From _Methelage_ he went with a Parcel of Samsams to _Augustine_, with which he bought fifty Slaves, whom he sold to the _Arabians_. In his Return to _Methelage_, he met Captain _North_ in a Sloop, with thirty of _Miller_'s Men on board; these Men propos'd the taking _Burgess_, who had, they said, betrayed, ruined, and banished them their Country, by forcing them to turn Pyrates; but _North_ would not consent: Upon which, they confined him, took _North_ and stripp'd him of all the Money, and then releasing their Captain, gave him 300 l. as his Share, which he returned to _Burgess_ on his Arrival at _Methelage_. _Burgess_ lived here two or three Years, till he was carried off by some _Dutchmen_; they belonged to an _East-India_ Man, and were taken by two _French_ Ships, which being bound for _Mocha_, and scarce of Provisions, came into _Methelage_ to victual, where they set 80 of their Prisoners ashore. When they parted from this Port they sail'd for _Johanna_, where they left the _Dutch_ Officers, who built a Ship, and came back for their Men. _Burgess_ being of great Use to them, they took him on board, and steer'd for a Port, where some _Dutch_, taken in another Ship, were maroon'd; but they were wreck'd at _Youngoul_, where _Burgess_ continued eighteen Months. After this Time was expir'd, he was desirous of leaving the Place, and addressing himself to the King, who was Uncle to the King of _Methelage_, he requested his black Majesty to send him back to that Port, which he readily complied with, where _Burgess_ continued almost five Years, afflicted with Sickness, in which he lost one Eye. While he was here, the _Drake_ Pink, of _London_, came in for Slaves, he took _Burgess_, with Design to carry him home; but Captain _Harvey_ in the _Henry_, which belong'd to the same Owners, arriving, and being a Stranger to the Trade, at the Request of Captain _Maggot_, Commander of the _Drake_, and on Promise of a Ship when in the _West Indies_, he enter'd as third Mate, and continued with him. Captain _Harvey_ carrying it pretty high, and disagreeing with the King, lay here 9 Months before he could slave. _Burgess_ was sent up to tell the King he had not fulfill'd his Agreement with Captain _Harvey_; the King resented the being reproach'd by a Man whom he had entertained so many Years, and reviled him; he was, however, carried to Dinner with some of the principal Blacks, and drank very plentifully with them of Honey Toke, in which it is supposed he was poison'd, for he fell ill and died soon after, leaving what he had to the Care of the chief Mate, for the Use of his Wife and Children.
