A new Account
vice they took to be very wholfom, and pun-
^ually followed it.
The Captain complained to me of the
Paffengers Rudenefs. I told him, that they
only followed my Advice, fori could not fee
what Pleafure he could take in ftarving poor
Men, fince what they did eat was nothing
out of his Pockets, for I knew the Charges
would be allowed in his Accounts with his
Employers, and advifed him to treat them
civilly at Sea, fince they being fuperior in
Numbers to his Ship's Company, might make
them ufe Force to obtain what they ought
to have by fair Means: Nor was I out in my
Conjedure, for at Sea he put them to lb
fmall an Allowance, that they mutinyed, and
threatned to carry him and the Ship to Ma-
dagafcary and deliver him to the Pirates.
A bout Chriftmas I brake up Houfe-keep-
ing, and paid Houfe Rent for Captain Cock
and his Officers to remain in it a Month af
ter me, and knpwing the Scarcity of Money
among him and his Family, I gave him a Bag
>yith i coo Sfanijh Dollars for his Subfiflence
oil his Voyage to Eyrofe, on condition,
that when he was in a Capacity to pay me,
he would not forget to repay me. 1 gave
his firft Lieutenant jog . and the fecond Lieu
tenant fo of the fame Pieces, but without
1 rovifion of Repayment.

in the mofl emphatical Words he could ex-
prefs, imprecating Vengeance to purfue him
did not thankfully repay with good In-
tereft,
