Note XXX‑17 — Chapter XXX · FURTHER PIRATICAL RAIDS. 1681-1687.
Reading edition
Lussan gives an account different from that of Dampier. He states that an engineer on board Swan's ship told him that she belonged to the duke of York and had been sent out to take a plan of those parts, and that Swan falling in with Davis was compelled to join him because 'il aima mieux ceder au Forban que d'en être pris.' Journal du Voy., 64-5.
