The Loss of this Ship made the Crew almost distracted, and made, for some Time, a great Division among them, some cursing the Ship for a heavy Sailor, and proposing to return home, others cursing themselves, and the ill Management by which they miss'd lashing, and propos'd going to _Madagascar_, and the breaking her up, since as she was a single Bottom, she must be worm-eaten; but Time, which mollifies the greatest Rage, abated these Contentions, and put an End to the Animosities which sprung from their Disappointment. They being cool, resolved for the _Malabar_ Coast, on which they took three _Moor_ Ships in a little Time; the first they discharged, after taking out 6000 Dollars; the second they took for their own Use, mounted her with 26 Guns, and called her the _Dolphin_; the third they sold on the same Coast for 18000 Dollars. Their own Ship they set adrift. From this Coast they made for _Madagascar_, and near the Island _Mascarenas_ lost all their Masts in a Hurricane. They put up Jury-Masts, came to St. _Mary_'s and new masted. Here they found Captain _Culliford_, Captain _Shivers_, and their Prize, with three Merchant Men from _America_, which were come to trade with them, one of which was the _Pembrook_, commanded by _Samuel Burges_, belonging to _Frederick Phillips_, Merchant at _New-York_. The Captain of the _Dolphin_, and some of the Men being weary of this Life, went home in these Merchant Ships, and the Crew chose one _Samuel Inless_, who lived on the Island, for their Captain; they fitted out for the _Streights_ of _Malacca_, where they made several Prizes of _Moor_ Ships, but of little value to them. _North_ on board one of the Prizes, was separated from the rest by bad Weather, and drove to great Straights for Water. The _Moor_ Merchant, who was on board with him, and whom he had treated very humanely, shewed him a Draught, by which he came to a small Island not far from the _Dutch_ Settlement, and watered. The _Moor_ told him, that he ran the Risque of his Life should it be known that he had given him a Sight of this Draught. In return for this Service, when he met with his Companions, he got the _Moor_'s Ship discharged. They, after this, made for _Nicobar_, near _Achen_, and, in the Way, met a large _Dane_ Ship, which they plunder'd, and hove down by, clean'd, and return'd to _Madagascar_, where they shar'd their Booty, which was, besides Goods, between 3 and 400 l. a Man. A Month after their Arrival three _English_ Men of War appear'd in Sight, the _Anglesea_, Captain _Littleton_, the _Hastings_, Captain _White_, and the _Lizard_, Captain _Rumsey_. These Ships occasioned their hawling up the _Dolphin_, which, as they could not get her as high as they design'd, they set Fire to.
