Kidd, William, -1701; Pirates -- Biography
Further the Examinant saith, That, when they came from _Hispaniola_,
Captain _Kidd_ told Mr. _Boulton_, whom he left in Charge of the Ship
that he would return to him again in a short time, after he had spoken
with my Lord _Bellamont_; and that the _New York_ Sloop, whereinto they
put the Goods at _Gardner’s Island_ as aforesaid, was an open Sloop,
manned with Two Men, named _Coster_ and _Hendrick_: There was Three Bales
of Goods, and Two Bags of Sugar, delivered out of the Sloop _Antonio_ at
Boston, unto Mr. _Duncan Campbell_. Saith, He knows not what sum Captain
_Kidd_ paid for the Purchase of the Sloop.

Voyage, and, since the Loss of her, in the Ship _Quidah Merchant_, and
