I shall only take Notice, that Captain _Miller_ being decoy'd ashore, under Pretence of being shew'd some Trees, fit for Masting, _Halsey_ invited him to a Surloin of Beef, and a Bowl of Arrack Punch; he accepted the Invitation, with about 20 of the Pyrates. One _Emmy_, who had been a Waterman on the _Thames_, did not come to Table, but sat by, muffled up in a great Coat, pretending he was attack'd by the Ague, tho' he had put it on to conceal his Pistols only. After Dinner, when _Halsey_ went out, as for something to entertain his Guests, (_Miller_ and his Supercargo,) _Emmy_ clapp'd a Pistol to the Captain's Breast, and told him, he was his Prisoner; at the same Instant, two other Pyrates enter'd the Room, with each a Blunderbuss in his Hand, and told the Captain and his Supercargoe, that no Harm should come to either, if they did not bring it upon themselves by an useless Resistance. While this past within Doors, the Wood being lined with Pyrates, all _Miller_'s Men, whom he had brought ashore to fell Timber, were secur'd, but none hurt, and all civilly treated. When they had afterwards got Possession of the Ship, in the Manner mention'd before, they set all their Prisoners at Liberty. _Miller_, with eleven of his Men, was sent off, as is said in _Halsey_'s Life: The Company chose _Burgess_ Quarter-Master, and shar'd the Booty they had made out of the _Scotch_ Ship, and the _Greyhound_. Soon after happen'd _Halsey_'s Death, who left _Burgess_ Executor in Trust for his Widow and Children, with a considerable Legacy for himself, and the other Pyrates grumbling at a new Comer's being preferr'd to all of them, took from _Burgess_ 3,000 l. of _Halsey_'s Money, and 1200 l. of his own, which was his Share of the two Prizes. Tho' he had been treated in this Manner, they were idle enough to give him the Command of the _Scots_ Ship, and order'd him to fit her out with all Expedition, and to take on board some Men and Goods left in the Brigantine: He set to work on the Ship, with full Design to run away with her; but some Pyrates, who were in another Part of the Island, being informed of these Proceedings, thought it not prudent to trust him, so he left the Ship, and getting among his old Comrades, by their Interposition, had all his Money return'd. After this he lived five Months on the Island of St. _Mary_'s, where his House was, by Accident, burnt down, out of which he saved nothing but his Money; he then went on board _David Williams_, when he miss'd the Island of _Mascarenas_, and returned to _Methelage_, where he staid with the King, and was one of the Men among whom he divided _William_'s Effects.
