Zante forcing the Turkish Gallys to retreat The Captain Basha was kill'd with a great shot upon which the Army broke up and retired to Canea The Vizier in his march from Canea to Candia past by here and with admiration beheld the place but would not attempt any thing against it saying it was not worth the men which had been already lost against it The Port is very commodious being one of the largest in all these Seas and there is very good anchor-hold all over the Bay. At the bottom of which are salt panns The Turks have here a small Tower where are two or three servants of the Customer of Canea to see that no goods are carried away which have not paid Custome at the City In time of peace they have all provissions from Canea at the market price and there is a good Correspondence betwixt the Inquisitore of Suda and the Basha who often send letters to one another The Governor of Suda hath the title of Inquisitore Generale delle Isole di Levante Cerigo and Tine being also under his Government altho' there are Providetors to both The Venetians have no benesit from these Islands but are at a continual charge to maintain the Garrisons in each The bottom of the Bay they call Cullatte A Relation of a Storm and great Deliverance at Sea in a Voyage from NEW ENGLAND IN the year 1683 I embarqued aboard the Rose Friggot Captain William Phipps Commander with my Brother Mr Edward Randolph who was sent to new-New-England with the Quo Warranto against the Charter of the Colony of the Massathusetts Bay. About the 12 of September we departed from the Downs and in 5 weeks arrived in the Port of Boston which is the Principal Town of all New-England Upon our arrival a Court was called to consult how they should proceed and it was carryed in the general that they should defend their Charter at Law and resolved they were to defend it which was all the answer that my Brother could get from them So he resolv'd to Embarque upon the first ship bound for England which was a small Pink called the Adventure John Balston Master belonging to new-New-England The 12 of December we imbarqued several other Passengers were with us viz. Captain Mark Talbot Son of the present Earl of Tirconnel who came by land from New York to Boston Mr William Wharton Mr Robert Johnson and 4 or 5 men more with three women one being with child near her time having with her two small Children About 9 of the Clock in the morning we weighed anchor and with a fresh N Wt. wind got clear of the land by Sun set The wind continued favorable several days and gave us hopes of a prosperous and quick passage When we were got to the height of the Western Islands our Master order'd a New main Sail to be brought to yard which proved too wide by two cloaths or breadths of Canvas so it was again taken down and first fair day it was fitted and brought to the yard The winds were veerable for several days and the nearer we came to the Channel we found a great head Sea i. e. a Sea coming against us which made us fear we should find Easterly winds About the 20th of January we judged our selves to be about 100 Leagues to the Westward of the lands-end The wind came up at East and continued for two days very stormy so as we could not carry any sail abroad but were drove to and fro' at the mercy of the sea whose waves were grown to that height that we feared we should have been swallowed up in them The 23d the wind abated we saw a ship which was to Leeward of us and made signs to speak to us so we boare up and coming to Lee-ward of them found it was an English ship called the President which came from the East-Indies and had been beating i. e. striving against the wind above 6 weeks in the Channel We came so near as we durst venture when they begged of us for Gods sake to spare them some provision for they were ready to perish And notwithstanding the seas run so high yet did they adventure to hoise out their Pinnace with which 8 men came aboard our ship representing to us the miserable condition which they were in being 80 persons aboard who for a months time had lived on a pound of bread for a week and a pint of water a day each man most humbly did they begg that we would spare them some provision otherwise they must of necessity perish So our Master gave them about 100 l of bread a Barrel of Bear and promised them that he would not go from them but if the weather were moderate he would supply them next day with what he could well spare All that night the wind encreased as next morning both the President and we were forced to hand all our sails and hull lye with our head to the wind without any saile The 25th we lost sight of the President and the storme increased still more and more The 26th about 4 of the clock in the afternoon a sea broak upon our ship which carryed away the wasts of the ship i. e. that part of the sides above the upper deck even with the upper deck from the quarter deck to the fore Castle the Boate Capstern Windess and Sheat-anchor were washt away my Chest was fast at the one side of the Cabin door Mr Robert Johnsons at the other were both washt away The Master immediatly ordered the mizane-mast to be cut down the better to keep the ship before the wind the sea had a free passage into the hold between the Timber heads i. e. topps of the ribbs of the ship to stop which we imployed our blankets and ruggs continuing to pump with both pumps and all little enough to keep our ship above water none in the ship but were wet and washed several times by the sea Never was a longer night seen to any of us and the whole night we were imployed to keep the pumps going fearing all our endeavours would prove vain About 4 in the morning one of our Pumps did suck which was the most comfortable news we could then expect but yet we were not free from fears least the Seas should wash away those ruggs which we had stoped in between the timbers Sleep was quite banish't from our eyes all that night and when the morning appeared which was welcomed with our great thanks to Almighty God for the sight of another day we endeavoured to make a stronger resistance against the seas finding that the continual working of the sea had almost washt away our ruggs and what means to use our confused thoughts knew not But God put into our Masters mind the two peices of Canvas which our main-saile was over charged with which he order'd to be brought up and when we had well forc't in the blankets and ruggs then we spread the Canvas over it nailing
