ABSTRACT

From there they came to the north coast of this island, where they were some days, with five ships. These were their own two ships and the one they built. One of the other two was a frigate they took which was carrying clothing from this island to that of Puerto Rico. In it they captured some persons. They did them no harm whatsoever. At the place called Guadianilla, which is in the said island of Puerto Rico, they wanted to exchange the frigate for horses and cattle. These were not forthcoming; which seeing, the Englishman set the prisoners ashore and went off with the frigate and its cargo. The other vessel was a Frenchman whom he took in crossing to this island.
