Eleven of these were killed, and the Simeroons took to their heels.

Oxenford and a few of his companions escaped, and made their way back towards the spot where they had left their ship.
News of what was going on had, however, been sent across from Panama to Nombre de Dios, and four barques from that port had put out, and had found and taken Oxenford's ship.

A band of a hundred and fifty men scoured the mountains, and into the hands of these Captain Oxenford and his companions fell.

All of them were executed on the spot; except Oxenford, the master, the pilot, and five boys.
These were taken to Panama, where the three men were executed, the lives of the five boys being spared.
This news was a sore blow to the lads, who had hoped much to be able to reach the ship, and to return to England in her.

The delay, however, was not long, for a few weeks afterwards came the news that another English ship was in those waters.
