the South-Sea. 



Mart, who was a fmall Merchant difguized, was always 

 boalting, that he had hang'd up a Frenchman by the Heels, 

 when he was only Lieutenant-General, and impudently 

 added in the Street, that he ftiould not die with Satif- 

 fa&ion till he had hang"d up another by thofe Parts which 

 Modefty does not allow to name. Chance, which had 

 furnifh'd his wicked Inclination with an Opportunity to 

 put to that Shame, upon the flight Pretence of an Infuk, 

 the Nephew of a Captain of a Ship belonging to the Eaft- 

 India Company, who happen'd to be in the Road, in the 

 Year 171 2, presented him another to execute his bafe De~ 

 fign in Part. 



The Armourer of the Ship call'd the Holy Ghofl, quarrel- 

 ing with a Spaniard, ran him through, and kilfd him ; 

 he immediately clapp'd him in Gaol, and condemn'd him 

 to Death ; whatfoever Offers were made, he would not be 

 mollify'd, nor brought to abate of that extraordinary 

 Severity, in a Country where the moft heinous of Crimes 

 are notpunilli'd after that Manner ; but we being upon the 

 Point of Sailing, Grout, the Captain of the Ship, left that 

 Man expofed to the Malice of the Corregidor, either through 

 Caution or Timoroufnefs, whereas he might have de- 

 manded him to have him punifli'd in France. Be that as 

 it will, we were afterwards inform'd, that he had been 

 refcued by difguized Friers, who for Money forced the 

 Guards. 



The fame Day, being the 17th of February , the Crffar 

 of Marseilles arrived from France, to trade along the 

 Coaft. 



In fine, after having lain there 3 Months, we fail'd on 

 the 19th of February on our Return for France, in Com- 

 pany with the Shepherd, the Prince oj Anurias, and the 

 Holy Ghoft, which was admitted as Commadore, de- 

 figning to put in together into Bahia de todos os Santos, in
