from us, and so we put to the Shoar,under the little House, for some Suc-cour. Here we let an Anchor fall,thinking to ride there all Night;Which we had no sooner done, butwe saw another Ship bear upon us,whereupon we were fore frighted,and so forced to let our Anchor flip,and set Sail to get better Succour,the Enemy, at the fame Time, be-ing weary of our Company, hoistingout their Boats to stop their Leaks.We for our Parts, put into the Road,between the two little Forts, wherewe lay five Days, mending theBruises and Leaks of our Ship. TheLosses we received in the aforesaidFights were six Men and one Boy,which were killed outright, and therewere hurt eight Men and one Boymore: But the Lord knows whatDamage we put them to, and whatNumber we flew in their Ships.

The Master of our Ship being atthe Helm, was shot twice betwixtthe Legs: And the Surgeon dressingthe Wounds of one of our Men, aBall of Wild-fire fell into his Bason,which he suddenly cast into the Sea,(?) otherwise it had greatly endanger-ed us. The Turks were aboard andsounded their Trumpets, notwith-standing which, our Men assaultedthem so fiercely, that they forcedthem off, and the Boatswain (seingthem fly,) most undauntedly, witha Whistle, dared them to the Skir-mish, if so they durst. The Cap-tains of three of their Ships wereEnglishmen , who took Part with theTurks , thus to rob and spoil uponthe Ocean, their Names were W'al-svngham, Kelley and Sampson.

Upon the thirteenth of January ,there came aboard certain Spaniards,in the Morning betimes, to witnesswhat Hurts we had received, whoseing some of our Men dead went a-shoar with us, and shewed us wherewe might bury them: But as wewere busy in making their Graves,and covering the Bodies with Earth,there came sayling by a FlemmifhShip of twelve score Tuns, which

tf had in her about five or six Thdvi-" sand Pounds. She had been chased" by those Men os War, that had" fought with us before, and therefore," they brought in a Long-boat, all the" Mony, to the Shoar, and left in the" Ship only a few Men and Boys; Who" afterwards, within two Days, brought" the said Ship into the Road, not any“ Thing at all indanger’d. Gon be" praised.

Dp on the fifteenth of the sameMonth, when we came from the bury-ing of our Men, and had rested our-selves in our Ship, about two or threeHours, as Go x> would have it, the Windbegan to blow a strong Gale, and bylittle and little grew to a terrible Tem-pest, thro’ which, from Sunday Night,till Friday in the Evening, we lay insuch Extremity of Weather, as Rain,Wind, Lightning and Thunder, thatwe should never have got

we

thought

clear from the Road where we lay.Dur-ing this Storm and Tempests there diedone of our Men, that had been hurt inthe Fight, whose Body we cast over-board, into the Sea, without any otherBurial, and so when the Wind and Seawas a little calmed, we set up Sail andcame forward. Within three Days after,buried three Men more in the Sea,

we

and the sameAfternoon we arrived in theRoad of Callerp, and lay at Anchor,where again searching our Ship, wefound it rent, and'torn in four severalPlaces ; One in the Gun-Room, anotherbetween the Decks, the third in theSketeridge, and the fourth in the Ma-sters Round-house, so in Callery wemended our Ship, and hired certainMen there to help us to stop her Leaks.Having all Things most fitting for ourVoyage homewards, upon the thirtiethof January, we committed our Fortuneagain unto the Sea and so leaving Galle-ry, we came forward with a Frenchman,w ho was bound to a Place called Or a*/one, about thirty Leagues from Callery ,where after two Days we left his Compa-ny, being the first of February, and af-ter that putting forwards, still towardsEngland , we arrived safe in the Thames .
