Hand-Pumps, and feveral pair of Standards brought 

 out of the Cajfandra^ to relieve and frrengthen her y 

 but obferving the Indi^erency bf the Fleet, chofe' 

 rather to chafe than run • and thought the beft 

 Way tofave themfelves, was to pl^ at Bullbeggar 

 with the Enemy : So they came up with the Sea 

 Wind, about Gun-Shot to Leeward, the great Ships' 

 of the Fleet a-head, and fome others a-ftern j

 aiue their Courfe all Night, which they did, and 

 found them next Morning out of Sight, excepting

 Keffels fomething like the Feluccas of the Mediterranean, 

 andhoiftsy like them^ triangular Sails. ^ They bore down, 

 which the Ketch perceiving, tranfported her Peo-

 Day they chafed another Gallivat and took her, 

 being come from Gogo^ bound for CalUcut with

 they put her Company into the Boat, with nothing 

 but a Trylail, no Provifions, and only four Gallons 

 of Water, (half of it Salt,) and then out of Sight 

 of Land, to ftiift for themfelves.
