Cabbage made her a little Lady ■ who though {lie were of
fuch a low condition, was not without a good proportion
of natural Beauty.
The Fleet being ready to depart, there was a Cabin built
on purpoie for this Niece, and the Company having pre~
fented her with feveral pieces of TifTue and Silks, recom
mended her to C. the Viceadmiral’s care.- This Cap
tain had been feveral times at the Indies before, and was
both rich and a Batchelour : fo that when the Ship was Out
at Sea, he fail’d not to fliew all the refpeits imaginable to
this Niece. Now this young Virgin not being accuflomed
to the Sea, upon the lean: guft of Wind flie was half dead 5
and all that time the Captain would not ftir from her Bed-
fide, for fear any Accident fhould befall her. And as he
was thus diligent not to ftir from her Bed-fide in fowl, ’tis

her Friends in feveral little Barques came out to meet Ma
dam Niece, and were not a little furprized to find her to be
a perfon fo well clad and handfom withall, without any
appearance of what fihe had been before.
A Coach and fix Horfes, and fix Halberdiers, a Troop
ofFIorfe, and a Company of Foot, waited upon thefhoar
for Madam General. And thus was Madam Niece conduc
ed to the Fort with great pomp, and as kindly received by
Monfieur General. Some few days after feyeral of the GaL
lants of BataVta came picquiering to the Houfe to fee Ma
dam Niece ; and fo it was, that all being fmitten, every one
deli red her in Marriage *. but both Uncle and Aunt were
deaf to all their Suits, as having defign’d her to a young rich
Merchant, who was then out ot the way. C. laugh d
in his fleeve at the buftle that was made, and ftill continued
his former refpeCs and double Diligences, which were the
more willingly permitted him in regard of fhe gieat care of
