A TRUE RELATION OF EVERY REMARKABLE CIRCUMSTANCE IN RELIEVING OF TREDAGH BY Captaine Thomas Steutevile Also the Copy of Sir Phelome Oneal's Commission for the establishing of Colonell Richard Plunket Lievetenant Generall of Lempster and Vlster Together with the distresse of the whole Kingdome and other passages of note Printed by J. R. for C. M. 1642. A true Relation of those passages which happened unto Captain Thomas Steutevile unto the Town of Droghedagh else Tredagh from the ninth of January unto Wednesday the 19th day of the same together with his releeving the Town ON Sunday Captain Stutevile late in the night set saile having with him the Swan two Friggots one Gubard and two long Boats And going along the Coasts the Captain sent out of the Swan some Musqueteers to the Sherreis where he found the enemy fled but had left behinde them much goods which being all taken aboord by them they set the Town on fire and with it got above 500 l. worth of Corn. Then returning unto their Ship on Tuesday they came safe to the Bar of Droghedab where Captain Stutevile with his five small Vessels loaden with victualls and Ammunition put over and went up the River not without much danger the Rebells having made a kinde of a Block-house upon the entrance into the River whereon they had planted two Peeces of Ordnance and all along in Trenches within both sides of the River were placed Musqueteers and he being not able to passe but continually within Musquet-shot of either for two myles together his Ordnance but seldome availing him any thing by reason of the heigth of the shore above him yet God be thanked he got la●e within the Town with his Vessels without the losse of a man he having with him 124 Musqueteers besides Ship-men But to expresse the joy of the Souldiers in the Town requires a quicker Genius than mine own or at least one that had felt their wants The Rebells supposing that there would be such joy and tha● by reason of the Souldiers now having store of victualls they would altogether drown themselves in security as it is thought dealt under hand with some Centeries that were on the Walls and brake in at a place where there had been a Shallop-Port so that two might come with stooping low on a breast in at which 't is certain 500 got and marched a great way into the Towne untill at last one of their chiefe Captains was perceived by a common Souldier of ours to turn a Peece of Ordnance that stood upon the bridge towards the Town The Souldiers seeing this shot and kill'd the Captain and gave the Allarum Whereupon our Souldiers gathered so fast that they wholly discovered the Rebells and had the killing of 160 of them and took prisoners 40 some escaped through the place they came in at and others over the Wall yet many brake their necks at that sport some one hundred is thought to be yet in Town hidden in Papists houses and is confessed by some of the Housholders that were found faulty that way that it was intended by the Townsmen to have cut the throats of all the Officers that lay in their houses upon this assault But God be thanked in all this we lost not one man And on Thursday Captain Steutevile set forth out of the Town and came with lesse danger than before to the Bar where he was on ground and was forced to stay for want of water for the Tyde being spent he lay in a manner dry the rest of the Shipping forsaking him whereupon the enemies came down thinking to have taken him and his Ship but he layd about him so well that he killed 20 of them yet they not contented with this but like desperate villains got underneath the stern of the Ship some 30 of them where he could do them little hurt and there they be-laboured themselves with a Pick-axe and a crow of iron and brake the Ship almost through wherupon he threw some 6 Granadoes amongst them and they finding themselves fewer by six by reason of them and many of themselves to want plasters about the thighes and shins and the seventh cast thought their heels their best safegard leaving behinde them some pikes and swords one Target Pick-axe and a crow of iron Then he finding himselfe quit of them the next Tyde hoisted up sayls and came in this day safe into our Town of Dublin but we cannot hear any certainty of the other Vessells that forsooke him only we fear that by reason of the winds they were driven Northerly THE Copy of
