aboard of him, which he did; and as he paſſed along to the Cabin, he chanced to caſt his Eye down the Hold, and there ſaw Charles Vane at work; he immediately ſpoke to the Captain, ſaying, Do you know who you have got aboard here?
Why,
ſays he, I have ſhipp’d a Man at ſuch an Iſland, who was cast away in a trading Sloop, he ſeems to be a brisk Hand.
I tell you,
ſays Captain Holford, it is Vane the notorious Pyrate.
If it be him,
replies the other, I won’t keep him:
Why then,
ſays Holford, I’ll ſend and take him aboard, and ſurrender him at Jamaica.
Which being agreed to, Captain Holford, as ſoon as he returned to his Ship, ſent his Boat with his Mate armed, who coming to Vane, ſhewed him a Piſtol, and told him, He was his Priſoner;
which none oppoſing, he was brought aboard, and put in Irons; and when Captain Holford arrived at Jamaica, he delivered his old Acquaintance into the Hands of Juſtice; at which Place he was try’d, convicted, and executed, as was, ſome Time before, Vane’s Conſort, Robert Deal, brought thither by one of the Men of War.
