Newes from Sally OF A Strange Delivery Of Foure English Captives from the slavery of the Turkes Printed in the yeare 1642. Newes from Sally Of A strange Delivery of foure English Captives from the slavery of the Turkes ABout the beginning of October last foure English Ships the one from Rye the other from Bastable the third from Apsum and the fourth from Dartmouth being bound homeward from Rochell after a day and a nights sayle it was their fortune to meete with a Turkish man of War of Sally who being well provided with small resistance tooke them they being Merchants men and not for service carried them to Sally where after some few daies arrivall one of each Ship was sold to a Merchant of Argier for Slaves who having not opportunity of passage remained some dayes in Sally with his Slaves in which time hee gave order that Shackles should be made for each slave weighing fifty pound weight but the Lord most graciously delivered them after this manner viz. for being chained every night as the custome is to an Iron Bar untill their Shackles were made and in the day time imployd about the Towne they found meanes to speake with a Portugall slave concerning their escape who assured them that if they could conveniently get out of the town they might take their course along the sea shore and in three or foure houres they may recover a towne of the Spaniards not distant from that place above eighteene miles which having learn tthey imploy their best indeavours for their escape so that having gotten a peice of Clay and finding opportunity to make the impression of the key of their Prison in the aforesaid clay by which they made a wooden key and making tryall found that it would stand them in stead the night before they should have departed for Argier and that their shackles should have been put on having got a strong naile they begun about twelve a clock to tamper with the lock which held the chaine to the iron barre to which they were fastened but having spent two houres and not being able to pick the lock despairing of their purpose layd themselves down to sleep but God putting into the heart of Iames Cadman Master of that ship from Rye once more to assay the lock rose up and being next unto the lock at the very first triall opened it which having done opened the doore with the woodden key then comming to another doore they easily lifted it off from the hooks with an iron bar which they there found so likewise a third doore which lead them into the street But mark the wonderfull works of the Lord for all the time that this was a doing a dog continued barking in the house which their Patron and another Turk never heard although they lay the very next wall unto them So being come into the street the one having the iron bar the other an axe the third a staffe and the fourth an iron ladle such as they melt lead in they ran presently to the Towne wall and leaped downe without any harme it being eighteene foot high and so took their way towards the shore not meeting with any Scouts or Watch in all the way After which as the Portugall directed them they run along the sea-shore in far more danger of the wild beasts which use to haunt those places than formerly they were of the Turk their Master but God which delivered them out of the hands of the one saved them also from the jawes of the other For they met but with one wild Bore who so soone as he had set eye on them fled from them They did heare in divers places the barking of a small beast which usually followes the Lions by which they ghessed divers Lions were thereabout but met with none So with running by break of day they obtained the Spanish Towne where the Governour gave them noble entertainment and within the space of an houre took them into a Turret where hee shewed them 24 Turkish Horse-men which had pursued them but God be praised they were out of their reach The Iron Bar the Axe and the Ladle the Governour hanged up in the chiefe Church of the Towne in memoriall of their strange delivery So having occasion of passage for Cales they came away from thence and finding a Dover ship at Cales came for England where they now are to give God praise for their safe delivery FINIS
