being
Friday
,
the
English
and
Dutch
Ships
being
in
the
Road
of
Gombroone
,
there
arriued
a
small
Frigot
belonging
to
a
place
neere
Chowle
,
(
which
is
in
warre
with
the
Portugals
)
she
came
in
betweene
the
Maine
and
Ormus
,
to
whom
the
Generall
of
the
English
,
Capt.
Iohn
Weddell
,
sent
Mr.
Andrew
Euans
,
in
a
little
Boat
called
a
Gellywat
,
to
know
from
whence
he
came
,
and
whether
hee
could
giue
vs
any
intelligence
of
the
Portugall
Armado
;
his
answer
was
,
that
hee
came
from
a
place
some
eight
or
ten
leagues
to
the
Southwards
of
Chowle
,
laden
with
Pepper
and
other
Merchandise
,
and
withall
he
said
,
that
on
the
Saturday
before
,
being
the
24.
of
Ianuary
,
he
was
of
the
Cape
called
Cape
Gordell
,
halfe
way
betwixt
the
Coast
of
India
,
and
Cape
Iaques
,
where
to
Seaward
of
him
hee
saw
eight
great
Gallions
,
and
certaine
Frigots
,
which
Frigots
gaue
him
chase
,
but
he
kept
himselfe
so
neere
the
shore
,
that
they
could
not
fetch
him
vp
;
and
this
was
the
first
information
of
the
neere
approach
of
the
Enemie
.
The
31.
of
Ianuary
in
the
morning
,
the
English
and
Dutch
Fleet
heard
three
peeces
of
Ordnance
goe
off
from
Kishme
Castle
,
(
a
strong
hold
,
and
in
warre
with
the
Portugals
)
the
Captaine
of
the
said
Castle
hauing
before
promised
the
Generall
(
Captaine
Weddell
)
that
if
he
descried
any
Crosse
Sailes
or
Ships
in
sight
of
the
Castle
,
that
then
he
would
discharge
those
Peeces
as
a
warning
vnto
him
,
which
accordingly
he
did
.
Wherupon
a
man
was
sent
vp
to
the
top-mast
head
in
the
English
Admirall
,
to
looke
abroad
,
who
being
vp
,
presently
cried

