He was afterwards ill used at different times, and even so late as within three or four days of his return to port.

For just before the Alfred made the island of Lundy, he was struck by the captain, who cut his under lip into two.

He said that it had bled so much, that the captain expressed himself as if much alarmed; and having the expectation of arriving soon at Bristol, he had promised to make him amends, if he would hold his peace.
This he said he had hitherto done, but he had received no recompense.

In confirmation of his own usage, he desired me to examine his lip, which I had no occasion to do, having already perceived it, for the wound was apparently almost fresh.
I asked Dixon, if there was any person in Bristol, besides himself, who could confirm to me this his own treatment, as well as that of the other unfortunate man who was now dead.

He referred me to a seaman of the name of Matthew Pyke.
