In this Voyage I visited my new Collony in the Island,saw my Successors the Spaniards,had the whole Story of their Lives,and of the Villains I left there;how at first they insulted the poor Spaniards,how they afterwards agreed,disagreed,united,separated,and how at last the Spaniards were oblig'd to use Violence with them,how they were subjected to the Spaniards,how honestly the Spaniards used them;a History,if it were entred into,as full of Variety and wonderful Accidents,as my own Part,particularly also as to their Battles with the Carribeans,who landed several times upon the Island,and as to the Improvement they made upon the Island it self,and how five of them made an Attempt upon the main Land,and brought away eleven Men and five Women Prisoners,by which,at my coming,I found about twenty young Children on the Island.
Here I stay'd about 20 Days,left them Supplies of all necessary things,and particularly of Arms,Powder,Shot,Cloaths,Tools,and two Workmen,which I brought from England with me,viz. a Carpenter and a Smith.
Besides this,I shar'd the Island into Parts with 'em,reserv'd to my self the Property of the whole,but gave them such Parts respectively as they agreed on;and having settled all things with them,and engaged them not to leave the Place,I left them there.