with
many
Frigots
in
their
company
,
then
the
Generall
commanded
the
Gunner
to
shoot
off
a
Peece
of
Ordnance
,
to
giue
warning
to
all
the
Fleet
to
put
themselues
in
readinesse
for
the
entertainment
of
the
Enemy
,
putting
also
the
bloudy
Colours
out
,
as
likewise
the
Dutch
Admirall
did
the
like
,
with
all
speed
getting
their
men
and
boats
from
the
shore
,
weighing
their
Anchors
of
all
hands
,
and
getting
vnder
saile
with
all
possible
celerity
,
with
courage
and
resolution
they
stood
towards
the
Enemy
,
(
whose
drift
was
to
haue
taken
the
English
and
Dutch
at
Anchor
vnprepared
)
but
their
expectations
were
frustrate
.
Towards
8.
of
the
clocke
at
night
it
fell
calme
,
so
that
our
ships
came
to
an
Anchor
,
when
the
Commander
of
the
Dutch
Fleet
(
named
Albert
Becker
)
sent
his
Master
of
his
ship
,
accompanied
with
some
other
Merchants
,
and
Masters
aboord
the
Royall
Iames
,
informing
Captain
Weddell
that
their
Commander
had
sent
them
to
see
how
he
did
,
and
what
hee
thought
the
ships
and
Frigots
to
be
that
they
had
descried
.
The
Commander
Weddell
answered
,
that
they
could
be
no
other
than
the
Portugall
Armado
,
which
had
beene
two
yeares
preparing
to
meet
with
the
English
and
Dutch
,
and
that
now
they
were
come
in
search
of
them
,
from
Goa
,
vnto
this
place
,
hoping
first
to
conquer
both
our
and
their
Nation
,
and
afterwards
to
fall
to
worke
vpon
Ormus
,
Kishme
,
and
Gombroone
,
to
destroy
our
setled
trade
,
and
to
extirpe
and
root
vs
out
with
all
hostility
and
dishonour
.
Then
the
Dutch
demanded
Captaine
Weddells
Resolution
,
concerning
so
common
and
open
an
Enemie
,
he
told
them
that
his
resolution
was
,
for
the
glory
of
God
,
the
honour
of
his
Nation
,
the
profit
of
worthy
Imployers
,
&
the
safeguard
of
liues
,
ships
,
&
goods
,
he
would
fight
it
out
as
long
as
a
man
was
liuing
in
his
ship
to
weare
a
Sword
,
and
that
he
doubted
not
but
the
other
three
ships
vnder
his
Command
were
all
of
the
same
minde
and
courage
;
to
whom
the
Dutchmen
answered
,
that
they
were
of
the
like
resolution
,
and
would
sticke
as
close
to
the
English
as
their
shirts
to
their
backs
,
and
so
in
friendly
manner
each
tooke
leaue
of
other
for
that
night
.
The
first
of
February
,
being
Sunday
,
the
Dutch
Admirall
weighed
Anchor
an
houre
before
day-light
,
and
the
English
presently
after
him
,
but
the
Dutch
got
the
start
of
vs
all
,
though
we
made
al
the
saile
we
could
;
at
last
the
English
came
vp
to
him
with
their
whole
Fleet
,
but
he
discharged
the
first
shot
at
the
Portugall
Admirall
,
who
presently
answered
him
with
three
for
one
.
The
friends
and
foes
being
now
within
Musket
shot
of
each
other
,
it
fell
calme
,
whereby
our
ships
would
not
worke
but
as
the
Tide
did
set
them
,
that
when
the
Portugalls
were
Boord
and
Boord
,
they
had
a
great
aduantage
of
vs
with
their
Frigots
that
towed
them
cleare
one
off
another
often
,
which
helpe
we
wanted
,
thus
we
lay
some
foure
or
fiue
houres
pelting
and
beating
one
another
with
our
Ordnance
,
the
whilst
the
Frigots
plyed
vs
with
small
shot
,
as
fast
as
they
could
,
the
Royall
Iames
being
forced
to
keepe
the
Barge
a
head
to
pull
the
ships
head
to
and
fro
;
but
towards
the
afternoone
there
arose
a
fine
gale
,
but
the
Enemy
had
the
wind
of
vs
,
whereupon
the
Admirall
and
Vice-Admirall
of
the
Portugalls
bore
vp
roome
vpon
vs
,
making
account
to
lay
the
Royall
Iames
aboord
,
the
one
on
the
Starboord
,
the
other
on
the
Larboord
side
,
which
Captaine
Weddell
perceiuing
,
scarce
being
able
to
shun
it
,
he
called
to
the
Master
,
and
told
him
the
purpose
of
the
Enemy
,
to
auoyd
which
danger
,
hee
commanded
the
Master
to
beare
a
little
lasking
to
separate
them
further
each
from
other
,
that
hee
might
haue
more
roome
to
goe
betweene
them
,
the
Vice-Admirall
of
the
Enemie
seeing
the
Iames
beare
vp
so
lasking
,
she
likewise
bore
vp
with
her
,
when
suddenly
Captaine
Weddell
perceiued
there
was
hope
to
weather
him
,
caused
his
