This was what I wish'd for，and immediately leaving Friday and the Captain's Mate to their Business，I took the rest with me，and crossing the Creek out of their Sight，we surpriz'd the two Men before they were aware；one of them lying on Shore，and the other being in the Boat；the Fellow on Shore，was between sleeping and waking，and going to start up，the Captain who was foremost，ran in upon him，and knock'd him down，and then call'd out to him in the Boat，to yield，or he was a dead Man.
There needed very few Arguments to perswade a single Man to yield，when he Saw five Men upon him，and his Comrade knock'd down；besides，this was it seems one of the three who were not so hearty in the Mutiny as the rest of the Crew，and therefore was easily perswaded，not only to yield，but afterwards to joyn very sincere with us.
In the mean time，Friday and the Captain's Mate so well manag'd their Business with the rest，that they drew them by hollowing and answering，from one Hill to another，and from one Wood to another，till they not only heartily tyr'd them but left them，where they were very Sure they could not reach back to the Boat，before it was dark；and indeed they were heartily tyr'd themselves also by the Time they came back to us.
We had nothing now to do，but to watch for them，in the Dark，and to fall upon them，so as to make sure work with them.
It was several Hours after Friday came back to me，before they came back to their Boat；and we could hear the foremost of them long before they came quite up，calling to those behind to come along，and could also hear them answer and complain，how lame and tyr'd they were，and not able to -come any faster，which was very welcome News to us.
At length they came up to the Boat；but 'tis impossible to express their Confusion，when they found the Boat fast a-Ground in the Creek，the Tide ebb'd out，and their two Men gone We could hear them call to one another in a most lamentable Manner，telling one another，they were gotten into an inchanted Island；that either there were Inhabitants in it，and they should all be murther'd，or else there were Devils and Spirits in it，and they should be all carry'd away，and devour'd.
