The _Dutchmen_ were willing to receive them, knowing they would be worth Money to be sold for Slaves. When they got into the Boat, they gave an Account of losing one of their Company in swimming over the River, where they first had Sight of the Molotto, who was devoured by an Alligator, in all Probability the same the Molotto had seen, and that the other three would travel as far as they could from their own Country, in order to save their Lives; but for their Parts, they chose rather to put themselves on the Mercy of the white Men, than run the Hazard of being taken, or starved in passing thro' Countries they did not know. When he came on Board the Ship, he related to the Captain the whole Story of his Adventures, who finding he had been a Sea-faring Man, and that he understood Navigation pretty well, put him upon the Foot of an able Seaman. They remain'd here about three Weeks, the Winds continuing contrary till then, in which Time they laid in Water and Wood, and diverted themselves with Fishing; after this they sail'd for _Batavia_ in the _East-Indies_, where having unladed and taken in a Cargoe of _India_ Goods, they sail'd home for _Holland_; the Molotto made two or three Voyages with them, but in the Year 1724, he being in _Holland_, and having a great Desire to see his old Captain, he embark'd on the 28th of _March_ in _Holland_, and pass'd into _England_, he found out his Captain who was alive, and who being overjoy'd to see him, prov'd very generous to him, and prevail'd with him to give in Writing the Particulars of all his Adventures, from whose Copy the foregoing Narrative is faithfully taken. As to the Molotto he return'd back to _Holland_, and sails still in the Service of the _Dutch East-India_ Company, unless he is lately dead. OF Capt. _BELLAMY_.
