As to _Antonio_'s Deposition, it appear'd to be all Invention, and nothing true in it; and _Charles May_'s a Heap of sly Insinuations, drawn from a known Fact, which was this; the _Worcester_ departing from _Callequillon_ to _Carnipole_, was drove by Stress of Weather from near the Road of _Quillon_ to _Anjango_, where coming near the _Aureng Zeb_, _India_ Man, she saluted her with five Guns, which were the Guns the Surgeon heard; and the _Aureng Zeb_ came in along with the _Worcester_, and anchor'd at her Stern, which was the Ship taken Notice of by him.
By busking all Night is meant only beating to Windward, which she did in order to fetch _Quillon_, the Wind being contrary.
The _Worcester_ spar'd her Water to the _Aureng Zeb_, which occasioned their sending for more, and the wounded Men, which were proved to be no more than three in the Voyage; one was from a Fall in the Hold, another by fighting with Knives, between two _Dutch_ Men, and the other by cutting of Wood.
'Tis observable likewise, that _May_'s Evidence, which is brought to support _Antonio_'s, contradicted it in several Parts; for _Antonio_ swore the Fact to be done between _Callicut_ and _Tallecherry_, (where, by the Way, the Ship never was, as was own'd by the Surgeon, and prov'd by the Captain's and other Journals) and _May_ heard the Guns at _Callequillon_, which could not be less then 140 Miles asunder.
_Antonio_ makes the supposed Engagement hold three Days; according to _May_, the _Worcester_ was busking only one Night; all the rest of his Evidence is, _As he was inform'd_, _As he was told_, &c.

Chapter 3 of The History of the Pyrates. Vol. II. by Daniel Defoe holds 330 sentences, grouped into 66 reading sections of at most 5 sentences.

Every word can be tapped for its pronunciation and dictionary entry.

What does chapter 3 of The History of the Pyrates. Vol. II. contain?

Chapter 3 holds 330 sentences of The History of the Pyrates. Vol. II., unabridged, divided into 66 reading sections.

This page carries chapter 3 of The History of the Pyrates. Vol. II. by Daniel Defoe exactly as it stands in the source edition, without abridgement. It runs to 330 sentences, grouped into 66 sections of at most 5 sentences so that a reader can take the chapter in steady, finishable pieces. The chapter also stores a coverage record mapping every one of its sentences to a part of the work, which is how the edition demonstrates that no line was dropped.

How do I study chapter 3 of The History of the Pyrates. Vol. II.?

Work through the 66 sections in order, replaying any sentence and tapping unfamiliar words for their entries.

Each of the 66 sections in this chapter is short enough to read once, hear once, and then re-read with the vocabulary in view. Tapping a word plays it alone and opens its dictionary entry with IPA, part of speech and meaning, so the reader is never forced to guess a pronunciation from spelling. Working section by section keeps a long chapter from becoming an undifferentiated wall of text, which is the usual reason a reader abandons a work of this period.

Can chapter 3 be read aloud to me?

Yes — every sentence and every individual word in chapter 3 can be played aloud in United States English.

Audio covers the whole chapter: any sentence can be played, and any single word within it can be played on its own. The voice uses United States English. For a work of this period that matters, because spelling is an unreliable guide to pronunciation for vocabulary that has fallen out of daily use, and a learner who guesses wrong tends to keep the error. Hearing the word in its own sentence, and then alone, settles it.
