sufficiency remitting all further I rest as I desire to remaine From Mount-hay Road July 2. 1642. Your affectionate friend to serve you For Sir William Saintleger Lord President of Munster FORBES The next day we had the winde west and west and by North much winde we lost part of our fleet viz. Captain Richardson and Captaine Thompson the younger We had the winde west very fresh and after tempestuous we lost sight of Captaine Clark who had brought us newes of the land he had made which was Dongarvan The winde South west and west South west thicke weather we saw the high land and at night we were only five left of our fleet Captaine Zachary left us the day before and so did Mr. Daniel Being Sabboth we kept as we might thicke weather and stormy the winde West South West one of our small vessels made land againe This day in the morning we discovered the head of Kinsale though our Rendevous were long in land on Baltamore-hay yet not able to fetch either we went in that morning to Kinsale where we found the Swallow and the Bonaventure of the Kings Captain Kettleby commanding in the Admiral Sir Henry Stradling in the Vice-Admiral the day grew foggy and rainy and such weather is very frequent in that cuntry and coast we went on free to the castle and spoke with the commanders there three companies we also found appointed in that Towne by the Parliament for a garrison there every where we had spectacle sad enough the greater part of the Towne Irish and under much just suspicion others fled thither living in miserable holes and huts there we found Captaine Zachary Richardson and young Thompson of our fleet there we spake with some of Bandon being 8. miles from Kinsale and with some of Corke also by which we intimated our arrivall thither came Sir Edward Denny by whom we heard of his defeat at Trelee where in landing he lost forty or fifty men and was forced to retreat and craved our aid My Lord Kynalmachy one of my Lord of Corks sons Governour of Bandon came to see my Lord Forbes and promised to come againe next morning to speake further for the attempting something about Bandon since God by his providence had called us to these parts who by his Letters desired helpe of us 13. This day my Lord Kinalmachy came early and then was a Sermon preached by the Preacher of our Fleete after which Consultation was taken to march with our men to Raph-barry where one Mr: Freake with many English were beseiged and in greate danger wanting Foode and Ammunition c. and wee being possest with our duty though six of our Vessells were not yet arrived not to be wanting in any thing wherein such Forces as we had might be usefull and not knowing Raph-barry to be further than five myles beyond Bandon we were willing to strech our mens leggs though we suppose wee marched neere 25. miles out right of English miles 14. We marched to Bandon with 8. Colours and about 600. men whereof 100. Seamen commanded by the Captaine of the Admirall this whole number went to the worke most cheerefully two small brasse Pieces and our Ammunition with some Victualls were brought up by our Barges neere Bandon and so by Cart brought to the Towne where that night we were received with much joy and great acclamations houses and hearts open unto us and the rather because with our Fleete the Parliament had sent that Towne a good portion of Ammunition and provision for the Towne there were 7000 Soules and many ministers and very many poore they had foure Companies of Foot and one Troope of Horse whereby they had not onely held their owne but had taken 4. or 5. Castles from the Enemy The Towne is walled about and a fresh river runs thorough it but commanded by the hils about it three gates it hath beyond what greater Cities have for statelines and strength the water abounding with Salmon and other fish is no small refreshing to the Inhabitants by which and Mr. Pennoyers care we found the Town in a chearfull way This morning we intended early to march but were hindred partly with our owne provision not comming early enough partly through want of horse and accommodations to draw our Cannon and Baggage so that we march'd that day but two miles from the Towne and when it was late in the day we were in some measure fitted for our march but we drew to Councell the next day being Sabboth what we should doe and it being considered what a burden we might be to the Towne so full of poore and some of our Officers urging the dishonour of retreating being ingaged that it was thought meet to proceed especially since we were intreated by my Lord Kinalmaky and Bandon thither to come and doe somthing for the enlargement of them and their comfortable saving their harvest and Macchanty Reugh threatning the beleaguering of them that weeke our marching into the Countrey might be very usefull that night we had some horse from Bandon and two Foot-Companies and in the safest order we could we continued that night upoin a boggy hill The next morning we set forward in a great fogg and resolved to leave an old English Towne called Clonotikelty on the left hand and so on to the reliefe of Rafe-Barry but upon the way some of Bandon advised us of a great prey of Cattell at that Town which we should misse if we stopt it not in our back-returne because the Countrey would soone be upon knowledge of our passing that Towne and heard of 5 or 6 hundred of the Enemy lying in the way the chiefe Leaders of them were Maccharty-Reugh Tiege Douning Adonovaut one Arundel and some others but we saw none though it seems we marcht close by their Cabins before we came to the Towne we found divers Irish whom before their death wee examined by whom we were informed that the aforesaid Army were bound for the assistance of my Lord Muskerry against my Lord Encheqine Sir Charles Vavasor and our Army at Mallo and glad we were that we might so divert them when we came to Clono●●kelty we made an halt and many were taken and slaine there we found store of Cattell which were put into a pen and after lesse than an houre we marched on the Towne having onely poore people in it but a common Rendevous for the Enemy and those that were not suddenly surprized went out of their houses and hid themselves in Corne and bushes and tops of houses we had not marcht out a mile out of the Towne but the Commanders of the Bandon Companies whose counsell we depended upon being strangers assured us that all our Cattell would be driven away before our returne by a company of people that attend every Army and Force that march out they call pillagers who though not soldiers yet with some light Armes they follow the Campe on horse and

