Bernardin de St.Pierre, who visited Bourbon nearly fifty years later, repeats a tradition, how La Buze sat at table between the Viceroy and the Governor, and in an access of generosity remitted the Viceroy's ransom.

He further tells us that La Buze eventually settled down in the island, and was hung some years later.
Taylor, continuing his cruise in the _Cassandra_, took a fine Ostend ship, and carried her to St.Mary's.

While most of the pirates were on shore, the prisoners overpowered the few left to guard them, and carried off the ship.

We get a last glimpse of the _Cassandra_ in a private letter written to the Directors in May, 1723, from Jamaica, in which it is stated that the _Cassandra_ was lying at Portobello, while Taylor was engaged in negotiating with the captain of an English man-of-war for a pardon.

The negotiations apparently fell through, as Taylor was eventually given a commission by the Spaniards.
