When Captain _Whitney_ fired the eight a-Clock Gun, _Vane_ did the like with Shot, directed at the _Rose_. At Ten he pointed all the Guns of the _French_ Ship (double loaded) at the Man of War, and, after setting Fire to her, went with 40 Hands into a Sloop belonging to one _Yates_. As the _French_ Man burnt, the Guns fired, and cut some more of the _Rose_'s Rigging. Captain _Whitney_ apprehending Danger from the fir'd Ship, together with the _Shark_ Sloop, cut and put out to Sea, which gave _Vane_ an Opportunity he laid hold on, to take what he thought fit off Shore, and to force the best Carpenter and Pilot in the Island on Board him. When he had done, he went to, and lay at _Potters Key_ all Night, and the next Morning got under Sail. His Excellency dispatch'd after him the _Buck_ Sloop and another small one, both well mann'd and fitted, which gain'd while he was upon a Wind, and came, before he clear'd the East End of the Island, within Gun-Shot; but he easing out his Main-Sheet, and setting his Flying-Jibb, left them soon after; wherefore, Night coming on, and their Pursuit being fruitless, they return'd. Soon after _Vane_ sent the Governor of _Providence_ Word, he would make him a Visit, and burn his Guardship, for sending two Sloops to chase him instead of answering his Letter. The 30th of _August_ he took the _Neptune_ of 400 Tuns, and the _Emperor_ of 200 Tuns, the Particulars of which are in the subjoin'd Protest. The 9th of _September_ he arrived at _Allens Key_ in a _Spanish_ Brigantine; he had before taken a _Spanish_ Ship of the _Havanna_; here he forced on Board a Pilot, took a Sloop and went to _Green Turtle Key_. I have only to add: This Pyrate, whose Death is set down in the first Volume, betray'd the Coward when at the Gallows, and died in Agonies equal to his Villainies, which he gave no Ground to believe proceeded from the Apprehensions of a future State, but the Fear of Death. He shew'd not the least Remorse for the Crimes of his past Life, which was taken Notice of by the Spectators of his deserved Punishment, and told me by a worthy Gentleman who saw Justice done on him at _Gallows Point_ on _Port Royal_. The Protest of Captain _King_, Commander of the _Neptune_ Hagboat.
