سام کی of the Portuguese pointed out who had bought a portion of the loncha's cargo from the Pirates, and as he wished him taken in custody accordingly. I did so.
At Krtow Bay I pulled abreast with Dennison's erfe, a Boatswain and crossed the bar where the entrance was nearly a mile that my boat was stove against the rocks. The creek then widened and I discovered about 100 small boats of all descriptions, and the Portuguese informed me that these boats came out into the Bay and purchased their salt from the Pirates, who had taken their vessels.
At the same place a Fishing Boat came alongside and wished to point out where Pirate Junks were, but on reaching the place indicated, only one Junk could be found which was almost entirely cleared out, the natives of the neighbourhood reporting that three other Pirate vessels had left shortly before our arrival, this Junk having some sail covers and other articles on board belonging to the Portuguese.
