Twelve Months after, the _Charles_ Brigantine, Captain _Halsey_, came in, as is mentioned in his Life. _Williams_ went on board him and made a Voyage; at their Return they came to _Maratan_, lived ashore, and assisted the King in his War against his Brother, which being ended in the Destruction of the latter, and a Pyrate lying at _Ambonavoula_, sending his Long-Boat to _Manangcaro_, within ten Leagues of _Maratan_, _Williams_ and the rest went on board, and in three Months after he had been at _Ambonavoula_ he was chosen Captain of the _Scotch_ Ship, mentioned in _Halsey_'s Life. This Ship he work'd upon with great Earnestness, and made the _Scots_ Prisoners labour hard at the fitting her up for a Voyage; and she was near ready for the Seas when a Hurricane forced her ashore, and she was wreck'd. Some Time after this he set up and finished a Sloop, in which he and ten of his Men, design'd for _Mascarenas_, but missing the Island they went round _Madagascar_, to a Place called _Methelage_, where he laid his Vessel ashore and staid a Year; but the King being tired with his morose Temper, and he disagreeing with every Body, he was order'd to be gone, and accordingly fitting up his Vessel he put to Sea, intending to go round the North End of the Island; but the Wind being at E. S. E. and the Current setting to N. W. he put back to a Port, called the _Boyne_, within 10 Leagues of _Methelage_, in the same King's Dominions whom he had left. The Governor of this Place was descended from the _Arabs_, and it was here that the _Arabians_ traded. When he came to an Anchor, he and three of his Men (he had but 5 with him) went on Shore, paddled by two Negroes. _David Eaton_ and _William Dawson_, two of the Men, required a Guide, to shew them the Way to the King's Town; the Governor order'd them one, and, at the same time, laid an Ambush for them in the Road, and caused them to be murdered. When they had left the _Boyn_, _Williams_ and _Meyeurs_, a _Frenchman_, who also came ashore in the Canoe, went to buy some _Samsams_, which are agate Beads; as they were looking over these Goods, a Number of the Governor's Men came about them, seiz'd them both, and immediately dispatch'd _Meyeurs_, _Williams_ they bound, and tortur'd almost a whole Day, by throwing hot Ashes on his Head and in his Face, and putting little Boys to beat him with Sticks; he offer'd the Governor 2000 Dollars for his Life, but he answer'd, he'd have both that and the Money too; and accordingly when he was near expiring, they made an End of him with their Lances.
