Besides this they brought thirteen butts of wine (for we, that were now all become gentlemen, scorned to drink the ship's beer), also sixteen puncheons of brandy, with twelve barrels of raisins, and twenty chests of lemons ; all which were paid for in English goods ; and, ovef and above, the captain received six hundred pieces of eight in money. They would have come again, but we would stay no longer. From hence we sailed to the Canaries, and fipom thence onward to the West ijidies, where we co...mmitted some depre- dation upon the Spaniards for provisions, and took some prizes, but none of any great value, while I remained with them, which was not long at that time ; for, having taken a Spanish sloop on the Coast of Carthagena, my friend made a motion to me, that we should desire Captain Wilmot to put us into the sloop, with a proportion of arms and ammu- nition, and let us try what we could do ; she being much fitter for our business than the great ship, and a better sailer. This he consented to, and we appointed our rendezvous at Tobago, making an agreement, that whatever was taken by either of our ships, should be shared among the ship's com- pany of both ; eiL which we very punctually observed, and joined our ships again, about fifteen month's after, at the island of Tobago, as above.
