions. From hence they went to the Island of St. _Mary_, where a Canoe came off to 'em with a Letter directed to any white Man. They knew it to be the Hand of one of their former Ship-Mates. The Contents of this Letter was to advise 'em to be on their Guard, and not trust too much to the Blacks of this Place, they having been formerly treacherous. They enquired after their Ship, and was inform'd, that the Company had given her to the _Moors_, who were gone away with her, and that they themselves were settled at _Ambonavoula_, about 20 Leagues to the Southward of St. _Mary_, where they lived among the Negroes as so many sovereign Princes. One of the Blacks, who brought off the Letter, went on board their Boat, carried them to the Place called _Olumbah_, a Point of Land made by a River on one Side, and the Sea on the other, where twelve of 'em lived together in a large House they had built, and fortified with about 20 Pieces of Canon.
