Nothing
happened
worth
mentioning
in
this
voyage
.
We
sailed
with
a
fair
wind
to
the
Cape
of
Good
Hope
,
where
we
staid
only
to
take
in
fresh
water
.
On
the
10th
of
April
,
1710
,
we
arrived
safe
at
Amsterdam
,
having
lost
only
three
men
by
sickness
in
the
voyage
,
and
a
fourth
,
who
fell
from
the
foremast
into
the
sea
,
not
far
from
the
coast
of
Guinea
.
From
Amsterdam
I
soon
after
set
sail
for
England
,
in
a
small
vessel
belonging
to
that
city
.
562
On
the
16th
of
April
we
put
in
at
the
Downs
.
I
landed
next
morning
,
and
saw
once
more
my
native
country
,
after
an
absence
of
five
years
and
six
months
complete
.
I
went
straight
to
Redriff
,
where
I
arrived
the
same
day
at
two
in
the
afternoon
,
and
found
my
wife
and
family
in
good
health
.
563
I
continued
at
home
with
my
wife
and
children
about
five
months
,
in
a
very
happy
condition
,
if
I
could
have
learned
the
lesson
of
knowing
when
I
was
well
.
I
left
my
poor
wife
big
with
child
,
and
accepted
an
advantageous
offer
made
me
to
be
captain
of
the
Adventurer
,
a
stout
merchantman
of
350
tons
:
for
I
understood
navigation
well
,
and
being
grown
weary
of
a
surgeon
's
employment
at
sea
,
which
,
however
,
I
could
exercise
upon
occasion
,
I
took
a
skilful
young
man
of
that
calling
,
one
Robert
Purefoy
,
into
my
ship
.
We
set
sail
from
Portsmouth
upon
the
7th
day
of
September
,
1710
;
on
the
14th
we
met
with
Captain
Pocock
,
of
Bristol
,
at
Teneriffe
,
who
was
going
to
the
bay
of
Campechy
to
cut
logwood
.
On
the
16th
,
he
was
parted
from
us
by
a
storm
;
I
heard
since
my
return
,
that
his
ship
foundered
,
and
none
escaped
but
one
cabin
boy
.
He
was
an
honest
man
,
and
a
good
sailor
,
but
a
little
too
positive
in
his
own
opinions
,
which
was
the
cause
of
his
destruction
,
as
it
has
been
with
several
others
;
for
if
he
had
followed
my
advice
,
he
might
have
been
safe
at
home
with
his
family
at
this
time
,
as
well
as
myself
.

I
had
several
men
who
died
in
my
ship
of
calentures
,
so
that
I
was
forced
to
get
recruits
out
of
Barbadoes
and
the
Leeward
Islands
,
where
I
touched
,
by
the
direction
of
the
merchants
who
employed
me
;
which
I
had
soon
too
much
cause
to
repent
:
for
I
found
afterwards
,
that
most
of
them
had
been
buccaneers
.
I
had
fifty
hands
onboard
;
and
my
orders
were
,
that
I
should
trade
with
the
Indians
in
the
South-Sea
,
and
make
what
discoveries
I
could
.
565
These
rogues
,
whom
I
had
picked
up
,
debauched
my
other
men
,
and
they
all
formed
a
conspiracy
to
seize
the
ship
,
and
secure
me
;
which
they
did
one
morning
,
rushing
into
my
cabin
,
and
binding
me
hand
and
foot
,
threatening
to
throw
me
overboard
,
if
I
offered
to
stir
.
I
told
them
,
"
I
was
their
prisoner
,
and
would
submit
.
"
This
they
made
me
swear
to
do
,
and
then
they
unbound
me
,
only
fastening
one
of
my
legs
with
a
chain
,
near
my
bed
,
and
placed
a
sentry
at
my
door
with
his
piece
charged
,
who
was
commanded
to
shoot
me
dead
if
I
attempted
my
liberty
.
They
sent
me
own
victuals
and
drink
,
and
took
the
government
of
the
ship
to
themselves
.
Their
design
was
to
turn
pirates
and
,
plunder
the
Spaniards
,
which
they
could
not
do
till
they
got
more
men
.
But
first
they
resolved
to
sell
the
goods
the
ship
,
and
then
go
to
Madagascar
for
recruits
,
several
among
them
having
died
since
my
confinement
.
They
sailed
many
weeks
,
and
traded
with
the
Indians
;
but
I
knew
not
what
course
they
took
,
being
kept
a
close
prisoner
in
my
cabin
,
and
expecting
nothing
less
than
to
be
murdered
,
as
they
often
threatened
me
.
566
Upon
the
9th
day
of
May
,
1711
,
one
James
Welch
came
down
to
my
cabin
,
and
said
,
"
he
had
orders
from
the
captain
to
set
me
ashore
.
"
I
expostulated
with
him
,
but
in
vain
;
neither
would
he
so
much
as
tell
me
who
their
new
captain
was
.
567
They
forced
me
into
the
long-boat
,
letting
me
put
on
my
best
suit
of
clothes
,
which
were
as
good
as
new
,
and
take
a
small
bundle
of
linen
,
but
no
arms
,
except
my
hanger
;
and
they
were
so
civil
as
not
to
search
my
pockets
,
into
which
I
conveyed
what
money
I
had
,
with
some
other
little
necessaries
.
They
rowed
about
a
league
,
and
then
set
me
down
on
a
strand
.
I
desired
them
to
tell
me
what
country
it
was
.
