drink Of water, and then she told her
she was nm English woman, and had

when she was L years old She says
this fellow was pirate when he first

got some clue TO where these fellows
were, and pulled the nest about them
and brought twenty women away with
them, all slaves. But they had the
English women confined in irons some
where else. But they told the men
they would hang them all there and
then to tree, if they would not tell
where the English woman was and
to save their lives they told-and they
then found the poor girl in dungeon.
