 As he made his way through the Cape of Good Hope, putting into the Bay of Saint-Augustin for water, wood and other provisions, Halsey picked up several castaway sailors of the lost "Degrave", formerly under the command of Captain Young.Leaving St. Augustine, he sailed for the Red Sea in search of treasure ships which the Mughal Empire operated in the Indian Ocean.In late 1706, the "Charles" spotted a large Dutch ship which Halsey declined to attack, reluctant to offend a European power.
