Two Men that came from the Shore, and cruised between _Block Island_ and _Rhode Island_ until Mr. _Emott’s_ Return; and having taken him on board went to _Gardner’s Island_, and there let him on shore: And there was landed at the said Island, from out of the Sloop _Antonio_, some Goods and Chests; and also several Bales and Chests were put into another Sloop that lay at the said _Gardner’s Island_ bound up sailed, with the Sloop _Antonio_ to _Block Island_; and there took up the Captain’s Wife, and a Gentleman that accompanied her; and then stood to _Gardner’s Island_; and there put the said Gentleman, which, the Examinant thinks, was named _Clark_, into a Sloop bound up the _Sound_: into which Sloop, there was also several Bales and Chests put, out of the Sloop, _Antonio_, by Order of the said Captain _Kidd_: And then we came to _Tarpolin Cove_, where there was a Bale and one or two Barrels of Goods landed: And from thence we came over the Shoals, and there met a Sloop from _Campechea_, bound to _Boston_; the Master of which Sloop, in the Canoe belonging to her, came on board our Sloop; and at his going off there was put into the Canoe a _Turkey_ work Carpet, Two or Three Small Arms; which is all that the Examinant took notice of. The Examinant further saith, That at their sharing at _Madagascar_, Captain _Kidd_ struck for, and received several Shares; knows not how many; there might be Forty. They stript the Galley at _Madagascar_, and burnt her to save her Iron-work; and also sunk their lesser Prize there. About Ninety of the said Galley’s Company deserted at _Madagascar_. The greater Prize was called the _Quedah Merchant_; which they left in _Hispaniola_, under the care of Mr. _Boulton_, and about Seventeen or Eighteen men to assist: Captain _Kidd_ promising to return to him in a short time: The Examinant supposes there might be about 150 Bales of Goods remaining on board her, about Eighty or Ninety Tons of Sugar, the Saltpetre, Iron, Guns and Anchors. Captain _Kidd_ traded with Messieurs _Boulton_ and _Burt_, for a considerable Quantity of Goods taken out of the said _Quidah Merchant_, at and about _Hispaniola_. HUGH PARROTT.
