Mr. Fea perceiving this from his own Houfe, imme-
diately took another Boat and went over to the Ifland
himfelf, and while he was expoftulating with his Men
for letting ScoUary go for Hoftage, Gcw return'd, and
Mr. Fea made no Hefita«ion, but told him in ihort he
was his Prifoner; at which Gonu flarting, faid it ought
not to be fo, iince there was a Hoftage deliver'd for
