When I had thus prepar'd my self，I took my Perspective-Glass，and went up to the Side of the Hill，to see what I could discover；and I found quickly，by my Glass，that there were one and twenty Savages，three Prisoners，and three Canoes；and that their whole Business seem'd to be the triumphant Banquet upon these three humane Bodies，（a barbarous Feast indeed） but nothing more than as I had observ'd was usual with them.
I observ'd also，that they were landed not where they had done，when Friday made his Escape；but nearer to my Creek，where the Shore was low，and where a thick Wood came close almost down to the Sea：This，with the Abhorrence of the inhumane Errand these Wretches came about，fill'd me with such Indignation，that I came down again to Friday，and told him，I was resolv'd to go down to them，and kill them all；and ask'd him，If he would stand by me？ He was now gotten over his Fright，and his Spirits being a little rais'd，with the Dram I had given him，he was Cry chearful，and told me，as before，he would die，when I bid die.
In this Fit of Fury，I took first and divided the Arms which I had charg'd，as before，between us；I gave Friday one Pistol to stick in his Girdle，and three Guns upon his Shoulder；and I took one Pistol，and the other three my self；and in this Posture we march'd out：I took a small Bottle of Rum in my Pocket，and gave Friday a large Bag，with more Powder and Bullet；and as to Orders，I charg'd him to keep close behind me，and not to stir，or shoot，or do any Thing，till I bid him；and in the mean Time，not to speak a Word：In this Posture I fetch'd a Compass to my Right-Hand，of near a Mile，as well to get over the Creek，as to get into the Wood；so that I might come within shoot of them，before I should be discover'd，which I had seen by my Glass，it was easy to do.
