Mackshane's malice I am taken up and imprisoned for a spy Morgan meets with the same fate Thompson is tampered with to turn evidence against us disdains the proposal, and is maltreated for his integrity Morgan is released to assist the Surgeon during an engagement with some French ships-of-war I remain fettered on the poop, exposed to the enemy's shot, and grow delirious with fear am comforted after the battle by Morgan, who speaks freely of the captain, is overheard by the sentinel, who informs against him, and again imprisoned Thompson grows desperate, and, notwithstanding the remonstrances of Morgan and me, goes overboard in the night
Our Land Forces being disembarked, erect a fascine battery-our ship is ordered, with four more, to batter the port of Bocca Chica Mackshane's cowardice-the Chaplain's frenzy honest Rattlin loses one hand his heroism and reflections on the battle Crampley's behaviour to me during the heat of the Fight
Meanwhile, a quarrel happening between the two modern Greeks, the one, to be revenged of the other, came and discovered to us the mystery of Mackshane's dialogue, as I have explained it above.
When I informed him of Mackshane's condition, he seemed at first to exult over his distress; but, after a little recollection, said, "Well, he has paid for his malice; I forgife him, and may Cot forgife him likewise."
The keys of our chests and lockers being sent to us by the doctor, we detained the messenger until we had examined the contents; and my fellow-mate, finding all his Cheshire cheese consumed to a crust, his brandy exhausted, and his onions gone, was seized with a fit of choler, which he discharged on Mackshane's man in oaths and execrations, threatening to prosecute him as a thief.
"But there's mutiny, by G d, and that's death by the articles of war!" cried Oakum: "In the meantime, let the witnesses be called." Hereupon Mackshane's servant appeared, and the boy of our mess, whom they had seduced and tutored for the purpose.
I discover a subornation against me, by means of a quarrel between two of the evidences; in consequence of which I am set at liberty, and prevail upon Morgan to accept of his freedom on the same terms Mackshane's malice we arrive at Jamaica, from whence in a short time we beat up to Hispaniola, in conjunction with the West India squadron we take in water, sail again, and arrive at Carthagena Reflections on our conduct there
