affections with that discretion that he gained loue euen from his enemyes in his priuate command hee could so well mixe clemency with seueritie together that he was both feared and loued so seriously searching into the mystery of his new profession that he would soone haue equalled the best Captaine both for iudgement and command his death bred a generall lament in the whole fleet and some alteration in the sway of most curious businesse the wheele euer since turning with the violent motion of a selfe willed mouer The 10. hearing no newes of our supply of victuals the Vice-Admirall with the other fiue ships set sayle for Alicant the winde West ward The 14. about three in the afternoone we came to an Anchor in Alicant Rode where wee found our Admirall with the rest of the fleet here

hyred a house wherein hee made diuers workes for the firing of the shippes within the Mould of Algiere The 18. Sir Henrie Palmer and our Admiralls order remooued out of the Anthelope into the Reformation and Captaine Alexander Bret into the Anthelope and Sir Thomas Wilsad was made Captaine ouer the Hercules this day also my selfe for some respects remoued into the Centurion notwithstanding I receiued many good perswasions from Sir Henrie Palmer to continue where I was The 21 we receiued letters out of England by a post sent from Malhaga signifying a remainder of victuals which wee expected was arriued at Malhaga The 25. about nine in the morning the whole fleet sayle for Alicant Rode being bound for Firma terra to supply our wants for wood The 28. in the euening hauing fitted our selues with wood wee set sayle for Mayorke to take in water The 29. in the afternoone we came to an Anchor in Mayorke Rode The towne of Maiorke is large and well fortified the people industrious both men women and children giuen to labour louing and courteous to strangers here we found all manner of victuals in plenty and at easie rates Their chiefe Marchandise are Oyle Wood and Cheese whereof the countrey affoordeth plenty May. HAuing taken water at three in the morning vpon shooting off a warning peece the whole fleete weighed Anchor and set sayle for Algiere the winde Easterly a small breath The 21. at 6. in the afternoone we came to an-Anchor in Algiere Roade order being first giuen by our Admirall how euery ship should berth her selfe the manner followeth first the Kings ships and the Golden Phenix came to an anchor at their place vpon a South and Northline the Admirall riding in the middest of them East of the South end of the Mould Next to the Admirall on the North side
came to an anchor the Reformation the Golden Phenix on the South the Conuertine on the Southside the Phenixe and Anthelope on the Northside the Reformation the Vice-admirall innermost on the Southside the Rere-admirall vttermost on the North side The kings ships hauing berthed themselues the rest of the fleete who this time plyed vp and downe vnder sayle came to a Sterne to the Admirals of their squadrons giuing good berthes one to another the winde being then Westerly but if the winde had beene Easterly then were they to haue beene anchored a head between the Kings ships and the Easterne shore keeping the Kings ships and the Phenix betweene them and the towne where the force of the Pyrates remained The ships being come to an anchor in their orders our Admirall caused sixe of the Marchants ships presently to weigh with directions to ply off and on of the Westermost part keeping as neere the shore as conueniently they might to preuent the comming in of any Pyrates between the fleete and the shore In the beginning of this night the Boats and Brigandines appointed for the assistance of two ships which our Admirall resolued should that night goe into the Mould and there to set themselues on fire being chained and linked to the Pyrates ships repaired aboord our Admirall there to receiue their directions The manner and preparations for firing of the ships was thus First there were two small ships which we had taken from the Turkes the one of the burden of an hundred tunnes the other of sixtie with great store of fire-workes in them There was layde in them plenty of dry wood wood of Ocham Pitch Rozen Tarre Brimstone and other materials fit to take fire they had likewise in them Chaines and Grapnels of iron to fasten themselues to the ships which they were to fire they had also boates to bring off their men when they had fired the ships then were there three Brigandines fitted with fire-bals buckets of wilde-fire and fire pikes to make their fire-workes fast vnto the ships there was also a Gundlod fitted with fire-workes Chaines and Grapnels of iron shee was to goe into the middest of the ships in the Mould where fastning her to some ship was to be set on fire She had likewise with her a boat to bring off her men Likewise there were seuen boates which we called boates of rescue well filled with armed men who were to rescue and releeue the boates of execution if they should chance to be pursued by other boates or gallyes at their comming off These had also fire-workes in them to fire the ships which rode without the Mould these boates being all aboord the Admirall sent for most of the Captains and Masters in the fleete to aduise whether it were fit to attempt it with boates and