[Frederic Shonnard & W.W. Spooner (1900)] This was " upon pretence of a voyage to Virginia, but really to cruize at sea, in order to meet the said vessel from Madagascar. Upon meeting of that vessel great parcells of East India goods wore by direction of the said Adolphus Philipse taken out of her, and put aboard the said sloop ' Frederick,' with which, by his order, she sayled to Delaware Bay and lay there privately. He in ye meanwhile returned in the Madagascar ship (having then only negroes on board) to New York, and after some days came again to the ' Frederick ' sloop in Delaware Bay. There the said sloop deliv-ered some small part of East India cargo, and from thence, by his direction, sayled with the rest (North about Scotland) to Hamburgh, where some seizure5 having been made by Sir Paul Ricaut (His Maj-esty's Resident there), and the men sent hither (London), they have each of them severally made depositions relating to that matter be-fore Sir Charles Hedges, Judge of the Admirality. We observe that Cornelius Jacobs (the master) appears to be the same Capn. Jacobs who is named to have traded with the Pirates." Relations with the pirates on the part of Frederick and Adolph Philipse being thus established to the satisfaction of the authorities in England, both father and son fell under the disfavor of the government.
