The threeIndian slaves carried them a large quantity of bread, some riceboiled up to cakes and dried in the sun, and three live goats; andthey were ordered to go to the side of a hill, where they sat down,ate their provisions very thankfully, and were the most faithfulfellows to their words that could be thought of; for, except whenthey came to beg victuals and directions, they never came out oftheir bounds; and there they lived when I came to the island and Iwent to see them. They had taught them both to plant corn, makebread, breed tame goats, and milk them: they wanted nothing butwives in order for them soon to become a nation. They wereconfined to a neck of land, surrounded with high rocks behind the
But this mutiny had brought us to an anchor for that night; thewind also falling calm next morning, we found that our two men whohad been laid in irons had stolen each of them a musket and someother weapons (what powder or shot they had we knew not), and hadtaken the ship's pinnace, which was not yet hauled up, and run awaywith her to their companions in roguery on shore. As soon as wefound this, I ordered the long-boat on shore, with twelve men andthe mate, and away they went to seek the rogues; but they couldneither find them nor any of the rest, for they all fled into thewoods when they saw the boat coming on shore. The mate was onceresolved, in justice to their roguery, to have destroyed theirplantations, burned all their household stuff and furniture, andleft them to shift without it; but having no orders, he let it allalone, left everything as he found it, and bringing the pinnaceway, came on board without them. These two men made their numberfive; but the other three villains were so much more wic泪痕剑在线观看 This the young woman did afterwards effectually, so that there wasno priestcraft used here; and I should have thought it one of themost unjustifiable frauds in the world to have had it so. But theeffect upon Will Atkins is really not to be expressed; and there,we may be sure, was no delusion. Sure no man was ever morethankful in the world for anything of its kind than he was for theBible, nor, I believe, never any man was glad of a Bible from abetter principle; and though he had been a most profligatecreature, headstrong, furious, and desperately wicked, yet this manis a standing rule to us all for the well instructing children,viz. that parents should never give over to teach and instruct, norever despair of the success of their endeavours, let the childrenbe ever so refractory, or to appearance insensible to instruction;for if ever God in His providence touches the conscience of such,the force of their education turns upon them, and the earlyinstruction of parents is not lost, though it may have been ma

Then the Englishmen asked the Spaniards if they designed to takeany of them? But every one of them answered "No." Some of themsaid they had wives in Spain, and the others did not like womenthat were not Christians; and all together declared that they wouldnot touch one of them, which was an instance of such virtue as Ihave not met with in all my travels. On the other hand, the fiveEnglishmen took them every one a wife, that is to say, a temporarywife; and so they set up a new form of living; for the Spaniardsand Friday's father lived in my old habitation, which they hadenlarged exceedingly within. The three servants which were takenin the last battle of the savages lived with them; and thesecarried on the main part of the colony, supplied all the rest withfood, and assisted them in anything as they could, or as they foundnecessity required.
All this while they fired not a gun, because they would not wakenthe people faster than they could master them; but the fire beganto waken them fast enough, and our fellows were glad to keep alittle together in bodies; for the fire grew so raging, all thehouses being made of light combustible stuff, that they couldhardly bear the street between them. Their business was to followthe fire, for the surer execution: as fast as the fire eitherforced the people out of those houses which were burning, orfrightened them out of others, our people were ready at their doorsto knock them on the head, still calling and hallooing one toanother to remember Tom Jeffry.

"Sir," says he, "I find you are in some disorder in your thoughtsat my talk: pray be pleased to go which way you think fit, anddepend upon it, I'll do you all the service I can." Upon this wefell into further discourse, in which, to my alarm and amazement,he spoke of the villainous doings of a certain pirate ship that hadlong been the talk of mariners in those seas; no other, in a word,than the very ship he was now on board of, and which we had sounluckily purchased. I presently saw there was no help for it butto tell him the plain truth, and explain all the danger and troublewe had suffered through this misadventure, and, in particular, ourearnest wish to be speedily quit of the ship altogether; for whichreason we had resolved to carry her up to Nankin.
We stayed by it a quarter of an hour or thereabouts, till thepowder in the eyes and mouth and ears of the idol blew up, and, aswe could perceive, had split altogether; and in a word, till we sawit burned so that it would soon be quite consumed. We then beganto think of going away; but the Scotsman said, "No, we must not go,for these poor deluded wretches will all throw themselves into thefire, and burn themselves with the idol." So we resolved to staytill the forage has burned down too, and then came away and leftthem. After the feat was performed, we appeared in the morningamong our fellow-travellers, exceedingly busy in getting ready forour journey; nor could any man suppose that we had been anywherebut in our beds.
