' Upon this Letter, and efpecially that Part wherein
Goiv defires to commune with him, Mr. Fea believing
he might do fome Service in perfuading him to fubmit,
went over to Calf Mand, and went on Shore alone, or-
dering his Boat to lie in readinefs to take him in again,
but not one Man to ftir out of her: And calling to
Goiv with a Speaking Trumpet, defir'd him to come on
Shore, which the other readily did, but Mr. Fea before
lie ventur'd wifely forefaw, that whilll: he was alone
upon the Ifland, the Pyrates might unknown to him get
from the Ship by different Ways, and under Cover of
Shore might get behind and furround him, to prevent
which he fet a Man upon the Top of his own Houfe,
which was on the oppofite Shore, and over-look'd the
whole Ifland, and order'd him to make Signals with his
Flag, waving his Flag once for tvay Man that Jie faw
come on Shore, but if four pr more came on Shore,
then to keep the Flag waving continually, till he, Mr.
Fea Ihould retire.
This Precaution was very needful, for no fooner was
Mr, Fea advanc'd upon the Ifland, expefting Goiu to
come on Shore to meet him, but he faw a Fellow come
from the Ship with a White Flag, a Bottle and Glafs,
and a Bundle, then turning to his own Houfe, he faw
his Man make the Signals appointed, and that the Man
kept the Flag waving, upon which he immediately re-
tir'd to his Boat, and he was no fooner got into it, but
he faw five Fellows running under Shore, with lighted
Matches and Granadoes in their Hands to have inter-
cepted him, but feeing him out of their Reach, they
retir'd to the Ship.
After this, the Fellow with the white Flag came up,
and gave Mr. Fea two Letters, he would have left the
Bundle, which he faid was a Prefent to him, and the
Bottle, which he faid was a Bottle of Brandy, but
MI-. Fea would not take them, but told the Fellow his
Captain was a treacherous Villain, and he did not
dovibt but he fbould fee him hang'd; and as to him,
the Fellow, }je had a great Mind to flioot him; upon
which
