By this time Huffey came to his assistance, who held down the Pnaemafter, while Mr. Wellftood walked forward with the arms to meet the other Frenchmen, whom they saw coming aft, who told them that he was now Master of the ship, and they his prisoners, and that if they would obey his orders he would use them well, but the firft that (hould refufe he would blow his brains out; they feeing he had arms pro ofed to do as he (hould command them if he would fava their lives, as did the others that were below; ha afterwards let them come up by degrees, till the whole 11 were on deck every day, and worked the fltip as Mr. Wellftood ordered them, till we arrived at Cork, the i.Sth of No vember; but so many as Mr. Wellftood thought proper were (hut down every night, and the Captain was cloiely confined in the cabin the whole time, but his arms were untied in a few liours. At length poor Mr. WelHtr.od was fatigued ahnoft to death, he not having his clothes off for the 13 days, nor did he (hut his eyes to deep for 8 days and nights together, nor but very little at any other time; however we completed our adventure, and sent the French men to Kinfale prison the said 18 th of November.” March 13.

Binns, whose papers were likewise seized, had only arrived in town four days since from Ireland, where he received information of the officers being in search of him in less than 48 hours after his brother and the other prisoners were committed to the Tower. Galloway had a lodging at Pimlico, but having spent the evening with Binns, in company with Mr. Evans, lie a greed to day the night, not being apprehensive the officers would again visit Mr. Evans’s house.