Mizzen
and
Mizzen
top-saile
to
be
set
,
and
so
presently
got
the
wind
of
him
,
edging
close
vp
with
the
Admirall
,
being
within
Musket-shot
of
them
both
;
the
Portugall
Admirall
put
to
stay
,
by
which
meanes
the
Iames
gate
the
wind
of
him
also
,
hauing
much
adoe
to
get
out
a
weather
of
him
,
comming
so
close
vnder
his
sterne
,
that
his
Boats
were
close
at
our
ships
side
as
she
sheared
by
,
when
presently
we
gaue
him
a
whole
broad-side
,
euery
shot
taking
him
fore
and
after
,
tacking
forth
with
,
and
standing
after
him
.
Thus
the
first
dayes
fight
lasted
till
fiue
at
night
,
wherein
the
Royall
Iames
lost
eight
men
,
and
some
others
which
had
some
small
hurts
:
Also
this
day
the
Dutch
lost
their
chiefe
Commander
,
a
braue
valiant
fellow
,
who
liued
and
died
nobly
in
the
bed
of
honour
.
This
fight
was
terrible
and
fierce
for
the
time
,
for
the
Royall
Iames
alone
spent
neere
700.
great
shot
,
and
all
the
other
ships
English
and
Dutch
,
did
proportionably
doe
the
like
.
The
Sunne
being
set
,
the
Enemy
fell
off
,
and
came
to
an
Anchor
at
the
East
end
of
Kishme
,
the
English
being
North-northwest
from
them
two
leagues
,
thus
was
concluded
the
first
dayes
fight
.
Munday
the
2.
of
February
,
being
Candlemas
day
,
the
wind
being
very
little
which
blew
off
from
Kishme
,
so
that
the
Enemy
had
the
aduantage
of
it
,
but
neuer
offered
to
make
vse
of
it
,
to
make
roome
towards
vs
;
the
English
and
Dutch
being
imployd
busily
to
fit
vp
their
torne
rigging
and
tackling
,
and
stopping
such
dangerous
shot
as
they
had
receiued
in
the
fight
betwixt
wind
and
water
.
Also
the
same
day
in
the
afternoone
there
was
a
meeting
aboord
the
Royall
Iames
,
where
both
the
English
and
Dutch
concluded
,
that
they
would
giue
the
Enemy
fight
the
next
morning
,
and
that
the
Royall
Iames
should
be
the
leading
ship
,
and
the
Admirall
of
the
Dutch
should
second
her
,
and
that
they
should
goe
directly
to
the
Enemies
Admirall
,
not
striking
higher
or
lower
till
the
Iames
came
side
by
side
with
her
.
So
the
third
of
February
being
Tuesday
,
both
the
Fleets
weighed
Anchors
at
breake
of
day
,
hauing
the
weather
gage
of
the
Enemy
,
the
great
Iames
stood
right
with
the
Admirall
of
the
Portugalls
,
which
was
head-most
but
one
;
but
comming
neere
them
,
they
weaued
to
Leeward
with
their
bright
arming
Swords
,
and
we
the
like
to
them
,
they
saluted
vs
with
a
whole
broad
side
;
but
Captaine
Weddell
commanded
his
men
not
to
answer
them
,
till
they
were
brought
neerer
within
danger
,
which
charge
was
obeyed
;
but
being
come
neere
the
Admirall
,
and
another
of
their
ships
,
the
great
Iames
bestowed
vpon
each
of
them
a
whole
broad
side
,
making
them
both
to
beare
vp
,
the
one
a
port
,
and
the
other
a
starboord
,
by
which
meanes
one
of
their
ships
was
cut
off
and
sundred
from
them
,
and
was
chased
three
or
foure
houres
by
the
Eagle
,
and
Weasope
;
the
hope
of
the
English
and
Dutch
being
that
she
should
no
more
returne
to
her
Fleets
Company
;
the
Iames
following
still
the
Admirall
and
Vice-Admirall
,
got
vpon
the
Admiralls
side
,
hauing
the
Vice-Admirall
on
his
Starboord
bow
;
insomuch
that
this
daies
fight
grew
very
hot
,
for
often
the
Iames
was
in
thickest
of
the
Enemy
,
being
at
one
time
all
round
about
vs
;
but
our
men
so
plyed
their
Ordnance
vpon
them
,
that
they
all
refused
to
stand
by
vs
,
but
fled
all
before
vs
as
chaffe
,
dust
,
or
smoake
before
the
wind
.
In
this
fight
the
Iames
got
between
one
of
their
Fleet
,
and
singled
her
out
,
lying
by
her
sides
with
fore-saile
,
and
fore-topsaile
a
backe
stayes
,
so
neere
as
a
man
might
quoit
a
Bisket
Cake
into
her
,
when
straight
Master
Iohnson
came
vp
in
the
sterne
of
the
Iames
,
so
neere
as
he
could
hardly
keepe
cleare
,
to
whom
Captaine
Weddell
called
,
willing
him
to
clap
the
Portugall
aboord
on
the
Larboord
quarter
,
(
whilst
the
Iames
lay
thundring
vpon
him
with
her
great
Ordnance
)
he
promised
to
doe
it
,
but
after
he
refused

