In June 1716, the French pirate Alonzo Batilla captured HMS Drake after it ran aground in a narrow canyon in Cozumel, New Spain, commandeering it to to tail a Portuguese merchant ship undetected under a false flag. However, he had to abandon his chase when the pirate hunter Alvaro attacked in a Man O' War seeking a bounty on Batilla's quartermaster Jumao, a former plantation slave who had killed his owner and escaped.
