_Johnson_ addressed himself to the King, and told him the Boat and Goods were his Property; upon which he went along Shore with a Number of Men, and found the Boat at an Anchor, and all asleep, except one to look out, at whom the King fired his Blunderbuss, and kill'd him; the Report of the Piece awaken'd the others, who cut and stood off the Coast. The King return'd, gave _Johnson_ an Account of his Expedition, and furnish'd him a Canoe, some Calabashes of fresh Water, Provisions and Launces, that he might pursue after his People. _Johnson_ kept the Shoar on Board till he came to the Island of St. _Mary_'s, where he heard his Comrade Fugitives were gone to, and settled at _Ambonavoula_, in a Village belonging to the Natives on the River of _Manansallang_; leaving his Canoe, he went into one belonging to an Inhabitant, who carried him to his Companions. After he had been here some few Months _Fourgette_, already mention'd in _White_'s Life, came in with his Ship from _Martinico_: With this Vessel they sail'd to the West-Side, and came to an Anchor at an Island called _Anquawla_, 30 Leagues from the Place where they left _Howard_. Some of the Subjects of the King of _Anquawla_ had before met with, and brought hither, Captain _Howard_, who seeing the Ship at an Anchor near Shore, haled her, and desired the Boat might be sent to fetch him off, which was accordingly done, and he joined the rest of the Crew. Here two Boys ran away from them, whom they demanded of the King; but he not delivering them, they went ashore by Day-Break, surpriz'd his Town, and brought off 12 of his Concubines, whom they detain'd on board, till their Boys, who were Blacks, were returned, and then delivered them back. From this Ship he went on board the _Speaker_, where he continued till she was lost on _Mauritius_, when he came back to _Madagascar_, and settled at _Augustine_, here he staid till the _Prosperous_, a Ship of 36 Guns, commanded by Captain _Hilliard_, came in; which _Howard_ and some other Pyrates, (with the Assistance of the Boatswain and some of the Crew belonging to the Ship) seized. In the taking of this Ship, the Captain and his chief Mate were killed, and several others wounded. _Howard_ was by the Company declared Captain. Several of the Ship's Crew took on with them, and they went round the South End to the East Side, till they came the Length of _Maritan_, where they found some of the _Speaker_'s Company, whom they took on board, and made up their Complement about 70 Men.
