Having purchas'd a considerable Quantity of Samsams he went to _Johanna_, and thence to _Mayotta_, return'd again to _Madagascar_, but not being able to get round the North End, on Account of the Current, he put for _Mayotta_ again; on the West Side of this Island put into a Port, called _Sorez_, where, some Time before, came a Ship from _England_ to trade, commanded by one _Price_, who going ashore with his Doctor was detained (as was also his Boat's Crew) till he redeem'd himself and Surgeon, with 200 Barrels of Powder and 1000 Small Arms; but was forced to leave his Boat's Crew, not having wherewithal to ransom them, tho' the Demand was only two Small Arms for each Man. These poor Creatures were afterwards sold to the _Arabians_; in Revenge _North_ and his Crew landed, burnt a large Town, and did all the Damage they could. From _Mayotta_ he went again to _Madagascar_, where a King of his Acquaintance told him, the Whites and Natives were at War at _Ambonavoula_; he bought thirty Slaves, refreshed his Crew, and went home. On the News of his Arrival the Natives sent to conclude a Peace, but he would not listen to them; on the contrary, rais'd an Army, burnt a Number of Towns, and took a great many Prisoners. This Success brought the Natives to sue in a very humble Manner for a Cessation of Arms, that a general Peace might follow: This he agreed to about four Months after his Arrival. His Enemies, having now the Opportunity, corrupted some of his neighbouring Natives, and in the Night surprized and murder'd him in his Bed. His Comrades, however, being alarmed, took to their Arms, drove the treacherous Multitude before them with great Slaughter; and to revenge _North_'s Death continued the War seven Years, in which Time they became Masters of all the Country round, and drove out all who did not swear Allegiance to them. _North_ had his Will lying by him, which directed _J. B._ to carry his Children to _Mascarenas_, in his Sloop which he left to the said _J. B._ who was at the Charge to fit her up, and laid out the greater Part of the Money _North_ bequeathed him; but the Pyrates would not suffer him to stir while the Wars lasted, fearing he would not return, having never join'd them in any Pyracies; and therefore, by one Consent, setting Fire to the Sloop, they detained him several Years, if he is not still there.
