remaitiall at this Wood dorioe that day, althongli
:the wind was fair to have continued our course; the
encore to my senwastrance was, the pilot woo not

got muter way; after beating about all night. and the
whole of the next day with a free wind. they
brought the vessel to anchor among a small Cluster

the *amt. time, that he , was about 12 miles from
land, hot being satisfied in my own mind that we
were rut more thou three miles from it, all these
circumstances combined to convince me in my sus-
pintes, elsat some foul tratiraction was intended.
Heim; s xiremely ill myself with the fever, yet I
oas.eletrtininvd to keep a strict look out, accord-
iugiy kept cositissually on deck. About 13 o'clock
I discovered a boat pulling up under the stern ; I
intusedustely hailed her, and received for answer
the di,tharge of • musket, the ball passing close
by my listed. I ran below to call the Captain and
eerie, but they not appearing to be any way alarm-
ed, coofirined me in my suspicions. Hy this time
we were hoarded by seven armed men from the
boat—at this abotueitt I was ;preparing my wife and
*later to guard as moth as was to their power
against emergency. lit a few moments we were
ri7deeell into the hold, when I
soon heard them cote-
vertitig plans to put rue to death ; the first proposi-
tion was to hang me, and heave the women over-
hoard, two of my crew, who lied only feigned them-
selves sick, joining in the mord, ttttt s intention, on
condition of sharing iu the plunder. They had
'drew-1y passed the rope down for the horrid pnr-
pose, when my wilt, leeartog their cooversation,
became so alarmed as to throw her into convulsive

freriry of despair, drew fur a moment the attentions
of the murderers. from their purpose; they held
another consultation, 1411(1 concluded to drag me
up, tie sty hands and feet, and heave me over-
board, then take their leisure to destroy the women.
My wale and sister understanding this determina-
tion, the resolution of Intlollllg with me,
tether than subject themselves to any aggravated
brutality of those wretches. They accordingly fas-
tened themselves 'ipso me, with the determined
resolutimi never to separate. The villains, finding
all their endeavours to separate us useless, and
seized perhaps by some shadow of compassion by
our fixed resolution, &lasted from any further at-
Irrupts on our persons. and commenced plundering
tlie vessel of all the articles we had saved from the
wreck. They took all the clothes from my trunk,
together with 800 dollars in specie—Goo dollars in
Coded States bills—leo dollars beloogiog to my
eater; died our trunks of watcher, jewelers,

log her from travelling as fast as the other.) were
waylaid by a parcel of ruffian* and fired at. The

shattered it in a most shocking manner. It was
