The villains, as soon as they saw them land, lost all their courage, and fled from them.

They surrendered without a blow, and were put in irons with the rest.

The captain's first care was to recover the jewels which Cornelis had dispersed among his accomplices: they were, however, all of them soon found, except a gold chain and a diamond ring; the latter was also found at last, but the former could not be recovered.
They went next to examine the wreck, which they found staved into an hundred pieces; the keel lay on a bank of sand on one side, the fore part of the vessel stuck fast on a rock, and the rest of her lay here and there as the pieces had been driven by the waves, so that Captain Pelsart had very little hopes of saving any of the merchandise.

One of the people belonging to Weybhays's company told him that one fair day, which was the only one they had in a month, as he was fishing near the wreck, he had struck the pole in his hand against one of the chests of silver, which revived the captain a little, as it gave him reason to expect that something might still be saved.

They spent all the 19th in examining the rest of the prisoners, and in confronting them with those who escaped from the massacre.
On the 20th they sent several kinds of refreshments to Weybhays's company, and carried a good quantity of water from the isle.
