_Boulton_, and 12 Men
more: And the said Captain _Kidd_ promised to return again to the said
Ship, in the Space of Three Months; and the said _Boulton_ promised to
stay with the same for so long time; Which Ship the said Captain _Kidd_
left lying in the River, in _Hispaniola_ aforesaid, to be reckoned about
Eighteen Leagues from _Mona_.
The Examinant further saith, That, after the said Galley had taken the
Two Ships before-mentioned, She also, in her Passage to _St. Marie’s_
aforesaid, took a Bark or Ship, of the Burden of 180 Tons, with about
Seventy Persons on board, navigated with _Portuguez_: She came from
_Bengall_; and was bound to _Goa_; and had on board Bengalls, Muslins,
Calicoes, and other things, which the Galley’s Company began to plunder,
and bring on board the Galley; but seeing several Ships coming down
towards them, the said Galley, with the other two Prizes she had taken,
came to sail, and left the said last Prize at a Place between _Brin John_
and _Angingo_, so called being an _English_ and _Dutch_ Factory, and left
on board the same all the Company belonging thereto, except the Master,
Merchant, and Seven Men more, that came on board the Galley when she
first took the said Ship: And the Vessel that was first taken by the said
Galley, as before-mentioned, was, by the said Galley’s Company, sunk at
_St. Marie’s_ aforesaid, after they had brought her thither.
And the said _William Jinkins_ the Examinant further saith, That whilst
Captain _Kidd_ and his Company, lay with the said Ship _Quidah Merchant_
at _Mona_ aforesaid, one _Burt_, Merchant of _Curaso_, came to them in a
Brigantine, and purchased several Goods of the said Captain _Kidd_; for
which he paid Part in money, and Part in Flour.
