After buying slaves at Bonny in April and May she beat about the coast in search of provisions but found barely enough for daily consumption until at the middle of August on the island of Amebo she was able to buy hogs, beans, cocoanuts and oranges.

Meanwhile bad food had brought dysentery, the surgeon, the cooper and a sailor had died, and the slave cargo was daily diminishing.

Five weeks of sailing then carried the ship across the Atlantic, where she put into Tobago to refill her leaking water casks.

Sailing thence she struck a reef near her destination at Curacao and was abandoned by her officers and crew.

Finally a sloop sent by the Curacao governor to remove the surviving slaves was captured by a privateer with them on board.
