_Greenway_ swam ashore again to give Notice to his Brothers in Distress, of what had pass'd; the same Afternoon _Bunch_ with several others went on Shore, carrying with them six Bottles of Wine and some Biscuits. Whether this was done to tempt _Greenway_ again, or no, is hard to say; for tho' they talk'd to him a great Deal, they drank all the Wine themselves to the last Bottle, and then they gave each of the poor Creatures a Glass a-piece, with a Bit of Biscuit, and immediately after fell a beating them, and so went on Board. While they were on Shore, there came in a Turtle which belong'd to one _Thomas Bennet_ of _Providence_, whereof one _Benjamin Hutchins_ was Master; they soon laid hold of her, for she went excellently well; _Hutchins_ was reputed an extraordinary good Pilot among those Islands, wherefore they tempted him to engage with them; at first he refused, but rather than be maroon'd, he afterwards consented. It was now the ninth of _October_, and they were just preparing to sail, when they sent on Shore, ordering the _condemn'd Malefactors_ to come on Board of the _Lancaster_, that was _Greenway_'s Sloop; they did so in the little Boat they went on Shore in, by the Help of the same Paddle; they found several of the Pyrates there, who told them that they gave them that Sloop to return to _Providence_, tho' they let them have no more Stores, than what were named before; they bad them take the Fore-Sail, and bend it for a Gib, and furl it close down to the Boltsprit, and to furl the Main-Sail close up upon the Boom: They did as they were order'd, for they knew there was no disputing whether it was right or wrong. Soon after, another Detachment came on Board, among which were _Bunch_ and _Dennis Macarty_, who being either mad or drunk, fell upon them, beating them, and cutting the Rigging and Sails to Pieces with their Cutlashes and commanding them not to sail, till they should hear from them again, cursing and damning, if they did, they would put them all to Death, if ever they met them again; and so they went off, carrying with them the Boat, which they sent them first ashore in, and sail'd away. They left them in this miserable Condition without Tackle to go their Voyage, and without a Boat to get on Shore, and having Nothing in View but to perish for Want; but as Self-Preservation put them upon exerting themselves, in Order to get out of this deplorable State, they began to rummage and search the Vessel thro' every Hole and Corner, to see if nothing was left which might be of use to them; and it happen'd by Chance that they found an old Hatchet, with which they cut some Sticks sharp to serve for Marlenspikes; they also cut out several other Things, to serve instead of such Tools as are absolutely necessary on Board a Ship.
