As to _Antonio_'s Deposition, it appear'd to be all Invention, and nothing true in it; and _Charles May_'s a Heap of sly Insinuations, drawn from a known Fact, which was this; the _Worcester_ departing from _Callequillon_ to _Carnipole_, was drove by Stress of Weather from near the Road of _Quillon_ to _Anjango_, where coming near the _Aureng Zeb_, _India_ Man, she saluted her with five Guns, which were the Guns the Surgeon heard; and the _Aureng Zeb_ came in along with the _Worcester_, and anchor'd at her Stern, which was the Ship taken Notice of by him.
By busking all Night is meant only beating to Windward, which she did in order to fetch _Quillon_, the Wind being contrary.
The _Worcester_ spar'd her Water to the _Aureng Zeb_, which occasioned their sending for more, and the wounded Men, which were proved to be no more than three in the Voyage; one was from a Fall in the Hold, another by fighting with Knives, between two _Dutch_ Men, and the other by cutting of Wood.
'Tis observable likewise, that _May_'s Evidence, which is brought to support _Antonio_'s, contradicted it in several Parts; for _Antonio_ swore the Fact to be done between _Callicut_ and _Tallecherry_, (where, by the Way, the Ship never was, as was own'd by the Surgeon, and prov'd by the Captain's and other Journals) and _May_ heard the Guns at _Callequillon_, which could not be less then 140 Miles asunder.
_Antonio_ makes the supposed Engagement hold three Days; according to _May_, the _Worcester_ was busking only one Night; all the rest of his Evidence is, _As he was inform'd_, _As he was told_, &c.
