Affidavits from others in regard to the above affair are also recorded.
He seemed to have been particularly unfortunate in meeting with the French, for in March (13th) 1707-8, while on a voyage from "New England being bound for Antegua or other the Leeward Islands in the West Indies," in the "Ship ffriendlhip" which he commanded, he came upon another French privateer, about twelve leagues to the windward of Antigua.
