Here they designed to heave down and clean, and they had got a good Part of their Goods and Water Casks ashore, when the Look-out discovered two tall Ships, one of them wearing a Flag at the Foretop-Mast Head; this put them into a great Confusion, they got what Casks and Necessaries they could on board, and lay till the Ships came a-breast of them; then they got under Sail at once, their Sails being furl'd with Rope Yarns, and came close along-side the larger Ship, which was a _Portuguese_ of 70 Guns, as the other was of 26; they exchanged a Broadside with her, and the smaller Ship engaged her so close, that they threw Hand Grenades into each other; but _Cornelius_'s Business was to run, and the great Ship put a Stays twice to follow him, but missing, was obliged to Ware, which gave the Pyrate a great Advantage; the small Ship in staying, tail'd aground, she, however, gave Chase till she had run a good Way a-head of her Consort, which the Pyrate seeing, brought to, and stay'd for her, as did the _Portuguese_ for her Consort, not caring to engage him singly. When it was quite dark _Cornelius_ ran up the other Shore, pass'd the _Portuguese_ Ships (which kept down the Gulf) and came again to Anchor at his old Station, where he found his Enemies had been ashore in their Boats and staved his Casks; he here cleaned, and finding no Money to be got out of any Prizes made, and Bale Goods being of little Value to them, they from hence went away to the Island of _Johanna_, where it was designed to moroon the Blacks, who were the greater Number, and all bred among the _English_; _Joseph Williams_, fearing they would next moroon the _English_, who were not above a third of the whites, gave the Negroes Notice of the Design, who secured all the Arms of the Ship, and gave _Williams_ the Command till they should get to _Madagascar_, keeping a good Guard on the _French_ and _Dutch_. When they came to _Methelage_ they gave the Ship to the King, her Bottom being eaten so much with the Worms, that she was no longer fit for Service; and they all went and lived with the new King _Chimave_, Son to _Andian Chimenatto_, who died before their Return: About five Months after they broke up, _Cornelius_ died, and was buried with the usual Ceremony.
