She had several sorts of goods in her. She sold the most to the Whitemen upon Madagascar where she had careened. He set sail from St. Mary's for Madratan [? Mandritsara] on Madagascar to take in his rice and slaves.
(8) December 7th 1695.- Arrived the ship Susanna, Capt. Thos. Week Commander, burden about 100 tons, 10 guns, 70 men. They fitted out from Boston and Rhode Island and had been in the Red Seas, but made no voyage, by reason they missed the Moors fleet. They creened at St. Mary's and I sold them part of the goods bought of Mr. John Beckford out of the Charming Mary and spared them some cattle, but for the most part they were supplied by the negroes. They stayed at St. Mary's till the middle of April, where the Captain and Master and most of the men died. The rest of the men that were left after the sickness carried the ship to St. Augustin, where they left her and went in Capt. Hore's for the Red Sea.

Robert Glover and 24 of his men that was not willing to go a-privateering upon the coasts of India, to carry him away. The Company turned Captain Glover and these 24 men out of the ship, Captain Glover being part owner and Commander of the same and confined prisoner by her Company upon the Coast of Guinea by reason he would not consent to go about the Cape of Good Hope into the Red Sea, the ship very old and would hardly swim with them to St. Mary's. When they arrived there they applied themselves to me and I maintained them in my house with provision till June that shipping arrived for to carry them home.
