A very few days were sufficient to refit the Rover, and to store and provision her ready for sea. This time, however, she was ordered to cruise along the coasts of San Domingo and Porto Rico, towards the Leeward Islands. At length she ran farther south, and came off the harbour of Point-a-Pitre, in the Island of Guadaloupe.
The boatswain had no difficulty in obtaining all the volunteers he required for his enterprise, and the rest of the day was spent in making the necessary preparations. Towards evening the brig once more stood back in the direction of Point-a-Pitre. She reached the mouth of the harbour about midnight, when True Blue and his bold followers shoved off.
We had made a thorough inspection of all the neighbouring islands, beginning with Mariegalante, and had looked into Point-a-Pitre Harbour on the Grand Terre without making any discovery, when, one evening, while beating up under the south side of Desirade, we espied a schooner at anchor near the shore and directly under the guns of a fort.
