When they were put off, the Captain of the _Speaker_ desired them to come back, he wanted to speak with them; Captain _Booth_ asked, what he wanted? He said, they could never take his Ship, then said _Booth_, we'll die in or along Side of her; but replied the Captain, if you will go with Safety, don't board on the Lar-board Side, for there is a Gun out of the Steerage loaden with Patridge, will clear the Decks; they thank'd him, and proceeded. When they were near the Ship they were haled, and the Answer was, _the Coventry_; all well, said the Mate, get the Lights over the Side, but spying the second Boat, he asked what Boat that was? one answered, it was a Raft of Water, another, that it was a Boat of Beef; this Disagreement in the Answers made the Mate suspicious, who cried out _Pyrates, take to your Arms my Lads_, and immediately clapp'd a Match to a Gun, which, as the Priming was before wet by the Treachery of _Hugh Man_, only fizz'd; they boarded in the Instant, and made themselves Masters of her, without the Loss of a Man on either Side. The next Day they put necessary Provisions on board the _French_ built Ship, and gave her to the Captain of the _Speaker_, and those Men who would go off with him, among whom was _Man_, who had betray'd his Ship; for the Pyrates had both paid him the 100 l. agreed, and kept his Secret. The Captain having thus lost his Ship, sail'd in that the Pyrates gave him, for _Johanna_, where he fell ill and died with Grief. The Pyrates having here victualled, they sail'd for the Bay of St. _Augustine_, where they took in between 70 and 80 Men, who had belonged to the Ship _Alexander_, commanded by Captain _James_, a Pyrate; they also took up her Guns, and mounted the _Speaker_ with 54, which made up their Number 240 Men besides Slaves, of which they had about 20. From hence they sailed for the _East Indies_, but stopp'd at _Zanguebar_ for fresh Provisions, where the _Portuguese_ had once a Settlement, but now inhabited by _Arabians_; some of them went ashore with the Captain to buy Provisions, the Captain was sent for by the Governor, who went with about 14 in Company: They past thro' the Guard, and when they were entered the Governor's House, they were all cut off; and, at the same Time, others who were in different Houses of the Town were set upon, which made them fly to the Shore; the Long-Boat, which lay off at a Grapling, was immediately put in by those who look'd after her: There were not above half a dozen of the Pyrates who brought their Arms ashore, but they plyed them so well, for they were in the Boat, that most of the Men got into her, the Quarter-Master ran down Sword in Hand, and tho' he was attack'd by many, he behaved himself so well, that he got into a little Canoe, put her off and reached the Long-Boat.