This

for

Royall
Iames

;
both
parties
at
Sun-set
being
so
faint
and
weary
,
that
they
all
left
off
,
the
Portugalls
came
to
an
Anchor
vnder
Ormus
,
and
the
other
neere
Gombroone
Road
,
this
fight
last
neere
eight
houres
.
Note
,
that
the
morning
Captaine
Weddell
had
fitted
a
Portugall
Vessell
(
which
had
beene
formerly
taken
with
some
Cokernuts
)
and
purposed
to
haue
fired
her
thwart
the
Admiralls
Hawse
,
she
being
appointed
to
come
between
the
Dutch
Admirall
,
and
the
Ionas
,
but
through
disaster
,
or
rather
negligence
in
Darby
the
Master
,
who
came
not
vp
according
to
his
appointed
place
,
she
was
chased
by
the
Frigots
(
she
hauing
but
ten
men
in
her
)
being
of
no
defence
,
they
were
forced
to
set
her
on
fire
farre
from
the
Fleet
,
and
so
the
men
betooke
themselues
to
a
Barge
,
which
was
left
them
for
their
safety
,
by
which
meanes
the
Generalls
proiect
was
disappointed
.
All
this
third
day
at
night
this
Vessell
burnt
,
&
two
houres
before
daylight
,
whether
she
was
towed
by
some
of
the
Enemies
Boats
,
or
no
,
is
vnknowne
,
but
she
came
burning
amongst
the
English
and
Dutch
Fleets
,
and
forced
them
from
their
Anchors
by
slipping
their
Cables
,
which
Anchors
they
tooke
vp
some
three
daies
after
.
The
4.
of
February
in
the
morning
,
both
Fleets
made
towards
the
Enemies
,
who
were
vnder
saile
,
and
made
all
the
haste
they
could
to
get
vnder
the
Iland
of
Lowracke
,
which
lieth
some
eight
or
nine
miles
from
Ormus
,
vnto
which
Iland
their
Frigots
went
ahead
,
conducting
them
in
ouer
a
Barre
,
whom
the
English
and
Dutch
followed
as
farre
as
with
safety
they
durst
,
hauing
neither
the
helpe
of
Pilots
to
shun
the
dangers
of
the
place
,
or
Frigots
to
goe
a
head
as
conductors
,
as
the
Enemy
had
.
Besides
,
there
might
haue
beene
Ordnance
planted
a
shore
by
the
Enemy
,
which
would
haue
been
greatly
to
their
aduantage
,
or
otherwise
in
the
darke
night
they
might
haue
chained
two
or
three
Frigots
together
,
and
turning
them
vpon
them
,
vpon
the
Ebbe
thwart
their
hawse
,
might
much
haue
endangered
them
,
they
knowing
the
Enemie
to
be
implacable
,
malicious
,
and
politique
;
these
reasons
caused
them
to
follow
them
no
further
at
this
time
,
but
to
come
to
an
Anchor
a
League
from
them
,
when
Captaine
Weddell
sent
for
the
chiefe
of
the
Dutch
,
whose
resolution
was
to
go
backe
againe
for
Gombroone
,
there
to
dispatch
our
Merchants
affaires
.
So
Anchors
were
weighed
,
the
Iames
giuing
them
a
shot
for
a
farewell
,
and
they
answered
her
with
the
like
,
they
all
getting
into
Gombroone
Road
that
night
,
where
they
speedily
fell

