Near Santo Domingo their ship went down, together with two Spanish vessels which they were fighting, and the death of his uncle augmented his hatred of the Spaniards. He joined the buccaneers of Tortugas, and soon was one of their chiefs. With his companions he attacked the coasts of Mexico, Honduras. the Spanish main, Cuba, and Potto Rico, taking forts and destroying cities, and never giving quarter, although he did not murder defeneeless persons in cold blood like other buccaneers.
