Of Cdpt. Edwa Rt) Low. 3 8^ 



elt^inent Deliverance: But inftead thereof, vented 

 a Million of Oaths and Gurfes upon the Captain 

 of the (7r^)^W^(5i, vowing to execute Vengeance 

 upon all they ftiould meet -with afterwards, for the 

 Indignity he put upon them. 



The ftrft Prey that they met with, after their 

 Flight, was a fmall Sloop belonging to Nantucht^ 

 a Whale-Fiftiing, about 80 Miles from Land ^ the 

 Mafter of which, one Nathan Skiffs a brisk young 

 Fellow, the PyrateS cruelly whipp'd naked about 

 the Deck, making his Torture their Sport ^ after 

 which they cut of his Ears, and laft of all fhot him 

 through the Head, and then funk his VefTel ^ put- 

 ting the reft of the Hands into their Whale-Boat, 

 with a Compafs, a little Water, and a few Biskets • 

 and it being good Weather, they providentially got 

 lafe to Nantucket J beyond all Expeftatidn* 



There was another Whale-Boat belonging to 

 this Sloop laft mentioried, which happened to be 

 at fome Diftance from her, and perceiving what 

 wa5 doing, rowed with all fpeed to another Sloop 

 not far off, to acquaint her with the Misfortune, 

 that the iMen might take Cafe of themfelves*, and 

 Ihe happily got away in Time. Some Days after. 

 Low took a Fifliing-Boat off of Slock IJlandj but did 

 not perpetrate fo much Cruelty to her, contenting 

 himfelf with only cutting off the Matter's Head : 

 But after taking two Whale-Boat^ near Rhode IJland^ 

 he caufed one of the Matter's Bodies to be rippMup, 

 and his Intralls to betaken out;, and cut off the 

 Ears of the other, and made him eat them him- 

 ftlf with Pepper and Salt^ which hard Injun* 

 ftion he comply'd with, without making a Word. 

 Several other Perfons he would have murthered, 

 but HutJTanity prevailing in "the tender Hearts of 

 his Companions, they refufed to put his favage 

 Orders in Execution.