repaire
the
ruines
of

,
in
sitting
of
Masts
,
Yards
,
Sailes
,
rigging
and
stopping
breaches
,
all
which
in
three
daies
,
was
accomplished
,
leauing
the
Portugall
like
a
Theefe
in
his
Mill
,
or
a
Fox
in
his
hole
,
not
minding
to
trie
as
yet
the
hazard
of
another
bout
.
In
this
fight
their
Reare-Admiralls
maine
Mast
was
shot
by
the
boord
,
their
Vice-Admiralls
maine
top-mast
was
likewise
shot

,
their
Admiralls
Mizzen-mast
,

shot

much
rent
and

.
Their
fourth
ship
had
the
head
of
her
maine
Mast
shot
by
the
boord
.
Another
of
their
ships
had
al
her
top-masts
shot
by
the
boord
.
In
conclusion
,
all
their
eight
ships
were
so
torne
and
tattered
,
that
they
had
neither
good
Masts
,
Sailes
,
or
Yards
to
helpe
themselues
with
,
nor
tight
sides
to

Thus
it
pleased
the
Almighty
to
giue
the
victory
of
the
day
vnto
those
that
relie
vpon
his
promise
;
to
that
great
God
be
all

for

and
let
all

Christians
say
Amen

The
13.
of
February
being
Friday
,
the
English
and
Dutch
Fleets
set
saile
at
day-light
from
the
Road
of
Gombroone
,
hauing
also
with
them
foure
Iunks
,
other
vessels
of
lading
,
vnder
the
conduct
and
charge
of
the
Dutch
,
which
as
soone
as
the
Enemy
perceiued
,
they
let
slip
their
Cables
and
slipped
from
their
harbour
at
the
Iland
of
Lawracke
,
which
is
foure
or
fiue
Leagues
from
the
Road
of
Gombroone
,
the
Enemy
making
all
the
saile
he
could
to
sea-boord
of
the
English
and
Dutch
all
the
day
till
Sun-set
;
when
they
were
got
within
Saker-shot
of
each
other
,
and
a
good
bearing
gale
,
they
all
kept
company
together
all
night
.
This
13.
at
night
it
blew
so
hard
at
West-south-west
,
that
one
of
their
great
Gallions
bore
ouer-boord
the
head
of
her
maine
Mast
,
close
vnder
the
hownds
,
not
being
able
to
hoyst
vp
her
maine
saile
,
she
was
forced
to
steere
alongst
with
her
fore-saile
,
fore-top-saile
,
her
Sprit-saile
,
and
Mizzen
,
the
wind
being
at
West-South-West
,
they
steered
away
South
and
by
East
.
The
14.
in
the
morning
the
Dutch
Fleet
staying
,
and
bearing
vp
vnto
the
Iunke
,
the
night
past
was
a
storme
so
farre
,
that
the
English
Fleet
could
scarce
descry
them
;
so
the
Iames
laid
her
fore-saile
a
backe-staies
,
staid
for
them
,
the
Portugall
neuer
offering
to
alter
his
course
,
but
kept
on
still
.
The
same
day
about
noone
the
Dutch
being
come
vp
with
the
English
,
it
was
agreed
betweene
them
,
that
the
Royall
Iames
should
giue
the
first
on-set
vpon
their
Admirall
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Fleet
to
second
her
;
so
about
two
of
the
clocke
that
afternoone
the
two
Fleets
came
to
weather
of
the
Enemies
Admirall
,
receiuing
the
first
shot
from
their
Vice-Admirall
,
and
presently
a
whole
broad
side
from
their
Admirall
,
both
sides
comming
as
neere
each
other
as
they
could
but
well
keepe
cleane
of
each
other
,
they
fell
to
it
of
all
hands
pell
mell
,
the
Ordnance
going
off
as
fast
as
small
shot
,
the
Iames
for
her
part
giuing
them
two
broad
sides
,
shee
then
edgd
vp
in
the
winde
,
laying
her
fore-saile
and
fore-top-saile
a
backe
staies
,
as
well
to
giue
leaue
to
the
Ionas
,
(
who
was
second
to
the
Iames
)
as
also
to
suffer
the
Portugall
Admirall
to
shoot
a
head
,
which
she
suddenly
did
,
then
the
Iames
filling
her
top-saile
the
second
time
,
bore
vpright
with
the
Enemie
Admirall
,
plying
her
whole
broad
side
so
fast
vpon
him
,
that
hee
had
scarce
leasure
to
returne
any
shot
backe
,
whilst
the
English
and
Portugall
Admiralls
were
so
neere
each
other
,
that
they
could
hardly
cleare
themselues
.
In
this
time
whilst
our
ships
plyed
the
Enemies
Admirall
,
(
not
so
much
looking
after
,
or
heeding
the
other
ships
)
the
Vice
Admirall
,
with
the
rest
of
their
Fleet
,
were
left
a
sterne
,
their
Admirall
plyed
very
hard
vpon
the
Iames
,
giuing
and
receiuing
many
dangerous
shots
,
the
Iames
being
shot
betweene
wind
and
water
often
,
and
had
more
spoile
in
her
Sailes
and
Rigging
than
she
had
done
any
of
the
two
daies
fight
before
,
then
the
third
time
comming
side
by
side
with
each
others
Fleet
,
they
let
driue
one
at
another
like
Thunder
in
the
aire
,
the
Iames
comming
vp
with
the
Admirall
(
the
great
ship
of
Damon
,
who
the
first
daies
fight
lost
her
maine
Mast
)
crept
in
betwixt
the
Iames
and
the
Portugall
Admirall
,
lying
as
a
Bulwarke
to
weather
of
her
,
to
receiue
all
that
might
be
put
vpon
her
,
and
indeed
all
that
was
meant
to
haue
been
bestowed
vpon
the
Admirall
,
was
still
plyed
vpon
that
great
Hulke
;
as
likewise
the
Iames
,
and
Dutch
,
did
continue
this
third
daies
fight
til
day-light
was
shut
in
,
the
Portugalls
edging
vp
to
get
neere
the
Arabian
shore
,
in
so
much
that
at
eight
at
night
both
English
and
Dutch
were
faire
by
it
,
chasing
them
in
.
This
night
the
English
and
Dutch
steered
away
their
course
for
Surat
,
the
Portugalls
steering
for
Swar
,
a
place
where
they
haue
a
Castle
.
The
Royall
Iames
with
the
rest
,
were
forced
to
giue
euen
the
Chase
for
these
reasons
.
FIrst
,
for
that
the
time
of
yeare
was
so
farre
spent
,
that
they
should
not
haue
time
enough
to
deliuer
their
goods
at
Surat
,
and
so
to
goe
cleere
off
the
coast
before
the
Westerly
Monsoone
,
which
is
a
wind
that
blowes
at
west
six
moneths
together
,
beginning
in
Aprill
,
would
be
come
,
and
so
endanger
the
ships
in
getting
off
againe
.
A
second
reason
was
,
that
the
Royall
Iames
had
but
31.
Barrells
,
and
some
500.
Cartregos
fild
with
Powder
,
and
some
600.
shot
all
which
was
not
aboue
three
quarters
of
a
dayes
fight
for
her
vse
,
for
in
her
former
dayes
worke
the
third
of
February
she
alone
spent
1000.
great
shot
vpon
the
Enemy
,
so
that
now
through
want
of
Powder
she
was
not
able
to
maintaine
such
another
fight
according
to
that
rate
.
And
this
last
dayes
fight
she
lost
but
one
man
,
hauing
spent
vpon
the
Enemy
more
than
three
hundred
great
shot
.
To
the
Lord
of
hosts
the
only
giuer
of
victory
,
the
mighty
God
of
battels
,
be
all
honour
,
glory
,
praise
and
dominion
for
euer
,
Amen
.

A

Disaster
of
the

called
the

of

who
was
lost
in

with

neere

of

on
the
eighth

of

1625.
about
4.
in
the
morning
,
the

anchored
about
three
Leagues
to
the
Southwards
of
Surat
Barre
,
and
when
it
grew
light
(
men
being
in
the
top
)
espied
certaine
Roaders
,
riding
against
Surat
Riuer
,
which
some
supposed
to
be
English

