The King ordered him to be with him early next Morning, before the White Men were out of their Beds; he set forward accordingly the next Day betimes, but was seiz'd on the Road by Negroes placed for that Purpose, and brought bound to the King, who, after having reproach'd him with the Barbarity of his Action, sent him to the White Men, bidding them put him to what Death they pleased; but they sent Word back, he might dispose of his Subjects Lives as he thought fit, but for their Part they would never draw a Drop of Blood of any who belonged to him. Upon which Answer the King's Uncle ordered him to be speared, and he was accordingly thrust thro' the Body with Lances. The King, after this Execution, sent to _Boyn_, and had every Thing brought which had belonged to _Williams_ and his Men, and divided it among the Whites, saying, _He was sorry the Villain had but one Life to make Attonement for the Barbarity he had been guilty of_. OF Capt. _Samuel Burgess_, And his CREW. Capt. _Samuel Burgess_ was born in _New-York_, and had a good Education; he was what they call a well-set Man, and bandy legg'd; he sail'd some Time as a Privateer in the _West-Indies_, and very often, the Gang, he was with, when the Time of their cruizing was expir'd, would make no Ceremony of prolonging the Commission by their own Authority. By his Privateering he got together some little Money, and returned home, where the Government having no Notice, or, at least, taking none, of his pyratical Practice, in staying beyond the Date of his Commission: He went out Mate of a Ship, in the Service of _Frederick Phillips_, bound to the Island of _Madagascar_, to trade with the Pyrates, where they had the Misfortune to lose their Ship, and lived eighteen Months at _Augustine_, when an _English_ Pyrate coming in, the King of the Country obliged him to go on board her, tho' much against his Inclination, for he was tired of a roving Life; but their Choice was to go or starve, for the King would keep them no longer. He went with this free Booter to the _East Indies_, where they made several rich Prizes; returned to St. _Mary_'s, where they took in Provisions, Wood, and Water. Several of their Gang knock'd off here; but the Captain, _Burgess_, and the Remainder, went away for the _West Indies_, disposed of their Plunder on the _Spanish_ Coast, and then returning to _New York_, purposely knocked the Ship on the Head at _Sandy Hook_, after they had secur'd their Money ashore.
