Holler delineauit et sculpsit A True Relation of Capt Kempthorn's Engagement in the Mary-Rose with seven Algier Man of War ANue 1669 in the beginning of December His Excellency the Lord Ambassador Hanry Howard having obtain'd from the Emperor ot Barbary Tassaleta a Letter of Security to his content had resolv'd to prosecute his Journey to the Court to which end he order'd his Baggage and most of his Retinue to be Embarqu'd in the Mary Rose which had Transported him from England and purpos'd himself with some few of his Gentlemen and Servants to the number of fifteen or sixteen to go by Land and the Ship by Sea to Salee resolving as soon as we were under Sail to begin his Journey also Thus accordingly we set Sail on Wednesday the eighth of the said Month at two a clock in the morning with the Wind at North-East along the Shore of Barbary and having past Arzila that Evening aster Midnight we overtook a great Flyboat of 300 Tuns and finding her to be an English Vessel fraighted with Deal Masts Salt and Tobacco coming from new-New-England or those Parts and taken by the Algier Men of War off of the Cape St. Vincent being bound for Cadiz we took and made Prize of her and having found 22 Turks aboard her and three christians one a Russian and two Englishmen we transported them aboard us and sent other Men aboard her and having examin'd the Principal of them found them to belong to a Squadron of Algier Men of War who were Cruising in those Seas But the Prize being heavy loaders and a bad Sailer insomuch that we were forc'd to tow her did much prolong our Voyage as that we could not arrive till Saturday at Noon before Salee Yet that flowness did us a Courtesie for that time though a Discourtefie afterwards for having for the most part of the Forenoon taken notice of a Barque keeping betwixt us and the Shore and thinking her to be otherwise than she prov'd afterwards Captain Kempthorn sent his Ketch to speak with her In the mean time we arriv'd before Salee and having handsomly trimm'd our Ship with Pendants and other Ornaments and cast Anchor we Saluted the Town with 11 Guns and receiv'd for Answer silence However we made ready for Landing and first the Steward onely in a Pinace with another Gentleman rowed towards the Shore and while that was doing we saw at a distance that our Ketch had overtaken the Barque and after a l●ttle time of Conference let her go with discharging ot a Gun which Barque made with full Sails towards us to our great admiration till coming nearer we pereceiv'd that she bore the King of Englands Colors and discharg'd two Guns Then we concluded that it was some extraordinary Message from his Excellency therefore the Captain commanded to discharge a Gun and to make a Waft for those who were roving towards the Shore who seeing that turn'd back again and came aboard And the Vessel being a Brigantine belonging to Tangier having aboard her a Gentleman of Quality and a Captain with 40 Soldie● and 6 Brass Guns did also approach and deliver'd his Message which was That we should not Land but rather get aboard if we could ill those who were ashore before with the Goods also matters at Tangier since our departure being much alter'd and had we not been retarded by the fore-mention'd Prize this Message would have come too late However we stay'd there till Munday and seeing there could nothing be effected in getting those People aboard because they were deram'd and a Storm being at hand forcing us from the Shore we took the Sea and having fastned the said Brigantine at our Stern we Cruisel that night and the day following in a Storm far in the Sea all the Men 〈◊〉 the Brigantine being aboard her and suffer'd much This evening we sa● two Turks Men of War afar off and at night was a very great Storm so that we were forc'd to take all the Men of the Brigantine aboard us and suffer her to be cast away Next day the 15. the Weather continued Toward evening we saw again a Turks Man of War chacing a Spanish Vessl but having pereciv'd us making towards him he fled By and by we saw Land it being La Rotta on the Spanish Coast which we could not reach the Storm blowing out of the Levant but were forc'd to keep at Sea further off and there to be toss'd all that night and the day after The 7 came to us a French Canary Man bound for Cadiz by and by a Scotchman from the same place We saw also two Turks Men of War therefore those two Ships came to us for Protection Next morning at break of day we discover'd seven Turks Mer of War and because their Course was towards us therefore all possible Preparation was made aboard us for the Fight and all that might be hurtful or hinder us remov'd and thrown overboard and our aforesaid Prize forsaken the Men taken aboard into the Mary Rose and the Ship let drive before the Wind. The same day before noon the Turks pass'd by us but neither Party attempted any thing yet our Preparation went on to the utmost of our power In the mean time one of the Turks Ships being a slow Sailer and full of Men being the Half-Moon lagg'd about an English Mile behind the rest so that they were forc'd to stay for her and to send out two Boars Man'd to tow her Our Captain seeing that who was near betwixt them both sent also a Boat with Men to intercept theirs which caus'd a small Skirmish among them but when we saw that the Turks put out another Boat strongly provided our Captain commanded to make a Waft for our Man to come back again After that we saw them to stand close together no doubt to consult what was to be done and we still preparing still about three a clock they began to charge whereupon ensued a 〈◊〉 Service and much harm done on both sides but the night being at hand they retired a little way and there stay'd till day observing our Motion and because they should not think that we would run away in the dark Captain Kempthorn commanded Lights to be set out that they might see where we were and so having taken some rest the same night early in the morning we were alarm'd again and having perform'd Solemn Prayers immediately every one repair'd to his Station for they were coming And all things being well order'd especially that every other Gun should be fir'd at every Ship to preserve the rest for the second by which means every one of the Turks Men of War receiv'd a sufficient opposition We had also besides our ordinary Ships Crew about 70 Land-Soldiers of Tangier and about 4.0 of his Excellencies Retinue in all about 250 Men. Thus began the Fight with a great courage and they coming in a Line from the Somh-East Quarter the Half-Moon was the foremost and having come within Pistol-shot gave us his Small-shot and his Broad-side and receiv'd as much from us and then having pass'd bore off a little toward the Starboard North-East the same order kept all the rest the Golden-Lion or Admiral being in the Rere with intention to board us After we had receiv'd these five Broad-sides even as he was coming up with more Sails spread than the rest he receiv'd a Shot betwixt Wind and Water and another which tore his Main-Sail from end to end and being thus disabled stood off His Companions seeing that tack'd about and compassing him round went away fore the Wind with all speed which put an end to the Fight God be thanked The seventh Ship all that while was pursuing our Prize by which means we had one Enemy the less Thus we follow'd our Course having lost thac day in the time of the Fight our French Ship Companion and the following night the Scotchman and the Pink which Pink having aboard a number of Jews Armenians and the like Companions having during the Fight revolted against the Master of the Vessel endeavour'd to comply with the Turks and having given some Signal bore towatds them they mistrusting it to be a Fire-ship began to avoid but our Captains providence hinder'd that Design There were kill'd aboard us 11 Persons 17 wounded and the Ship much dammag'd The next day in the evening we arriv'd in the Bay of Cadiz being December 30. S. V. 1669.
