have_v bring_v the_o monk_n and_o a_o dutch_a man_n of_o war_n into_o the_o most_o proper_a station_n i_o can_v judge_v for_o batter_v the_o fort_n i_o be_v necessitate_v myself_o to_o go_v on_o board_n every_o particular_a ship_n that_o be_v follow_v i_o to_o fix_v some_o of_o they_o so_o as_o to_o give_v diversion_n to_o those_o battery_n and_o the_o other_o in_o the_o most_o convenient_a station_n i_o can_v at_o that_o time_n get_v they_o to_o for_o defend_v our_o land-force_n on_o their_o approach_n to_o the_o shore_n from_o the_o canonshot_n and_o also_o to_o execute_v our_o design_n on_o the_o enemy_n land-force_n and_o cover_v our_o own_o on_o their_o descent_n but_o i_o have_v no_o soon_o part_v from_o the_o monk_n but_o the_o wind_n come_v about_o to_o the_o n._n e._n which_o then_o also_o make_v it_o very_o difficult_a for_o i_o to_o prosecute_v my_o design_n but_o with_o get_v most_o of_o their_o boat_n together_o and_o tow_v first_o one_o ship_n and_o then_o another_o i_o make_v a_o shift_n at_o last_o to_o post_v they_o in_o such_o a_o manner_n that_o i_o be_o very_a well_o assure_v give_v great_a succour_n to_o our_o land-force_n and_o also_o a_o considerable_a annoyance_n of_o the_o enemy_n though_o not_o so_o much_o as_o they_o shall_v have_v do_v have_v not_o the_o wind_n unlucky_o come_v about_o from_o the_o westward_n to_o the_o eastward_o as_o soon_o as_o we_o be_v come_v to_o a_o anchor_n mounseur_fw-fr mountergis_fw-la as_o well_o as_o myself_o plain_o perceive_v that_o the_o enemy_n have_v very_o advantageous_o entrench_v themselves_o at_o every_o place_n where_o there_o be_v any_o possibility_n of_o land_v and_o there_o be_v also_o great_a number_n of_o foot_n draw_v behind_o their_o trench_n beside_o some_o regular_a troop_n of_o horse_n and_o as_o we_o be_v stand_v into_o the_o bay_n we_o see_v all_o those_o squadron_n of_o horse_n which_o be_v before_o draw_v up_o on_o the_o high_a land_n on_o the_o westside_n of_o the_o bay_n ride_v round_o as_o fast_o as_o they_o can_v to_o the_o design_v landing-place_n as_o soon_o as_o we_o have_v see_v these_o uncomfortable_a prospect_n mounseur_fw-fr mountergis_n go_v with_o all_o speed_n to_o acquaint_v the_o lieutenant-general_n therewith_o who_o be_v at_o that_o time_n with_o most_o of_o the_o land-force_n pretty_a well_o advance_v towards_o the_o bay_n the_o signal_n be_v make_v for_o the_o force_n go_v on_o shore_n as_o soon_o as_o i_o begin_v to_o engage_v i_o think_v our_o land_n force_v move_v towards_o the_o shore_n in_o great_a disorder_n and_o how_o it_o happen_v i_o know_v not_o but_z lieutenant_z general_n talmash_n with_o a_o small_a number_n of_o well-boate_n in_o a_o kind_n of_o confuse_a manner_n go_v on_o shore_n under_o a_o little_a rock_n on_o the_o south_n side_n of_o the_o small_a bay_n where_o they_o land_v and_o i_o see_v no_o prosecution_n of_o that_o regular_a way_n of_o land_v which_o my_o lord_n cutt'_v propose_v and_o be_v before_o agree_v on_o but_o have_v a_o great_a deal_n on_o my_o hand_n and_o so_o little_a assistance_n that_o i_o be_v force_v general_o to_o go_v on_o my_o own_o message_n i_o be_o able_a to_o give_v but_o little_a account_n of_o what_o be_v do_v close_o by_o the_o shore_n only_o that_o when_o i_o see_v the_o boat_n and_o small_a vessel_n in_o which_o our_o land_n force_n be_v embark_v have_v make_v their_o retreat_n from_o thence_o except_v such_o as_o stick_v fast_o there_o in_o which_o a_o great_a many_o man_n be_v kill_v and_o out_o of_o which_o other_o be_v take_v prisoner_n and_o some_o jump_v into_o the_o water_n endeavour_v that_o way_n to_o make_v their_o escape_n i_o go_v with_o my_o 20_o oar'dboat_n pretty_a close_a to_o the_o shore_n in_o hope_n to_o save_v some_o and_o have_v the_o good_a fortune_n to_o take_v up_o several_a before_o they_o be_v drown_v at_o the_o same_o time_n i_o have_v the_o opportunity_n to_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o disposition_n of_o that_o little_a bay_n the_o enemy_n just_o then_o make_v a_o run_a fire_n round_o all_o their_o trench_n and_o from_o every_o battery_n they_o have_v raise_v on_o this_o occasion_n and_o though_o they_o also_o fire_v ball_n at_o we_o it_o present_o show_v they_o mean_v it_o only_o as_o