Travels into thehEv an r. 
water from Zagonan to Carthage, many of the Arches whereof are flill Hand- 
in the Road to the Camre, as we faid before. The Ruines of Carthage fignifie 
but little, being only heaps of Stones, andfome places under Ground, where 
there are great Ciîlerns ; nay, from thefe Ruines they daily carry away Marble 
and other Stone?, for their Buildings in Tunis^ and the Country Houfes about. 
We came to the Sea-fide, about three a Clock in the Afternoon, and being '^ot 
on board, we flayed ftill there all that day, becaufe our Captain had fome 
Bufinefs to do with him that Commanded at Goletta, concerning the dues that he 
is to have from every Ship. Next morning, Thnrfday the feven and twentieth 
of A^arch^ we fet fail with a good South-eall Wind, fleering away North- 
north- weft^ but about Noon the Wind flackened a little, and the night fol- 
lowing it turned Northerly, which made us put back- again to the Road of 
Goletta, where we arrived on Fnday the twenty eighth of Marchj about ten 
a Clock in the morning. % 
Saturday the nine and twentieth of March, the Wind veered about to North- . 
eaft, and the night following \ve had all forts of Winds: At length, Sunday 
the thirtieth of March, we had a gentle Gale from South-wefl, and an hour 
after day we fet fail, fleering our courfe North, but about ten a Clock we 
were becalmed, and about Noon it blew a breez from North, which within 
an hour after changed to North-eaft, and an hour after that to Eaft j fo that 
we ftill kept on our Courfe. Two hours within Night, the Wind turned 
South-fouth-weft, and we flood away North-north-eaft. 
Monday morning, the one and thirtieth of March, we were becalmed, and 
continued fo till Tuefday, the firft of Afril, when about ten a Clock in the 
Morning, we had a fmall Gale from North-weft, and we fteered away Weft, 
towards S<ï?-^//«z^, In the Evening, two hours after Sun-fet, the Wind turned 
E ifterly, and we ftood our Courfe again North-north-eaft ; in the night-time 
w'e had a calm, which lafled all next day, Wednefd^y the fécond oï April'. 
However, it always blew a little breez, fometimes one way, fometimes ano- 
ther, though the Sea was ftill fmooth and calm. In the Evening, from the 
Maintop head, we made a Sail off of Sardinia, which followed its Courle, as 
we did ours Northward, with a gentle Gale from Eaft. We were becalmed 
in the night-time, and continued fo till next day, the third of Jpril, when 
about nine in the morning, it ble;w a breez from South-weft, which within 
half an hour after, changed into a 'Yfronger Gale from Eaft ; and we continued 
our courfe Northwards. We had a calm again about Noon,which lafled till next 
day, Fn^?<3)/ the fourth of April, when about eight a Clock in the morning, it 
blew a gentle South-eaft Gale, which about Noon turned full South, and about 
three or four a Clock next morning, it blew a good frefli Gale from Weft ; 
half an hour after,we difcovered a Polaque a-ftern, and clofe up with us, which 
made very quick way. We called to him Alarga, and turned all out and ftood 
to our Arms, At length he failed by to the Windward, within a Piftol Ihot 
of us,which our Captain obferving commanded a Broadfide to be fired at him,but 
the chief Mate diiluaded him, telling him that if he was a Corfair, his Con- 
forts C who probably could not be far off) would hear the noife of the Guns, 
and fo come up with us ; in the mean time, he made very great way. Here- 
upon various Judgments paft : Some faid they were Spaniards, who would have 
furprifed us. Others, that it was one of the Polaqms, that Trade betwixt Xf- 
gorn and Sardinia for Cheefe, and fuch like Commodities, and carrying but 
three or four Men, they might have been afleep, and fo did not fee our ^hip. 
But moft part thought it was a Prize taken by the Barbary-men,which they fent 
into Barbary ; feeing when they paifed by us, they called Cbaban,'\Nho wasReys of 
zTmis Man of War then out at Sea, taking our Ship (perhaps) for Chaban 
Keys his Ship. About three a Clock in the morning, we pafted Sardinia, and 
all that we could fee of the Land, for two days fpace that we failed along the 
Coaft of it, were only very high Mountains. And now we were got into the 
entry of the ftreight that is betwixt Sardinia and Corftca ; there the wind blew 
fo frefh, that we made above feven Miles an hour, which was a great deal for 
fuch a heavy Ship as ours. We kept our Courfe ftill Northward, and about 
ten a Clock in the Morning made Monte Chrifio, a little after Elba, and on the 
other fide Corjîca, and then we fteered North-north-weft About eleven a Clock in
