I coafted along till the Evening, and 
then brought to, and lay by till the next 
Morning. i\bout 2 hours after we were 
brought to, there came a Sail out of the 
Offin (from Seaward) and lay by about a 
Mile to Windward of us, and fo lay all 
Night. In the Morning, upon fpeaking 
with her , fhe proved to be a Portugmfe 
Ship bound to Bahia • therefore I fent my 
Boat aboard and defired to have one of his 
Mates to Pilot me in ; He anfwer’d. That 
he had not a Mate capable of it , but that 
he would fail in before me, and fhew me 
the Way ; and that if he wxnt in to the 
Harbour in the Night, he would hang out 
a Light for me. He faid we had not far 
in and might reach it before Night with a 
tolerable Gale ; but that with fo fmall an 
one as now we had we could not do it : So 
we jog’d on till Night, and then he ac- 
cordingly hung out his Light, which we 
fteered after, founding as we went in. I 
kept all my Men on Deck , and had an 
Anchor ready to let go on occafion. We 
had the Tide of Ebb againft us, fo that 
we went in but flowly ; and it was about 
tlie middle of the Night when we anchor’d^ 
Immediately the Bortugueje Mafter came
