One Wonterloss, Who Was The
Only Man That Made His Escape, Went Immediately Back To The
Conspirators, Put Himself At
Their head, and came the next day to
attack Weybhays, but met with the same fate as before--that is
To
say, he and the villains that were with him were soundly beat.
Things were in this situation when Captain Pelsart arrived in the
Sardam frigate. He sailed up to the wreck, and saw with great joy a
cloud of smoke ascending from one of the islands, by which he knew
that all his people were not dead. He came immediately to an
anchor, and having ordered some wine and provisions to be put into
the skiff, resolved to go in person with these refreshments to one
of these islands. He had hardly quitted the ship before he was
boarded by a boat from the island to which he was going. There were
four men in the boat, of whom Weybhays was one, who immediately ran
to the captain, told him what had happened, and begged him to return
to his ship immediately, for that the conspirators intended to
surprise her, that they had already murdered 125 persons, and that
they had attacked him and his company that very morning with two
shallops.
While they were talking the two shallops appeared; upon which the
captain rowed to his ship as fast as he could, and was hardly got on
board before they arrived at the ship's side. The captain was
surprised to see men in red coats laced with gold and silver, with
arms in their hands.
