_Misson_ answer'd he could not yet take any Resolution, tho' he had Thoughts of returning to _Europe_, and privately visiting his Family, if any where alive, and then to retire from the World. They dined with the Quarter-Master, who press'd their Return to _America_, to procure a Commission for the settling a Colony. _Misson_ told _Tew_, he should have one of the Sloops, and what Volunteers would keep him Company, for his Misfortunes had erased all Thoughts of future Settlements; that what Riches they had saved, he would distribute equally, nay, he would be content, if he had only a bare Support left him. On this Answer, four of the Quarter-Master's Company offer'd to join Captain _Tew_. In the Afternoon they visited both Sloops, and _Misson_ putting the Question to the Men, thirty went on board of one Sloop, tho' they parted with great Reluctance from their old Commander; and fifteen staid with _Misson_. The four Men who join'd _Tew_ made the Number of his Crew 34; they staid about a Week, in hopes of the _Bijoux_'s Return upon the Coast; but she not appearing, they set sail, Captain _Misson_ having first shared the Treasure, with _Tew_ and his other Friends and Companions, hoping to meet the _Bijoux_ on the _Guiney_ Coast, for which they shaped their Course. Off Cape _Infantes_, they were over-taken with a Storm, in which the unhappy _Misson_'s Sloop went down, within a Musket Shot of Captain _Tew_, who could give him no Assistance. _Tew_ continued his Course for _America_, and arrived at _Rhode Island_ without any Accident; his Men dispersed themselves, as they thought fit, and _Tew_ sent to _Bermudas_ for his Owners Account fourteen Times the Value of their Sloop, and not being questioned by any, liv'd in great Tranquillity; the _French_ belonging to _Misson_, took different Routs, one of whom dying at _Rochelle_, the _French_ Manuscript of _Misson_'s Life was found among his Papers, and transmitted to me by a Friend and Correspondent. Captain _Tew_ lived unquestion'd, _&c._ he had an easy Fortune, and designed to live quietly at home; but those of his Men, who lived near him, having squandered their Shares, were continually solliciting him to take another Trip: He withstood their Request a considerable Time; but they having got together (by the Report they made of the vast Riches to be acquired) a Number of resolute Fellows, they, in a Body, begg'd him to head them but for one Voyage. They were so earnest in their Desire, that he could not refuse complying. They prepared a small Sloop, and made the best of their Way to the _Streights_, entering the _Red Sea_, where they met with, and attack'd a Ship belonging to the Great _Mogul_; in the Engagement, a Shot carried away the Rim of _Tew_'s Belly, who held his Bowels with his Hands some small Space; when he dropp'd, it struck such a Terror in his Men, that they suffered themselves to be taken, without making Resistance.
