Captain Morgan goes to the Isle of Hispaniola to equip a new fleet, with intent
     to pillage again upon the coasts of the West Indies.

     Captain Morgan perceived now that fortune favoured his arms, by giving good suc-
     cess to all his enterprizes, which occasioned him, as it is usual in human af-
     fairs, to spire to greater things, trusting she would always be constant to him.
     Such was the burning of Panama; wherein fortune failed not to assist him, in like
     manner as she had done before, crowning the event of his actions with victory, 
     howbeit she had led him thereto through thousands of difficulties. The history he-
     reof I shall now begin to relate, as being so very remarkable in all its circum-
     stances that peradventure nothing more deserving memory may occur to be read by 
     future ages.
     Not long after Captain Morgan arrived at Jamaica he found many of his chief offi-
     cers and soldiers reduced to their former state of indigence trough their immode-
     rate vices and debauchery. Hence they ceased not to importune him for new inva-

     to follow fortune while she called him, hereupon stopped the mouths of many of 
     the inhabitants of Jamaica. who were creditors to his men for large sums of money,
     with the hopes and promises he gave them, of greater achievements than ever, by a
     new expedition he was going about. This being done, he needed not give himself
     much trouble to levy men for this or any other enterprize, his name being now so
     famous through all those islands, that that alone would readily bring him more
     men than he could well employ. He undertook therefore to equip a new fleet of
     ships; for which purpose he assigned the south side of the Isle of Tortuga, as 
     a place of rendezvous. With this resolution, he wrote divers letters to all the 
     ancient and expert Pirates there inhabiting, as also to the Governor of the said 
     Isle, and to the planters and hunters of Hispaniola, giving them to understand 
     his intentions, and desiring their appearance at the said place, in case they in-
     tended to go with him. All these people had no sooner understood his designs than
     they flocked to the place assigned in huge numbers, with ships, canoes and boats,
