enry Bolton of Antigua, Merchant, and the Master, and
three of the old men, and 15 or 16 of the men that belonged to the said
sloop, _St. Anthony_, and a Brigantine belonging to one Burt of Curacoa.

That the Narrator bought the said Sloop, _St. Anthony_, of Mr. Bolton,
for the Owners' account, after he had given directions to the said
Bolton to be careful of the Ship and lading and persuaded him to stay
three months till he returned. And he then made the best of his way
for New York where he heard the Earl of Bellomont was, who was
principally concerned in the _Adventure Galley_, and hearing his
Lordship was at Boston, came thither and has now been 45 days from the
said Ship. Further, the Narrator saith that the said ship was left at
St. Katharine on the southeast part of Hispaniola, about three Leagues
to leeward of the westerly end of Savano. Whilst he lay at Hispaniola
he traded with Mr. Henry Bolton of Antigua and Mr. William Burt of
Curacoa, Merchants, to the value of Eleven Thousand Two Hundred Pieces
of Eight, whereof he received the Sloop _Antonio_ at 3000 Ps. of eight,
and Four Thousand Two Hundred Ps. of Eight in Bills of Lading drawn by
Bolton and Burt upon Messers. Gabriel and Lemont, Merchants, in
Curacoa, made payable to Mr. Burt who went himself to Curacoa, and the
value of Four Thousand Pieces of Eight more in dust and bar gold.

Gardiner's Island, being their own property. The Narrator delivered a
chest of Goods, Vizt; Muslins, Latches, Romals, and flowered silk unto
Mr. Gardiner of Gardiner's Island to be kept there for him. _He put no