a_o signal_n of_o their_o victory_n but_o by_o that_o mean_v i_o easy_o discover_v how_o they_o be_v provide_v this_o be_v a_o sandy_a bay_n about_o 300_o yard_n in_o front_n and_o be_v natural_o easy_a of_o access_n and_o be_v flankt_v on_o the_o right_n and_o leave_v with_o strong_a earth-work_n and_o cannon_n and_o have_v a_o deep_a trench_n of_o communication_n from_o one_o work_n to_o the_o other_o front_v the_o water_n within_o less_o than_o half_a musquet-shot_a from_o the_o waterside_n but_o according_a to_o my_o poor_a judgement_n in_o matter_n of_o this_o kind_n the_o preparation_n they_o have_v make_v be_v such_o the_o great_a number_n of_o the_o troop_n both_o of_o horfe_n and_o foot_n which_o they_o have_v behind_o their_o work_n to_o sustain_v they_o consider_v it_o will_v have_v be_v altogether_o impossible_a have_v we_o have_v double_a our_o force_n to_o have_v execute_v our_o design_n our_o ship_n both_o at_o their_o come_n in_o and_o when_o anchor_v in_o the_o bay_n make_v a_o very_a vigorous_a fire_n upon_o the_o enemy_n for_o about_o 3_o hour_n but_o camarett-fort_n have_v such_o thick_a wall_n and_o our_o man_n be_v so_o undisciplined_a and_o such_o ill_a marks-man_n that_o i_o believe_v we_o do_v the_o fort_n but_o little_a damage_n though_o we_o occasion_v their_o man_n to_o run_v out_o of_o it_o twice_o and_o see_v their_o officer_n drive_v they_o back_o again_o but_o after_o that_o our_o man_n see_v the_o boat_n with_o the_o land_n force_n be_v repulse_v and_o force_v to_o retreat_n and_o the_o french_a battery_n fire_v still_o very_o vigorous_o on_o they_o and_o every_o moment_n some_o of_o they_o fall_v and_o many_o kill_v and_o wound_v great_a number_n of_o the_o ship_n company_n that_o be_v there_o both_o dutch_a and_o english_a run_v into_o the_o hold_n in_o spite_n of_o all_o the_o officer_n can_v do_v to_o prevent_v it_o as_o soon_o as_o i_o have_v dispose_v of_o the_o poor_a man_n i_o save_v from_o drown_v i_o go_v on_o board_n the_o charles_n galley_n again_o and_o after_o i_o have_v be_v there_o about_o half_a and_o hour_n i_o see_v the_o signal_n make_v for_o bring_v off_o the_o ship_n and_o according_o send_v to_o every_o ship_n to_o get_v off_o as_o fast_o as_o they_o can_v but_o the_o great_a difficulty_n i_o have_v in_o all_o this_o action_n be_v to_o effect_v that_o part_n for_o almost_o all_o their_o rig_n be_v cut_v to_o piece_n and_o most_o of_o their_o mast_n and_o yard_n disable_v so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o way_n leave_v to_o preserve_v they_o but_o by_o tow_v they_o off_o with_o great_a number_n of_o boat_n and_o we_o have_v but_o very_o few_o leave_v with_o this_o little_a squadron_n by_o reason_n almost_o all_o the_o boat_n in_o the_o fleet_n be_v force_v to_o be_v make_v use_n of_o for_o the_o assistance_n of_o the_o landforce_v so_o that_o boat_n be_v our_o only_a remedy_n and_o delay_n in_o get_v they_o of_o most_o dangerous_a consequence_n and_o fear_v a_o inferior_a officer_n may_v not_o be_v so_o speedy_o obey_v i_o be_v oblige_v to_o go_v myself_o after_o the_o pinnace_n and_o barge_n carry_v off_o some_o of_o the_o officer_n of_o the_o land_n force_n and_o disimbarking_a some_o of_o they_o force_n in_o as_o many_o of_o the_o boat_n as_o i_o can_v procure_v timely_a enough_o to_o tow_v off_o the_o ship_n the_o boat_n crew_n be_v very_o unwilling_a to_o go_v back_o to_o such_o a_o hot_a place_n notwithstanding_o i_o return_v with_o they_o and_o then_o not_o have_v enough_o to_o employ_v in_o tow_v off_o two_o ship_n at_o once_o i_o first_o clap_v they_o all_o to_o the_o charles_n galley_n she_o be_v the_o far_a advance_v into_o the_o bay_n and_o the_o most_o disable_v in_o her_o mast_n sail_n and_o rig_n and_o also_o her_o rudder_n have_v receive_v such_o a_o unlucky_a shot_n as_o make_v it_o whole_o unserviceable_a to_o she_o but_o by_o this_o time_n the_o shoreham_n who_o mast_n sail_n and_o rigging_n be_v not_o so_o much_o disable_v as_o the_o rest_n by_o the_o assistance_n of_o two_o or_o three_o boat_n get_v

of_o the_o bay_n i_o take_v all_o the_o boat_n from_o she_o but_o three_o and_o bring_v they_o back_o with_o all_o expedition_n and_o clap_v they_o to_o the_o monk_n at_o this_o time_n the_o dutch_a
