sufficient to pay their debts at Jamaica. Hereupon Captain Morgan propounded to
     them, they should think upon some other enterprize and pillage before they retur-
     ned home. But the Frenchmen not being able to agree with the English, seperated
     from their company, leaving Captain Morgan Alone with those of his own nation;
     notwithstanding all the persuasions he used to induce them to continue in his com-
     pany. Thus they parted with all external signs of friendship; Captain Morgan rei-
     terating his promises to them that he would see justice done upon the criminal.
     This he performed: for being arrived at Jamaica, he caused him to be hanged; which
     was all the satisfaction the French Pirates could expect.

     Captain Morgan resolves to attack and plunder the city of Porto Bello. To this ef-

     Some natons may think that the French having deserted Captain Morgan, the English

     advantages than he had found before. Thus Captain Morgan in a few days gathered a
     fleet of nine sail, between ships and great boats, wherein he had four hundred and
     threescore military men.
     After that all things were in a good posture of readiness, they put forth to sea,
     Captain Morgan imparting the design he had in his mind to nobody for that present.
     He only told them on several occasions, that he held as indubitable he should ma-
     ke a good fortune by that voyage, if strange occurrences altered not the course of
     his designs. They directed their course towards the continent, where they arrived
     in few days upon the coast of Costa Rica, with all their fleet entire. No sooner