others
affirmed
to

but
in
fine
,
about
an

after
they
set
saile
and
steered
after

in
short
space
we
made
them
to

forth
an
Ensigne
for
Counsell
,
and
the
Master
of
each
Ship
presently
repaired
aboord
.
At
which
consultation
,
as
it
was
reported
by
our
Master
M.
Richard
Swanley
,
Captaine
Blithe
propounded
that
he
thought
it
expedient
to
set
saile
,
and
stand
off
to
Sea
againe
,
and
by
that
meanes
to
abate
the
force
of
the
Frigots
,
and
if
it
fell
out
so
that
our
Ships
sailed
better
than
the
Portugalls
,
we
should
stand
direct
for
Ormus
;
the
reasons
he
gaue
for
it
were
these
,
viz.
first
,
hee
doubred
that
the
Portugall
had
a
great
force
of
shipping
in
Swalley
Road.
Secondly
,
hee
feared
whether
our
Merchants
had
friendship
with
the
Countrey
people
,
or
not
,
by
reason
of
the
discord
which
was
between
them
at
the
Dolphins
preparations
for
England
,
which
was
the
last
newes
hee
heard
from
thence
.
Thirdly
,
he
doubted
that
the
Portugalls
had
made
peace
with
the
Gazerats
,
and
had
planted
Ordnance
a
shore
on
Swalley
sands
.
Hee
also
doubted
what
was
become
of
Captaine
Weddells
Fleet
,
for
he
assured
himselfe
,
if
there
were
any
friends
at
that
time
in
Swalley
Road
,
they
would
not
suffer
the
Portugall
to
ride
there
,
for
he
supposed
that
the
Portugall
had
beene
in
fight
with
them
the
yeare
past
,
and
had
either
put
them
to
the
worst
,
or
else
for
want
of
munition
to
effect
another
fight
,
they
were
forced
to
repaire
to
Ormus
Castle
for
succour
vntill
supply
came
out
of
England
.
All
which
being
propounded
,
and
the
vnreadinesle
and
great
charge
of
all
three
ships
well
considered
,
it
was
concluded
to
set
saile
,
the
which
we
did
,
the
wind
being
Northerly
,
and
the
tide
of
stoud
come
,
we
stood
for
Sea
,
and
the
Portugall
Admirall
and
Vice-Admirall
sayling
better
than
the
rest
,
fetcht
vs
vp
about
foure
in
the
afternoone
,
at
which
time
the
Lion
being
formost
of
our
Fleet
,
the
enemy
Admirall
shot
one
peece
of
Ordnance
at
her
,
for
the
which
she
answered
three
of
foure
,
but
could
hardly
reach
further
than
halfe
way
:
the
Portugall
finding
his
Ordnance
better
than
ours
,
both
Admirall
and
Vice-Admirall
plyed
vpon
the
Lion
for
the
space
of
halfe
an
houre
,
in
which
time
she
receiued
diuers
shot
both
in
her
Hull
and
Rigging
.
Our
Master
Richard
Swanley
,
seeing
their
aduantage
,
caused
to
bruile
maine-saile
,
and
edge
within
Musket-shot
of
them
both
,
and
there
maintained
fight
with
them
vntill
Sunne-set
,
and
receiued
no
hurt
at
all
.
All
which
time
,
and
an
houre
after
,
being
calme
,
the
other
two
ships
of
the
Enemy
were
at
least
a
League
a
starne
.
The
Palsgrane
,
and
Dolphin
all
this
time
being
right
a
head
,
kept
on
their
course
,
only
plying
their
starne
peeces
.
The
Portugals
seeing
them
still
stand
away
,
came
both
aboord
of
vs
,
the
one
in
the
one
quarter
,
and
the
other
in
the
other
,
and
entred
at
least
100.
of
their
men
,
heauing
fire-pots
,
and
diuers
sorts
of
fire-works
vpon
our
decks
,
the
Frigots
(
as
many
as
could
lye
about
vs
)
threw
firepots
in
at
the
ports
,
and
stucke
fire-pikes
in
her
sides
;
all
which
(
by
the
great
mercy
and
assistance
of
God
)
wee
still
put
out
.
Our
Admirall
and
Vice-Admirall
,
in
this
our
misery
were
quickly
out
of
our
sight
,
the
cause
whereof
is
best
knowne
to
themselues
.
This
conflict
remained
from
8.
at
night
till
about
11.
in
which
space
our
Master
Richard
Swanley
was
slaine
,
and
4.
more
of
our
men
were
also
slaine
,
3.
of
our
Masters
Mates
,
and
20.
more
were
exceedingly
burnt
,
the
rest
almost
wearied
,
and
more
discomforted
,
by
reason
our
Fleet
had
left
vs
,
and
in
briefe
we
were
in
that
case
that
the
word
was
giuen
to
blow
vp
the
ship
,
had
not
God
in
his
wisdome
staid
it
,
by
putting
it
in
the
minde
of
some
of
our
men
to
let
fall
an
Anchor
,
which
being
done
(
the
tide
running
very
strong
)
brought
our
ship
to
so
strong
a
bitter
,
that
the
fast
which
the
Portugals
had
vpon
vs
brake
,
whose
vnexpected
▪
sudden
departure
