I fig Of Capt. ENGLAtlD. 



The Vice-Roy of Goa^ affifted by the EngHJh 

 Company's Fleet from Bombay^ did attempt the 

 Reduftion of CalUhay his principal Place, landed 8 or 

 loooo Men the next Year, the EngUjh Squadron oT 

 Men of War being then in thofe Seas ; but having 

 viewed the Fortification well, and expended feme 

 of their Army by Sicknefs and the Fatigues of a 

 Camp, carefully withdrew again. 

 , I return to the Pf rates, who, after they had 

 lent away the GalHvats People, refblved to cruife 

 to the Southward y and the next Day, between Goa 

 and Car wary heard (everal Guns, which brought 

 them to an Anchor, and they fent their Boat on 

 the Scent, who returned about two in the Morn- 

 ing, and brought Word of two Grabs lying at 

 Anchor in the Road. They weighed and ran. to- 

 wards the Bay, till Day-Light gave the Grabs 

 Sight of them, and was but juft Time enough to 

 get under Jndia Diva Caftle, out of their reach; 

 this difpleafed the Py rates the more, in that they 

 wanted Water ^ and Ibme were for making a D^€- 

 cent that Night and taking the Ifland, but it not being 

 approved of by the Majority, they proceeded to 

 the Southward, and took next in their Way, a 

 fmall Ship out oiOnnore Road, with only 2l Dutch 

 Man and two Portuguefe on Board. They fent one of 

 thefe on Shore to the Captain, to acquaint him, 

 if he would fuppSy them with fome Water, and 

 frelh Provifions, he fliould have his Ship again ^ and 

 the Mafter returned for anfwer, by his Mate Frank 

 Harmlefsy that if they would deliver him Poireffiou 

 over the Bar, he would comply with their Requeft; 

 the Propofal the Mate thought was collufive, and 

 they rather jumped into Harmlefs''s Opinion, (who 

 very honeftly entered with them,) and refblved to 

 feek Water at the Laccadeva Iflands ; lb having fent 

 the other Perfons on Shore, with threats, that he 

 fliould be the laft Man they wonld give Quarter
