^{But the misery of the poor passengers in the cabin was of another nature, and far beyond the rest; for as, first, the ship's company had so littlefor themselves, it was but too true that they had at first kept them verylow, and at last totally neglected them: so that for six or seven days itmight be said they had really no food at all, and for several days beforevery little. The poor mother, who, as the men reported, was a woman ofsense and good breeding, had spared all she could so affectionately forher son, that at last she entirely sank under it; and when the mate ofour ship went in, she sat upon the floor on deck, with her back upagainst the sides, between two chairs, which were lashed fast, and herhead sunk between her shoulders like a corpse, though not quite dead. Mymate said all he could to revive and encourage her, and with a spoon putsome broth into her mouth. She opened her lips, and lifted up one hand, but could not speak: yet she understood what he said, and made signs tohim, intimating, that it was too late for her, but pointed to her child, as if she would have said they should take care of him. However, themate, who was exceedingly moved at the sight, endeavoured to get some ofthe broth into her mouth, and, as he said, got two or three spoonfulsdownthough I question whether he could be sure of it or not; but it wastoo late, and she died the same night.

As I therefore kept the mate, whom we then called captain, on board withhis men, to refresh them, so I also forgot not the starving crew thatwere left on board, but ordered my own boat to go on board the ship, and, with my mate and twelve men, to carry them a sack of bread, and four orfive pieces of beef to boil. Our surgeon charged the men to cause themeat to be boiled while they stayed, and to keep guard in the cookroom, to prevent the men taking it to eat raw, or taking it out of the potbefore it was well boiled, and then to give every man but a very littleat a time: and by this caution he preserved the men, who would otherwisehave killed themselves with that very food that was given them on purposeto save their lives.

The youth, who was preserved at the price of his most affectionatemother's life, was not so far gone; yet he lay in a cabin bed, as onestretched out, with hardly any life left in him. He had a piece of anold glove in his mouth, having eaten up the rest of it; however, beingyoung, and having more strength than his mother, the mate got somethingdown his throat, and he began sensibly to revive; though by giving him, some time after, but two or three spoonfuls extraordinary, he was verysick, and brought it up again.

But the next care was the poor maid: she lay all along upon the deck, hard by her mistress, and just like one that had fallen down in a fit ofapoplexy, and struggled for life. Her limbs were distorted; one of herhands was clasped round the frame of the chair, and she gripped it sohard that we could not easily make her let it go; her other arm lay overher head, and her feet lay both together, set fast against the frame ofthe cabin table: in short, she lay just like one in the agonies of death, and yet she was alive too. The poor creature was not only starved withhunger, and terrified with the thoughts of death, but, as the men told usafterwards, was brokenhearted for her mistress, whom she saw dying fortwo or three days before, and whom she loved most tenderly. We knew notwhat to do with this poor ; for when our surgeon, who was a man ofvery great knowledge and experience, had, with great application, recovered her as to life, he had her upon his hands still; for she waslittle less than distracted for a considerable time after.

Whoever shall read these memorandums must be desired to consider thatvisits at sea are not like a journey into the country, where sometimespeople stay a week or a fortnight at a place. Our business was torelieve this distressed ship's crew, but not lie by for them; and thoughthey were willing to steer the same course with us for some days, yet wecould carry no sail to keep pace with a ship that had no masts. However, as their captain begged of us to help him to set up a maintopmast, and akind of a topmast to his jury foremast, we did, as it were, lie by himfor three or four days; and then, having given him five barrels of beef, a barrel of pork, two hogsheads of biscuit, and a proportion of peas, flour, and what other things we could spare; and taking three casks ofsugar, some rum, and some pieces of eight from them for satisfaction, weleft them, taking on board with us, at their own earnest request, theyouth and the maid, and all their goods.

The young lad was about seventeen years of age, a pretty, wellbred, modest, and sensible youth, greatly dejected with the loss of his mother, and also at having lost his father but a few months before, at Barbadoes. He begged of the surgeon to speak to me to take him out of the ship; forhe said the cruel fellows had murdered his mother: and indeed so theyhad, that is to say, passively; for they might have spared a smallsustenance to the poor helpless widow, though it had been but just enoughto keep her alive; but hunger knows no friend, no relation, no justice, no right, and therefore is remorseless, and capable of no compassion.}

^{The surgeon told him how far we were going, and that it would carry himaway from all his friends, and put him, perhaps, in as bad circumstancesalmost as those we found him in, that is to say, starving in the world. He said it mattered not whither he went, if he was but delivered from theterrible crew that he was among; that the captain (by which he meant me, for he could know nothing of my nephew) had saved his life, and he wassure would not hurt him; and as for the maid, he was sure, if she came toherself, she would be very thankful for it, let us carry them where wewould. The surgeon represented the case so affectionately to me that Iyielded, and we took them both on board, with all their goods, excepteleven hogsheads of sugar, which could not be removed or come at; and asthe youth had a bill of lading for them, I made his commander sign awriting, obliging himself to go, as soon as he came to Bristol, to oneMr. Rogers, a merchant there, to whom the youth said he was related, andto deliver a letter which I wrote to him, and all the goods he hadbelonging to the deceased widow; which, I suppose, was not done, for Icould never learn that the ship came to Bristol, but was, as is mostprobable, lost at sea, being in so disabled a condition, and so far fromany land, that I am of opinion the first storm she met with afterwardsshe might founder, for she was leaky, and had damage in her hold when wemet with her.

I was now in the latitude of 19 degrees 32 minutes, and had hitherto atolerable voyage as to weather, though at first the winds had beencontrary. I shall trouble nobody with the little incidents of wind, weather, currents, &c. , on the rest of our voyage; but to shorten mystory, shall observe that I came to my old habitation, the island, on the10th of April 1695. It was with no small difficulty that I found theplace; for as I came to it and went to it before on the south and eastside of the island, coming from the Brazils, so now, coming in betweenthe main and the island, and having no chart for the coast, nor anylandmark, I did not know it when I saw it, or, know whether I saw it ornot. We beat about a great while, and went on shore on several islandsin the mouth of the great river Orinoco, but none for my purpose; onlythis I learned by my coasting the shore, that I was under one greatmistake before, viz. That the continent which I thought I saw from theisland I lived in was really no continent, but a long island, or rather aridge of islands, reaching from one to the other side of the extendedmouth of that great river; and that the savages who came to my islandwere not properly those which we call Caribbees, but islanders, and otherbarbarians of the same kind, who inhabited nearer to our side than therest.

In short, I visited several of these islands to no purpose; some I foundwere inhabited, and some were not; on one of them I found some Spaniards, and thought they had lived there; but speaking with them, found they hada sloop lying in a small creek hard by, and came thither to make salt, and to catch some pearlmussels if they could; but that they belonged tothe Isle de Trinidad, which lay farther north, in the latitude of 10 and11 degrees.

Thus coasting from one island to another, sometimes with the ship, sometimes with the Frenchman's shallop, which we had found a convenientboat, and therefore kept her with their very good will, at length I camefair on the south side of my island, and presently knew the verycountenance of the place: so I brought the ship safe to an anchor, broadside with the little creek where my old habitation was. As soon asI saw the place I called for Friday, and asked him if he knew where hewas He looked about a little, and presently clapping his hands, cried, Oh yes, Oh there, Oh yes, Oh there pointing to our old habitation, andfell dancing and capering like a mad fellow; and I had much ado to keephim from jumping into the sea to swim ashore to the place.}
