The trade with Cambay, Malabar, Ceylon, Koromandel, and Queda, had scarcely begun, yet was already most promising.

The _Adventure_ Galley was now so old and leaky, that they were forced to keep two pumps continually going, wherefore _Kid_ shifted all the guns and tackle out of her into the _Queda_ Merchant, intending her for his Man-of-War; and as he had divided the Money before, he now made a division of the remainder of the cargo: Soon after which, the greatest part of the company left him, some going on board Captain _Culliford_, and others absconding in the Country, so that he had not above forty men left.
