Captain _Tew_ went on Shore again in the Evening, the Wind not serving to weigh, it blowing due _West_; he asked the Governor, how he got acquainted with the Natives? and he answered, by meeting them a Hunting, and using them well; that he wheedled one of them down to their Huts, the Fellow being alone, and they three in Company, he suppos'd, thought it best to go with seeming Willingness. After him several came, and they liv'd very friendly with them: The Captain had brought ashore with him some Rum and Brandy, and they were drinking a Bowl of Punch, when, on a sudden, a violent Storm arose; Captain _Tew_ ran to the Shore, and made a Signal for his Boat to carry him off, but the Sea ran too high to venture out of the Ship: The Storm all the while increas'd, and the _Victoire_, in less than two Hours, parted her Cables, was drove ashore where it was steep to, and perished, with all her Men, in Captain _Tew_'s Sight. The Captain staid with his old Companions, without knowing which Way to return to his Friends he had left with _Misson_, not one of whom was (luckily for them,) on board the Ship. At the End of three Months, as far as they could discover a Hutt, they saw a large Ship, which _Tew_ believed was the _Bijoux_; but she took no Notice of the Fires they made: As he expected she would return after a short Cruize, he, and his Companions, made large Fires every Night on the Shore, and visited the Coast very often. About a Month after this, as they came early to the Sea-Side, they were surpriz'd at the Sight of two Sloops which lay at an Anchor, about a Canon Shot from the Shore; they had not been long looking upon them, when a Canoe was hoisted out of One, and made to them, with six Men who row'd, and one Sitter. _Tew_ soon knew him to be Captain _Misson_; he came ashore, and embracing the former, told him, all their propos'd Happiness was vanished; for without the least Provocation given, in the Dead of the Night, the Natives came down upon them in two great Bodies, and made a great Slaughter, without Distinction of Age or Sex, before they could put themselves in a Posture of Defence; that _Caraccioli_ (who died in the Action) and he got what Men together they could, to make a Stand; but finding all Resistance vain against such Numbers, he made a Shift to secure a considerable Quantity of rough Diamonds and Bar Gold, and to get on board the two Sloops with 45 Men: That the _Bijoux_ being gone to cruize, and the Number of Men he had carried with him in the _Victoire_, weaken'd the Colony, and given the Natives the Boldness to attack them as they did, but for what Reason he could not imagine. _Tew_ gave him an Account of the Disaster which had happen'd; and after having mutually condol'd their Misfortunes, _Tew_ propos'd their going to _America_, where _Misson_ might, with the Riches he had, pass his Life unknown, and in a comfortable Manner.
