They again followed me when I told them I had a Revolver and threatened to shoot them - this had the effect of driving them away in about 10 minutes. Afterwards when leaving the ship they threw the 3 Ammunition Guns overboard and spiked the 2 broadside guns on the forecastle - carried off all my clothing, some nautical Instruments, Charts and a quantity of provisions belonging to the ship and myself.