They
all
swore
,
"
they
knew
no
more
than
myself
;
"
but
said
,
"
that
the
captain
"
(
(
as
they
called
him
)
)
"
was
resolved
,
after
they
had
sold
the
lading
,
to
get
rid
of
me
in
the
first
place
where
they
could
discover
land
.
"
They
pushed
off
immediately
,
advising
me
to
make
haste
for
fear
of
being
overtaken
by
the
tide
,
and
so
bade
me
farewell
.

In
this
desolate
condition
I
advanced
forward
,
and
soon
got
upon
firm
ground
,
where
I
sat
down
on
a
bank
to
rest
myself
,
and
consider
what
I
had
best
do
.
When
I
was
a
little
refreshed
,
I
went
up
into
the
country
,
resolving
to
deliver
myself
to
the
first
savages
I
should
meet
,
and
purchase
my
life
from
them
by
some
bracelets
,
glass
rings
,
and
other
toys
,
which
sailors
usually
provide
themselves
with
in
those
voyages
,
and
whereof
I
had
some
about
me
.
The
land
was
divided
by
long
rows
of
trees
,
not
regularly
planted
,
but
naturally
growing
;
there
was
great
plenty
of
grass
,
and
several
fields
of
oats
.
I
walked
very
circumspectly
,
for
fear
of
being
surprised
,
or
suddenly
shot
with
an
arrow
from
behind
,
or
on
either
side
.
I
fell
into
a
beaten
road
,
where
I
saw
many
tracts
of
human
feet
,
and
some
of
cows
,
but
most
of
horses
.
569
At
last
I
beheld
several
animals
in
a
field
,
and
one
or
two
of
the
same
kind
sitting
in
trees
.
Their
shape
was
very
singular
and
deformed
,
which
a
little
discomposed
me
,
so
that
I
lay
down
behind
a
thicket
to
observe
them
better
.
Some
of
them
coming
forward
near
the
place
where
I
lay
,
gave
me
an
opportunity
of
distinctly
marking
their
form
.
Their
heads
and
breasts
were
covered
with
a
thick
hair
,
some
frizzled
,
and
others
lank
;
they
had
beards
like
goats
,
and
a
long
ridge
of
hair
down
their
backs
,
and
the
fore
parts
of
their
legs
and
feet
;
but
the
rest
of
their
bodies
was
bare
,
so
that
I
might
see
their
skins
,
which
were
of
a
brown
buff
colour
.
They
had
no
tails
,
nor
any
hair
at
all
on
their
buttocks
,
except
about
the
anus
,
which
,
I
presume
,
nature
had
placed
there
to
defend
them
as
they
sat
on
the
ground
,
for
this
posture
they
used
,
as
well
as
lying
down
,
and
often
stood
on
their
hind
feet
.
They
climbed
high
trees
as
nimbly
as
a
squirrel
,
for
they
had
strong
extended
claws
before
and
behind
,
terminating
in
sharp
points
,
and
hooked
.
They
would
often
spring
,
and
bound
,
and
leap
,
with
prodigious
agility
.
The
females
were
not
so
large
as
the
males
;
they
had
long
lank
hair
on
their
heads
,
but
none
on
their
faces
,
nor
any
thing
more
than
a
sort
of
down
on
the
rest
of
their
bodies
,
except
about
the
anus
and
pudenda
.
The
dugs
hung
between
their
fore
feet
,
and
often
reached
almost
to
the
ground
as
they
walked
.
The
hair
of
both
sexes
was
of
several
colours
,
brown
,
red
,
black
,
and
yellow
.
570
Upon
the
whole
,
I
never
beheld
,
in
all
my
travels
,
so
disagreeable
an
animal
,
or
one
against
which
I
naturally
conceived
so
strong
an
antipathy
.
So
that
,
thinking
I
had
seen
enough
,
full
of
contempt
and
aversion
,
I
got
up
,
and
pursued
the
beaten
road
,
hoping
it
might
direct
me
to
the
cabin
of
some
Indian
.
I
had
not
got
far
,
when
I
met
one
of
these
creatures
full
in
my
way
,
and
coming
up
directly
to
me
.
The
ugly
monster
,
when
he
saw
me
,
distorted
several
ways
,
every
feature
of
his
visage
,
and
stared
,
as
at
an
object
he
had
never
seen
before
;
then
approaching
nearer
,
lifted
up
his
fore-paw
,
whether
out
of
curiosity
or
mischief
I
could
not
tell
;
but
I
drew
my
hanger
,
and
gave
him
a
good
blow
with
the
flat
side
of
it
,
for
I
durst
not
strike
with
the
edge
,
fearing
the
inhabitants
might
be
provoked
against
me
,
if
they
should
come
to
know
that
I
had
killed
or
maimed
any
of
their
cattle
.
When
the
beast
felt
the
smart
,
he
drew
back
,
and
roared
so
loud
,
that
a
herd
of
at
least
forty
came
flocking
about
me
from
the
next
field
,
howling
and
making
odious
faces
;
but
I
ran
to
the
body
of
a
tree
,
and
leaning
my
back
against
it
,
kept
them
off
by
waving
my
hanger
.
Several
of
this
cursed
brood
,
getting
hold
of
the
branches
behind
,
leaped
up
into
the
tree
,
whence
they
began
to
discharge
their
excrements
on
my
head
;
however
,
I
escaped
pretty
well
by
sticking
close
to
the
stem
of
the
tree
,
but
was
almost
stifled
with
the
filth
,
which
fell
about
me
on
every
side
.