from
vs
left
50
or
60
of
their
men
vpon
our
Poope
,
who
still
maintained
the
fire
in
such
sort
,
that
we
were
forced
to
blow
them
vp
,
which
blast
tore
all
the
Starne
of
our
ship
in
peeces
,
from
the
middle-Decke
vpwards
.
The
Portugals
being
all
repulsed
,
and
the
fire
put
out
,
we
vsed
all
diligence
for
the
clearing
our
ship
,
and
getting
vp
our
maine-top-saile-yard
,
which
then
lay
vpon
our
Decke
,
likewise
bringing
new
sailes
to
Yard
,
the
former
being
all
burnt
and
torne
,
all
which
being
as
well
done
as
haste
would
giue
leaue
,
wee
expected
their
comming
again
the
next
tide
,
but
they
hoping
we
would
either
haue
burnt
or
sunke
,
onely
left
fiue
Frigots
without
shot
of
vs
,
and
themselues
with
the
other
two
ships
that
were
formerly
a
starne
stood
after
the
Palsgraue
and
Dolphin
,
and
in
short
space
fetcht
them
vp
,
and
fought
with
them
all
that
night
,
they
standing
still
off
to
Sea
,
were
but
off
our
sight
the
next
morning
.
The
8.
day
in
the
morning
,
(
all
the
ships
being
out
of
our
sight
)
it
was
agreed
vpon
by
the
Officers
of
our
ship
,
that
Henry
Crosbey
our
Masters
chiefe
Mate
should
succeed
as
our
Commander
,
vntill
such
time
as
it
pleased
God
we
should
meet
with
our
Commander
.
This
being
done
,
we
being
not
able
to
weigh
our
Anchor
,
by
reason
our
men
were
most
of
them
hurt
,
cut
Cable
in
the
hawse
,
and
set
as
much
saile
as
wee
durst
beare
,
(
our
fore-mast
hauing
receiued
three
shot
,
in
such
wise
,
as
it
had
but
foure
inches
hold
)
and
stood
off
to
Sea
,
and
being
faire
weather
,
praised
be
God
,
in
short
time
our
fore-mast
was
made
seruiceable
.
The
Frigots
aforesaid
that
were
left
by
vs
,
stood
foure
of
them
after
the
Fleet
,
and
the
other
in
for
the
shore
,
all
that
day
we
heard
them
in
sight
,
but
saw
them
not
,
likewise
the
next
night
wee
could
see
the
light
of
their
Ordnance
at
our
top-mast
head
;
but
they
being
to
wind-ward
of
vs
,
we
could
not
get
to
them
,
nor
indeed
were
not
in
case
if
we
could
,
for
our
ship
was
so
open
,
and
all
our
chiefe
men
kild
and
hurt
.
The
ninth
in
the
morning
,
we
could
neither
see
them
,
nor
heare
them
,
then
it
was
thought
fitting
by
our
Master
,
that
according
to
the
consultation
held
aboord
the
Palsgraue
the
seuenth
day
wee
should
stand
for
Ormus
,
the
which
(
by
the
assistance
of
God
)
wee
did
,
hauing
faire
weather
all
the
way
;
in
which
time
of
our
sailing
,
our
Carpenters
had
got
vp
all
the
sterne
of
our
ship
againe
,
as
well
as
his
store
would
giue
him
leaue
,
our
men
also
were
all
well
recouered
of
their
hurts
.
The
fourth
of
Nouember
wee
arriued
at
Gombroone
,
where
wee
had
intelligence
by
our
Merchants
there
resident
,
that
Rufrero
was
riding
vnder
Ormus
Iland
,
with
18.
or
20.
Frigots
,
the
which
when
our
Master
vnderstood
,
(
the
Merchants
being
then
aboord
)
it
was
concluded
by
consultation
,
that
to
preuent
any
ensuing
danger
that
might
happen
,
and
also
for
the
cleering
of
our
ship
,
wherby
to
mount
our
lower
Tier
,
all
the
Cloth
,
and
Currall
,
and
foure
Chests
of
money
should
be
sent
a
shore
with
as
much
speed
as
possible
,
the
other
our
Master
refused
to
send
out
of
the
ship
,
alleaging
,
that
if
it
should
please
God
they
were
forced
to
leaue
the
Port
by
any
disaster
,
there
was
no
stocke
to
buy
any
refreshing
for
our
men
which
then
did
want
it
;
the
rest
of
our
Carriages
or
Goods
lying
low
in
Hold
,
could
not
then
be
come
by
,
without
much
time
which
then
we
wanted
.
It
was
also
appointed
that
we
should
with
all
speed
take
in
water
,
and
stand
for
Ormus
,
the
which
was
assaied
to
doe
,
and
partly
effected
,
for
vpon
the
fifth
day
the
Merchants
and
our
Purser
rode
with
all
speed
to
the
Sultan
,
(
who
was
then
out
of
Towne
)
to
intreat
for
Boats
to
land
the
goods
,
and
to
water
our
ships
,
the
which
he
granted
,
and
also
gaue
vs
a
Boat
to
make
vs
a
Long-boate
,
by
reason
wee
had
lost
both
our
Skiffe
and
Long-boat
the
last
fight
.
The
sixth
there
came
Boot-hailers
aboord
,
and
tooke
all
the
goods
aforesaid
