THE ENGLISH VOYAGES 



the beames of the Sunne, sailed unto Japhet with a small 

 company ; That the Christian Citizens there seeing this 

 his banner, might conceive hope that the King was yet 

 living, and being not easily terrified with the threates of 

 the enemies might shamefully runne away, or be con- 

 strained to yeeld up the citie. For hee knew that they 

 were very much out of hope of his life and safetie. The 

 Saracens seeing and knowing this his banner, that part 

 of them which environed the Citie by water made towards 

 him with twentie Gallies and thirteene shippes, which they 

 commonly cal Cazh, seeking to inclose the Kings shippe. 

 But, by Gods helpe the billowes of the Sea swelling and 

 raging against them, and the Kings shippe gliding and 

 passing through the waves with an easie and nimble 

 course arrived suddenly in the haven of Joppa, the 

 enemies frustrated of their purpose ; and sixe of the 

 Saracens were hurt and wounded by shot out of the Kings 

 shippe. So that the King entering into the Citie, and 

 nowe appearing in safetie in all their sightes, the spirits of 

 all them that mourned for him, and until then lamented 

 as though hee had bene dead, revived, because that the 

 head and King of the Christians, and prince of Jerusalem 

 was yet alive, and come againe unto them in perfect health. 



Mention made of one Hardine of England one 

 of the chiefest personages, and a leader among 

 other of two hundred saile of ships of Chris- 

 tians that landed at Joppa in the yeere of our 

 Lord God 1 1 02.
