From _Carolina_ he cruized on the Coast of _Virginia_, where he took and plunder'd several Merchant Men, and forced several Men, and then return'd to the Coast of _Carolina_, where he did abundance of Mischief. As he had now abundance of _French_ on board who had entered with him, and _Lewis_ hearing the _English_ had a Design to Maroon them, he secured the Men he suspected, and put them in a Boat, with all the other _English_, 10 Leagues from Shoar, with only 10 Pieces of Beef, and sent them away, keeping none but _French_ and Negroes; these Men, it is supposed, all perished in the Sea. From the Coast of _Carolina_ he shaped his Course for the Banks of _Newfoundland_, where he overhawled several Fishing Vessels, and then went into a commodious Harbour, where he cleaned his Sloop, and went into _Trinity Harbour_ in _Conception Bay_, where there lay several Merchants, and siezed a 24 Gun Galley, called the _Herman_: The Commander, Captain _Beal_, told _Lewis_, if he would send his Quarter-Master ashoar he would furnish him with Necessaries. He being sent ashoar, a Council was held among the Masters, the Consequence of which was, the seizing the Quarter-Master, whom they carried to Captain _Woodes Rogers_; he chained him to a Sheet Anchor which was ashoar, and planted Guns at the Point, to prevent the Pyrate getting out, but to little Purpose; for the People from one of these Points firing too soon, _Lewis_ quitted the Ship, and, by the Help of Oars and the Favour of the Night, got out in his Sloop, though she received many Shot in her Hull. The last Shot that was fired at the Pyrate did him considerable Damage. He lay off and on the Harbour, swearing he would have his Quarter-Master, and intercepted two fishing Shallops, on board of one was the Captain of the Galley's Brother; he detained them, and sent Word, if his Quarter-Master did not immediately come off, he would put all his Prisoners to Death; he was sent on board him without Hesitation. _Lewis_ and the Crew enquired, how he had been used? and he answered, very civilly. Its well, said the Pyrate; for had you been ill treated, I would have put all these Rascals to the Sword. They were dismiss'd, and the Captain's Brother going over the Side, the Quarter-Master stopp'd him, saying, he must drink the Gentlemens Health ashoar, in particular Captain _Rogers_', and, whispering him in the Ear, told him, if the Crew had known of his being chain'd all Night, he would have been cut in Pieces, with all his Men. After this poor Man and his Shallop's Company were gone, the Quarter-Master told the Usage he had met with, which enraged _Lewis_, and made him reproach his Quarter-Master, whose Answer was, that he did not think it just the Innocent should suffer for the Guilty. The Masters of the Merchant Men sent to Captain _Tudor Trevor_, who lay at St. _John_'s in the _Sheerness_ Man of War; he immediately got under Sail, and miss'd the Pyrate but four Hours.