Brigandines in regard it was little winde and that Westerly so that it was impossible for the ships to get in After some deliberation it was concluded that it was not fit for that the surest and most certaine meanes of firing was by the ships which were to bee made fast to the ships in the Mould and to burne with them Whereupon it was deferred for that time till a fitter opportunity was offered The 22. at night there were like preparations made but deferred for like reasons The 23. in the beginning of the night wee had a fresh gale of wind at South by South west continuing the space of two houres or more with thunder lightning and some drops of raine the two ships weighed and with the Brigandines and Boates set forwards towards the Mould but the winde shifting before they came neere they were forced also to giue ouer for that night The 24. at night after a great showre of raine we had the wind out of the Bay at Sourh South West the weather then cleering vp both the ships and boates aduanced themselues toward Mould as before they had done but comming within lesse then Musket shot of the Moulds head it fell calme so that the ships could by no meanes get in the Boates and Brigandines finding that they were discouered by reason of the brightnesse of the Moone which was then at full and hearing it reported by a Christian captiue which did swimme from the towne the night before to the ships that the Turkes had left their shippes without guard sauing one or two in a ship as fearing no such attempt from vs. And moreouer hearing the Alarum giuen to the towne by those which ktpt watch on the walles with good resolution went on but wanting winde to nourish and disperse the fire the fire-workes tooke no effect at all In this seruice were onely sixe men slaine out right foure or fiue dangerously hurt which not long after dyed and some thirteene sleightly hurt yet notwithstanding the attempt was giuen vnder the walles of the towne where both small shot and Ordnance played continually vpon them the hurt done our men was their comming off for that they were got into the Mould before the towne was risen and being in the ships in the Mould defended them both from small shot and ordnance of the towne our boats still keeping the ships betweene them and the towne The 25. there came in foure saile of Pyrates by the Wester most point of land notwithstanding 6. ships were appointed to lye off at that place for the wind being Westward and a great currant setting to the Eastward our ships were put so farre to leeward that they could not preuent the pyrates coming in betweene the shore and them but yet the Bonauenture loosed so neere that there passed some shot betweene her and the Pyrates ships but no hurt done this night our Admirall and the whole fleete weighed Anchor and stood off to the Sea The 26. the fore part of the day the wind was shifting to and fro from the South-east to the South-west in the afternoone at South and South South-east hard gale and rainy weather and at night hauing the winde shifting at South and South-west we played off and on all night by a winde The 27. we had a fresh gale at West and west North-west and this euening we saw two ships to wind-ward of vs but what they were I know not The 28. We had faire weather the wind Westerly this night the Bonauenture and the Hercules put a Pyrate a shore hee hauing a hundred and thirty Turks in her and twelue poore Christians captiues they were al drowned but twelue Turkes who got the shore by swimming The 30. we got into the Bay and Anchored three miles off the towne and in turning in the towne and castle made 15. great shot at the vantguard the Rainbow and two other Marchants ships but did no hurt The 31. in the morning our boates tooke vp two Genoways captiues who aduentured to swim from the towne to the ships They tould that the same night our ships stood off to Sea there came into the Mould seuen of the best ships belonging to Algiere
shore where we rode we had the Cape some sixe miles of West North West the 3. miles of West and Mount Defourt East North East about seuen or eight mi●●s of The 28. our Admirall sent a Gentleman a shore one Captaine Squibe with a white flag of truce in his boate to giue the Vice-Roy to vnderstand the cause of our comming hereupon the Vice-Roy sent a boate aboord our Admirall with a white flag and foure men in her one principall man in the towne who deliuered our Admirall signifying the Vice-Roy had receiued command from the grand Seignour to vse vs with all respect and that our men might haue the free liberty of the shore to buy fresh victuals or whatsoeuer they wanted they promised our Admirall if on the morrow hee would send any Gentleman of quality a shore with the kings Maiesties letters that vpon the shooting off a peece of Ordnance according to our Admirals demād he should receiue sufficient hostages aboord for his safety this night the Pyrates brought in three prizes one Flemming the other two Englishmen the one a Plimmouth man the other of North Yarmouth The 29. in the morning our Admirall sent Captaine Squibe a shore againe with letters importing as well a speedy dispatch as also to giue them notice what pledges he demanded for such Gentlemen as were then ready to goe a shore with his Maiesties letters about foure in the