But not meeting with Prey in this first Cruise, they came to an Anchor about three Leagues to the Northward of _Cochen_, expecting some Boats to come off with Supplies of Refreshments, for which Purpose they fired several Guns, by way of Signal, but none appearing, the Quarter-Master was sent in the Pinnace to confer with the People, which he did with some Caution, keeping the Boat upon their Oars at the Shore-Side: In short, they agreed very well, the Pyrates were promised whatever Necessaries they wanted, and the Boat returned aboard. The next Day a Boat came off from the Town with Hogs, Goats, Wine, _&c._ with a private Intimation from _Malpa_, the _Dutch_ Broker, an old Friend of the Pyrates, that a Ship of that Country called the _Rimæ_, lay then in _Mudbay_, not many Leagues off, and if they would go out and take her, he would purchase the Cargo of them, and likewise promised that they should be further supplied with Pitch, Tar, and all other Necessaries, which was made good to them; for People from the Factory flocked aboard every Hour, and dealt with them as in open Market, for all Sorts of Merchandize, Refreshments, Jewels and Plate, returning with Coffers of Money, _&c._ to a great Value. The Advice of the Ship was taken very kindly, but the Pyrates judging their own Ship too large to go close into the Bay, consulted their Friend upon Means for taking the said Ship, who readily treated with them for the Sale of one of less Burthen that lay then in the Harbour; but _Malpa_ speaking to one _Punt_ of the Factory to carry her out, he not only refused to be concerned in such a Piece of Villainy, but reproved _Malpa_ for corresponding with the Pyrates, and told him, if he should be guilty of so base an Action, he must never see the Face of any of his Countrymen more; which made the honest Broker change both his Countenance and his Purpose. At this Place Captain _Woolley_, whom they had taken for their Pilot on the _India_ Coast, being in a very sick and weak Condition, was, at his earnest Intreaty, discharged from his severe Confinement among them, and set ashore, and the next Day the Pyrates sailed, and ranged along the _Mallabar_ Coast, in quest of more Booty. In their Way they met a second time with the _Pembroke_, and plundered her of some Sugar, and other small Things, and let her go again. From the Coast they sail'd back for the Island of _Mauritius_, where they lay some Time, and lived after their usual extravagant Manner.
