%$& Some ISlew Voyages 



On the 20th of November, u e. a Month after our 

 Fifhermen fet fail, while I was entertaining at Sup- 

 per fome of the Inhabitants, he came Mask'd into 

 my Houfe, with his Servants, and broke the glafs 

 Windows, Bottles, and Drinking-Glaffes, and threw 

 down the Tables, Chairs, Chefts of Drawers, and 

 every thing that came to hand Before I had time 

 to get into my Chamber, and take my Piftols, this 

 infolent Mob difappear'd very feafonably ; for I 

 would have loaded my Piftols and purfu'd them, if 

 my Guefts had not hindred me. Next Morning his 

 Servants fell upon mine, who expected nothing lefs

 cond infult having provok'd my Patience to the 

 laft degree, I was meditating fome Revenge upon 

 thefe Affaffins, when the Recollets came and remon-

 Then 1 refolv'd to fhuc my felf up, and apply my

 Imploy'd to cut down fome Grafs in the Meadows, 

 about half a League from theGarrifon: They were 

 feizd while they were Mowing, bound and carried 

 away Prifoners, under the pretence of being De~ 

 ferters, becaufe they had lain two Nights out of the 

 Garrifon, without his leave ; and, which would have 

 prov'd yet more fatal to thefe innocent Men, he had 

 certainly caus'd 'em to be knock'd on the Head, on 

 purpofe to vex roe, if the Recollets, and his own Mif- 

 fs had not earneftly interceded on their behalf. 



After this Accident, the Recollets advifed me to go 

 andfeehim^and to entreat him to put an end to all his 

 Per fecutions,affuring him at the fame time,that I was 

 entirely his Servant arid Friend. Dums eft hie jermo.
