Thus they lived, as they thought, very happy, in respect to their former Condition; but after four Days, the Pyrates made them another Visit, for they wanted to fill some Casks with Water: It happen'd when they came in, that _Turnley_ was gone a Hunting, and the rest all busy at some Work, so that they did not see them, till they just came into the Wood upon them; seeing the Hut, one of them in Wantonness set it on Fire, and it was burnt to the Ground; and they appear'd inclined to do Mischief, when _Richard Turnley_ knowing nothing of the Matter, happened to return from Hunting, with a fine Hog upon his Back, as much as he could carry; he was immediately surrounded by the Pyrates, who seized upon the fresh Meat, and which seemed to put them into better Humour, they made _Richard Cox_ carry it down to their Boat, and when he had done, they gave him a Bottle of Rum to carry back to his Companions to drink their Healths, telling him, that they might get home if they could, or if they staid there, they never would trouble them any more. They were, indeed, as good as their Words, for sailing away immediately, they made for _Long Island_, and coming up toward the Salt Ponds there, they saw at a Distance in the Harbour, three Vessels at an Anchor, and supposing them to be either _Bermudas_ or _New-York_ Sloops lying there to take in Salt, they bore down upon them with all the Sail they could make, expecting a good Booty. The _Turtle Sloop_ taken from _Benjamin Hutchins_, was by much the best Sailor; however, it was almost dark before she came up with them, and then coming close alongside of one of them, she gave a Broadside, with a Design to board the next Minute, but received such a Volley of small Shot in return, as killed and wounded a great many of the Pyrates, and the rest, in great Surprize and Fright, jumped overboard, to save themselves by swimming ashore. The Truth on't is, these Sloops proved to be _Spanish_ Privateers, who observing the Pyrates to bear down upon them, prepared themselves for Action: The Commander in Chief of these three Privateers was one who was called by the Name of _Turn Joe_, because he had once privateer'd on the _English_ Side; he had also been a Pyrate, and now acted by Vertue of a Commission from a _Spanish_ Governor. He was by Birth an _Irishman_, a bold enterprising Fellow, and was afterwards killed in an Engagement with one _John Bonnavee_, Captain of Privateer belonging to _Jamaica_.