afternoone our Admirall shooting off a peece of Ordnance according to promise sent Captaine Iohn Roper in his Barge accompanyed with diuers other Gentlemen of qualitie to carry the Kings letters to the Bashaw Duana but before they got a shore word was brought them that the Principall of the Duana were gone into the Country and that the pledges were not ready but the next morning they should not fayle whereupon they returned a boord againe this day towards the euening there came in 3. saile of ships the windes blowing fresh at South West The 30. the Admirall called a generall Councell of all the Captaines and Maisters in the fleet where it was debated whether the fleet might ride in safety or not till wee had concluded our businesse here it was generally concluded that by Gods prouidence wee might ride without hazard December DEcember the first in the morning the winde at South West faire weather came in eight sayle of ships and one saile whereof some were Turkes Pyrates other Pyrates this day the Admirall sent a shore one Master Iames Friswell to expect our businesse for whose safety we receiued foure Turkes for hostage this day in the afternoone came in two ships The second in the morning went out foure sayle of Turkish Pyrates the wind at South west a fresh gale this day the Admirall sent Captaine Iohn Roper a shore with his Maiesties letters and two principall men of the towne were sent a boord in hostage for him The third came sixe of the king of Spains ships into the roade the Admirall striking his flag saluted our Admirall with small shot and Ordnance this done he came aboord our Admirall in his boate and tould him he came in pursuite of certaine Pirates who had taken diuers of their men who being in a ship of 700. tuns neere Carthagena in fight with a Turkish Pirate had boorded her entred her men and taken her had not there owne ship vnfortunately fallen on fire with a mischance hapning they were forced to forsake the Turkes ship to saue their owne and so lost both for being not able to quench the fury of the fire were forced to yeeld themselues to the slauery of the Turkes to saue their liues being in all 300. men whereof 30. perished in the fire This Spanish Admiral sayling neere the town the Turkes 74. great shot at him and he gaue thē some 16. backe in exchange but the distance betweene them was so farre that the shot falling short no harme was done on either side The fourth our Admirall receiued from the towne an answer of the Kings letters The sixth after long debating finding the Turks perfidious and fickle as well in detaining our messenger who deliuered his Maiesties letters notwithstanding wee had sufficient hostages for him as in breaking all other promises in the end it was agreed thus vpon leauing a Consull with them they would let our messenger come aboord againe whereupon the Admirall sent a common man well cloathed by the name of a Consull whom they receiued with good respect sending our messenger aboord receiued their owne pledges and deliuered vs some 40. poore captiues which they pretended was all they had in the towne this was all wee could draw from them The seuenth in the morning our Admiral sent a letter with instruction to our Councell with another letter to the Bashawe to let him know how ill wee tooke his perfidious dealing The eight in the morning our Admirall and all the rest of the fleete weighed Anchor and set sayle the winde being West wee steered away North till noone and then bearing vp shaped our course North East and by East being bound for Calerie The 10. day at night the winde shifted to the South and East and so to the East The 11 in the morning the winde Easterly the Admirall altered his course and steered for May lorka The 13. at night hauing the winde West wee came to an Anchor in the Bay of Port Columbra a Bay on the South side of May lorka The 14. in the morning we weighed and the same night came to Anchor in the Rode of Alacotha on the North side of the sayde Iland wee found this to be a very good place yeelding vs wood water and ballast whereof we had great need the people very kind and courteous bringing vs great store of all manner of prouisions which we bought at easie rates whereby we supplyed our wants and releeued our sicke men whereof we had great store in our fleete The 24. in the morning the fleete weighed Anchor and set sayle the winde at West South West the weather thicke and rainy till noone and then clearing vp the winde shifted to the South South East wee sayled out by the North East ende of the Iland The 25. about nine at night came eight or nine sayle of Turks into our fleet whom so soone as we discouered we chased them and made diuers shot at them but by reason it was a darke night and that they sayled better then our ships they escaped vs. The 26. about three in the after noone we put into Alicant Rode hoping there to receiue letters of aduice else some newes of a supply of victuals out of England but missed both The 27. at night the Reare-Admirals squadron went out to Sea in pursuit of two Turkes Pyrates who had not taken aboue three houres before two Flemish ships the Flemmings quiting there their ships saued themselues in their boates The 29. the Reare-Admirall returned but saw no Turke The 31. there was great ioyes triumphs and
