Of CapU ThO^ ANSTfS. 531 



About the Middle of June^ thefe Pyrates met 

 with one Captain Marfton^ between Hfpamola and 

 Jamaica^ bound on a Voyage to New-lork ^ from 

 whom they took all the wearing Apparel they 

 could find, as alfo his Liquors and Provifion, and 

 five of his Men, but did not touch his Cargo two 

 or three other Veifels were alfo plundered by them, 

 in this Cruife, out ot whom they ftocked them- 

 felves with Provifion and Men among the reft, • 

 I think, was the Irwin^ Captain Rofs^ from Cork in 

 Ireland'^ but this I won't be pofitlve of, becaufe 

 they denied it themfelves. This Ship had 600 

 Barrels of Beef aboard, befides other Provilions, 

 and was taken off Mminko^ wherein Colonel 

 T>oyly of Montferrat^ and his Family were Pallengers. 

 The Colonel was very much abufed and wounded, 

 for eiiideavouring to fave a poor Woman, that was 

 alfo a PafTenger, from the Infults of that brutiih 

 Crew ; and the Pyrates prevailing, twenty one 

 of them forced the poor Creature fuccelllvely, 

 afterwards broke her Back and flung her into the 

 Sea. I fay, I will not be pofitive it was Anjlis^^ 

 Crew that afted this unheard of Violence and 

 Cruelty, tho' the Circumftances of the Place, the 

 Time, the Force of the Veflel, and the Number 

 of Men, do all concur, and I can place the Villany 

 no where elfe ; but that fuch^ Faflb was done, there 

 is too much Evidence for it to be doubted oL 



Wh^a they thought fit to put an End to this 

 Cruize, they went into one of the Iflands to clean, 

 which they effeflted without any Difturbance, and 

 came out again, and ftretching away towards Bur- 

 mudasy met with a ftout Ship, called the Morning 

 Stary bound from Cuiney to Carolina they made 

 Prize of her, and kept her for their own tjfe. In 

 a Day or two, a Ship from Barhadoes bound to Nexp^ , 

 lorky fell ii^to their Hands, and taking out her Guns