worke but advising what next to doe 28. Was the Sabboth which wee kept on shore and appointed a Fast for the next Wednesday 29. More letters from my Lord Clinriccard to assure us of the pacification to which it was advised if hee would and secure it wee would depart but till the Fort was provided for we would there stay and lay our bones by the walls of the Towne 30. Our men were imployde to fetch more Timber for our batteries for want where of wee were much streightned having neere 40. Gunns on shore to fit with platformes This day Letters came from the Major to Capt. Willoughby concerning the pacification answering his objections and resolving to stick to what they had promised by my Lord Clinnriccard in the meane time great were our cares what to doe lying wind-bound all this time and that Country being so barren in comparison of other places that wee were forced to travell further to burne their Corne and Houses than in other places Captaine Richardson had his Arme broken unhappily by a Gunner and Boatson of the Artillery though after well cured and they both gaining their credit by choice Service wee sent to Donnel-O-Brian a friend for cattle 31. Wee kept a Fast 1. We had Letters sent from my Lord Clinriccard by Ensigne Scot that he himselfe was sicke but that Mr. Burk his Kinsman and his owne Steward should come to us and end all controversies betweene Fort and Towne we then tooke our guns aboard but very unwillingly our Seamen readier to fall on nakedly than forsake the worke and the souldier no way backward for this testimony I must give them both that they have exceedingly honoured their Countrey and the cause even to the equalling any of their Progenitors in valour and all manner of forwardnes 2. We grew weary of expecting Sir Charles Coot having promised to stay 8. or 10. dayes for him and therefore thought of a sudden departure principally because there came a messenger to us out of Limrick River of the sad estate of the Castles there since Capt. Constables departure which emboldened them to bring downe the great Gun the sight of which affrighted our English out of their Castles as witnes Asketon that stately Castle unworthily given up without receiving a shot and being inforced by Sir Edward Denny who was with us that Trelee had but 10. dayes granted for the delivery of that Castle which they had defended to admiration till they were forced to eat hides c. We had this day the Gentlemen from the Lord Clinriccard with papers and Propositions to satisfie the Captaine of the Fort they brought with them 24. Oxen and 60. sheepe which were the first two weekes provision 3. This day we had 3. or 400. Souldiers went downe in some Ships to the Iles of Arram where they did singular service took 300. head of Cattell destroyed many with very good houses burnt their corne and Townes and slew and hung many of the Rebels all this day we waited the signing of the Propositions Being late wee spent on shore Letters past betwixt the Fort and Towne we had an Armorer came into the Towne and went to Masse we tooke five prisoners some of note 5. We went aboard making all hast for Trelee the Captaine of the Fort and the gentlemen came aboard with all things issued for their particulars as also two men that were sent to view the Towne for mining which they had threatned to the Fort We left a Ship and two vessels and a Barge to attend the Fort and river and so most ready to depart A small vessell came on from Corke one Lambert Captaine who brought some more powder to the Fort from Corke assigned by the state of England into which went 50. or 60. poore people come out of the Castle in Thomand the which he carried for Corke 6. We set saile but could not get into Limrick River two or three of our Ships followed us 7. We were in like condition beating at Sea 8. Letters came aboard us at Sea from my Lord Clynriccard with Letters to my Lord of Essex 9. Wee got within Loops-head and came to an anchor neere Captain Crosbies Castle who preserved himselfe and some hundreds with him stoutly a very deserving man hee hung out a flag to us we sent on shore and brought him a-board whom wee furnished with necessaries who tould us wee were come too late and that Trelee Asketon Clare and other Castles were given up and assured us of the Victory of my Lo Enchaquin in Munster over Musgray and his Forces with the slaughter of many men and taking 3. peices of Ordnance which made the English flye to him expecting dayly to be massacred and profest hee had already 150. which would perish if wee provided not for them all which wee found true to our great griefe and trouble and that the Earle of Thomond was in great danger at Bonnatty 10. Early in the morning my Lord Forbes writ to Daniel-O-Brian uncle to the Earle of Thomond who had his Sonne Captaine of the Rebels and himselfe professing a newtralitie or withall the rest that hee was the Kings good Subject my Lord advised him to meet him at the Earle of Thomonds by this time our Fleete came togeather 11. Being Sabboth wee continued a-board resolving that night to goe up with 2. or 300. men to Bonnatty there wee found our Rere-Admirall and the French prize of 150. Tunne laden with Ammunition for the Rebells and taken there by our aforesaid ship whose owner is Sir Nicholas Crispe heere wee hung five of our prisoners formerly taken At this time there came abord us one Capt. Vsher who had a Castle neer us and kept it well by all such men we were given to understand that without a strong standing garrison in every Province and Country if it were possible little would bee done as they conceived because the poore English Inhabitants would bee expos'd to constant danger upon removall of flying Armies This River of Limricke promis'd most unto us of any place wee had seene both for Land and Water This night wee went up to Bonnatty my Lord of Thomonds Castle with 200. men 4. Barges 2. Barkes and 2 Shallops where my Lord kindly welcomed us and there his uncle Sir Daniel-O-Brian met us 12. Wee spent in consultations with the Earle who certified us with much greife that since the River was left without shipping divers Castles were taken whereby the Enemy had bin furnished with 800. Armes and six Barrells of Powder and the way they used was by bringing the great Gunne called the Roaring Meg towards the English Castles through dread of which the English yeelded this Gunne one of our ships through want of winde mist in Limrick River it being in a boat but tooke the Carriages in another and wee have log'd this Gunne in a Cricke with one of our ships attending it there being no meanes for them to carry it backe but by water This night Sir
