Though they crowded all the sail theycould lay on, there was no remedy but to engage us, and they soon saw theirinequality of force. We fired a gun for them to bring to; so they mannedout their boat, and sent to us with a flag of truce. We sent back the boat, but with this answer to the captain, that he had nothing to do but tostrike and bring his ship to an anchor under our stern, and come on boardus himself, when he should know our demands; but that, however, since hehad not yet put us to the... trouble of forcing him, which we saw we were ableto do, we assured them that the captain should return again in safety, andall his men, and that, supplying us with such things as we should demand, his ship should not be plundered. They went back with this message, and itwas some time after they were on board before they struck, which made usbegin to think they refused it; so we fired a shot, and in a few minutesmore we perceived their boat put off; and as soon as the boat put off theship struck and came to an anchor, as was directed.
