Hecontrived to defraud his crew as much as he could, and before he went tothe coast again he married an amiable young person, the daughter of aneighbour. He made a third and a fourth voyage with equal success, buton the third voyage he contrived to get rid of a portion of his Englishcrew, who were now becoming troublesome, by taking some Portuguesesailors out with him, and leaving the English on the coast, as if bymistake. Previous to the fourth voyage, it appears that he satisfiedthe remainder... of the English crew by producing accounts, and sharing outto them several hundred dollars previous to their departure for thecoast. He made a slight addition to his Portuguese sailors, not puttingtoo many on board, to avoid suspicion, and when on the coast of Africa, a portion of the English crew died, whether by poison or not is notknown, and the others he put on shore, seizing all their property, andthe dollars with which he had satisfied them. On his return from hisfourth voyage, having now nothing to fear from the partners in hisatrocious deed, having realised a large sum, he determined to remain onshore altogether, and live on his property with his mother and wife.