,
and
carried
them
a
shoare
,
and
also
tooke
in
Caske
to
fill
with
water
.
The
seuenth
of
Nouember
there
came
twelue
Tunne
of
water
aboord
,
which
was
presently
taken
in
,
and
more
Caske
sent
a
shore
,
also
in
this
short
time
our
Lower
orlope
was
almost
made
Priddie
,
and
our
two
Chase
peeces
were
mounted
,
and
wee
were
in
good
hope
the
next
day
to
take
in
water
enough
to
serue
vntill
the
Fleet
came
to
stand
ouer
for
Ormus
;
but
God
hauing
otherwise
appointed
,
it
fell
out
contrary
.
The
eighth
day
,
about
seuen
in
the
morning
,
Rufrero
with
his
Frigots
came
rowing
towards
the
ship
,
and
being
then
calme
that
the
ship
could
not
worke
,
he
came
in
such
sort
,
that
she
could
haue
none
but
her
Chase
peece
to
beare
vpon
them
,
which
lay
so
well
to
passe
,
that
they
sunke
two
of
their
Frigots
before
they
could
boord
her
,
and
two
more
after
they
were
by
her
sides
.
But
after
they
were
a
boord
they
plied
their
small
shot
in
such
wise
,
that
they
were
not
able
to
open
a
Port
in
the
ship
,
but
were
forced
to
shute
away
Ports
,
and
all
.
They
also
maintained
such
abundance
of
fire-workes
round
about
her
,
that
in
a
moment
all
her
Masts
and
Sailes
were
on
fire
,
her
vpper
Decke
was
also
on
fire
,
the
which
for
all
their
heauing
much
water
vpon
it
,
in
lesse
than
halfe
an
houre
fell
downe
vpon
their
heads
,
and
put
them
from
their
Ordnance
,
who
seeing
death
on
each
side
,
some
leaped
ouer-boord
,
and
put
themselues
to
the
mercy
of
their
enemies
,
the
rest
gaue
fire
to
the
Powder-roome
,
and
blew
vp
the
ship
.
Those
men
which
leaped
ouer-boord
were
all
receiued
into
the
Frigots
,
and
carried
vnto
Ormus
Iland
,
and
the
next
morning
Rufrero
gaue
order
to
cut
off
all
their
heads
but
one
,
namely
,
Thomas
Winterborne
,
whom
he
sent
with
a
letter
to
the
Merchants
at
Gambroone
,
the
rest
being
26.
persons
were
immediatly
beheaded
.
Those
that
were
blowne
vp
in
the
ship
droue
a
shore
,
and
were
buried
at
Gombroone
,
being
in
number
42.
there
were
also
9.
men
a
shore
about
the
Companies
affaires
,
and
one
that
Rufrero
sent
with
a
letter
makes
10.
whom
God
grant
neuer
worse
fortune
.
Thus
was
this
good
ship
and
men
vnfortunately
and
lamentably
lost
,
yet
as
much
courage
and
manly
resolution
as
possibly
could
be
was
performed
by
the
Engligh
,
nor
can
it
be
imagined
how
more
industry
or
truer
valour
could
haue
been
shewed
;
on
the
other
side
the
cruell
and
bloud-thirsty
Enemy
gained
nothing
but
knockes
,
losse
of
liues
and
limbes
,
hauing
his
Frigots
suncke
and
torne
in
peeces
,
his
maine
purchase
being
dishonour
and
infamie
,
for
after
all
our
men
had
fought
so
long
,
and
so
manfully
,
being
besieged
round
with
death
,
as
the
Sea
to
swallow
them
,
the
fire
to
consume
them
,
or
the
Portugals
swords
to
cut
their
throats
,
not
being
possible
to
escape
one
of
these
waies
of
eminent
danger
,
that
then
in
that
extremity
27.
men
leaping
into
the
Sea
,
were
all
aliue
taken
vp
by
the
Enemy
,
whom
had
hee
then
kild
in
heat
of
bloud
,
when
warre
,
rage
,
death
and
fury
were
vp
,
it
had
beene
then
but
the
effect
and
fortune
of
warre
;
but
to
giue
them
harbour
all
night
,
and
the
next
day
in
cold
bloud
to
cause
them
to
be
beheaded
,
it
was
one
of
the
ignoblest
,
inhumane
,
and
barbarous
parts
of
murther
that
could
be
committed
.
But
Rufrero
being
a
Portugall
or
Spaniard
,
could
doe
no
other
(
for
the
honour
of
his
Countrey
)
but
shew
his
bloudy
nature
,
especially
to
our
Nation
:
a
Barbarian
,
a
Turke
,
or
a
Iew
should
haue
found
more
kindnesse
,
for
indeed
they
all
are
of
one
disposition
.
And
I
am
sure
no
Record
or
Chronicle
can
shew
,
no
History
can
report
,
no
tradition
can
declare
;
nor
any
memorie
relate
,
that
euer
any
Englishman
,
or
almost
any
other
Nation
(
except
the
Spaniard
)
did
murther
so
many
disarmed
naked
men
,
hauing
had
them
all
a
whole
night
in
their
custodie
.
A
farewell
and
hearty
well-wishing
to
the
noble
attempts
of
our
English

and
Land
forces
,
with
their
Allies
and
Confederates
