But neither could afford to part consortship, and they sailed in company on the 23d Decem- ber to attack Lavelia in the Bay of Panama. In this cruise, from the charts and books found in their prizes, they supplied the ignorance and deficiencies of the Indians and Spanish pilots whom they had as prisoners on board ; these drafts being found surer guides. Their object was in the first place to search for canoes, the want of boats being greatly felt, in rivers where the Spaniards had no trade with... the natives, nor settlements of any kind, as con- cealment was most important to the success of their opera- tions. In unfrequented rivers where boats might be found, the coast abounded from the equinoctial line to the Gulf of St. Michael. When five days out from La Plata, they made a sudden descent upon a village named Tomaco, where they captured a vessel laden with timber, in which was a Spanish knight with a crew of eight Spaniards, and also took what the Bucaniers valued much more, a canoe with twelve jars of good old wine.
