<HEAD>A True Relation of Capt <HI>Kempthorn's</HI> Engagement, in the <HI>Mary-Ro&s;e</HI>; with &s;even <HI>Algier</HI> Man of War.</HEAD>
<P><HI>ANue</HI> 1669, in the beginning of <HI>December,</HI> His Excellency the Lord Amba&s;&s;ador <HI>Hanry Howard,</HI> having obtain'd from the Em|peror ot <HI>Barbary, Ta&s;&s;aleta,</HI> a Letter of Security, to his content, had re&s;olv'd to pro&s;ecute his Journey to the Court; to which end, he order'd his Baggage, and mo&s;t of his Retinue, to be Embarqu'd in the <HI>Mary Ro&s;e,</HI> which had Tran&s;ported him from <HI>England</HI>; and purpos'd him&s;elf, with &s;ome few of his Gentlemen and Servants, to the number of fifteen or &s;ixteen, to go by Land, and the Ship by Sea to <HI>Salee</HI>; re&s;olving, as &s;oon as we were under Sail, to begin his Journey al&s;o.</P>
<P>Thus accordingly we &s;et Sail on Wedne&s;day the eighth of the &s;aid Month, at two a clock in the morning, with the Wind at North-Ea&s;t, along the Shore of <HI>Barbary</HI>; and having pa&s;t <HI>Arzila</HI> that Evening, a&s;ter Midnight, we overtook a great Flyboat of 300 Tuns; and finding her to be an <HI>Engli&s;h</HI> Ve&s;&s;el, fraighted with Deal, Ma&s;ts, Salt, and Tobacco, coming from <HI>New-England,</HI> or tho&s;e Parts, and taken by the <HI>Algier</HI> Men of War off of the <HI>Cape St. Vincent,</HI> being bound for <HI>Cadiz,</HI> we took, and made Prize of her; and having found 22 <HI>Turks</HI> aboard her, and three <HI>chri&s;tians,</HI> one a <HI>Ru&s;sian,</HI> and two <HI>Engli&s;hmen,</HI> we tran&s;ported them aboard us, and &s;ent other Men aboard her; and having examin'd the Principal of them, found them to belong to a Squadron of <HI>Algier</HI> Men of War, who were Crui&s;ing in tho&s;e Seas: But the Prize being heavy loaders, and a bad Sailer (in&s;omuch that we were forc'd to tow her) did much prolong our Voyage, as that we could not arrive till Saturday at Noon before <HI>Salee</HI>: Yet that flowne&s;s did us a Courte&s;ie for that time, though a Di&s;courtefie afterwards; for having for the mo&s;t part of the Forenoon taken notice of a Barque keeping betwixt us and the Shore, and thinking her to be otherwi&s;e than &s;he prov'd afterwards, Captain <HI>Kempthorn</HI> &s;ent his Ketch to &s;peak with her In the mean time we arriv'd before <HI>Salee</HI>; and having hand&s;omly trimm'd our Ship with Pendants and other Ornaments, and ca&s;t Anchor, we Saluted the Town with 11 Guns, and receiv'd for An&s;wer, &s;ilence . However, we made ready for Landing; and fir&s;t the Steward onely, in a Pinace with another Gentle|man, rowed towards the Shore; and while that was doing, we &s;aw at a di&s;tance, that our Ketch had overtaken the Barque, and after a l<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter">ttle time of Conference let her go with di&s;charging ot a Gun; which Barque made with full Sails towards us, to our great admiration; till coming nearer, we pereceiv'd that &s;he bore the King of <HI>Englands</HI> Colors, and di&s;charg'd two Guns; Then we concluded, that it was &s;ome extraordi|nary Me&s;&s;age from his Excellency; therefore the Captain commanded to di&s;charge a Gun, and to make a Waft for tho&s;e who were roving to|wards the Shore, who &s;eeing that, turn'd back again, and came aboard. And the Ve&s;&s;el, being a Brigantine belonging to <HI>Tangier,</HI> having aboard her a Gentleman of Quality, and a Captain, with 40 Soldie<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter">, and 6 Bra&s;s Guns, did al&s;o approach, and deliver'd his Me&s;&s;age, which was, That we &s;hould not Land, but rather get aboard, if we could, ill tho&s;e who were a&s;hore before, with the Goods al&s;o, matters at <HI>Tangier</HI> &s;ince our departure being much alter'd; and had we not been retarded by the fore-mention'd Prize, this Me&s;&s;age would have come too late</P>
<P>However, we &s;tay'd there till Munday, and &s;eeing there could nothing be effected, in getting tho&s;e People aboard (becau&s;e they were deram'd) and a Storm being at hand forcing us from the Shore, we took the Sea; and having fa&s;tned the &s;aid Brigantine at our Stern, we Crui&s;el that night and the day following, in a Storm, far in the Sea, all the Men <GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 word"> the Brigantine being aboard her, and &s;uffer'd much. This evening we &s;a<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter"> two <HI>Turks</HI> Men of War afar off; and at night was a very great Storm, &s;o that we were forc'd to take all the Men of the Brigantine aboard us, and &s;uffer her to be ca&s;t away. Next day, the 15. the Weather continued: Toward evening we &s;aw again a <HI>Turks</HI> Man of War, chacing a <HI>Spani&s;h</HI> Ve&s;&s;l but having pereciv'd us making towards him, he fled: By and by we &s;aw Land, it being <HI>La Rotta</HI> on the <HI>Spani&s;h</HI> Coa&s;t; which we could not reach, the Storm blowing out of the <HI>Levant,</HI> but were forc'd to keep at Sea further off, and there to be to&s;s'd all that night and the day after. The 7 came to us a <HI>French Canary</HI> Man, bound for <HI>Cadiz</HI>; by and by, a <HI>Scotch|man,</HI> from the &s;ame place; We &s;aw al&s;o two <HI>Turks</HI> Men of War; there|fore tho&s;e two Ships came to us for Protection. Next morning at break of day we di&s;cover'd &s;even <HI>Turks</HI> Mer of War; and becau&s;e their Cour&s;e was towards us, therefore all po&s;&s;ible Preparation was made aboard us for the Fight, and all that might be hurtful, or hinder us, remov'd, and thrown overboard, and our afore&s;aid Prize for&s;aken, the Men taken a|board into the <HI>Mary Ro&s;e,</HI> and the Ship let drive before the Wind. The &s;ame day before noon the <HI>Turks</HI> pa&s;s'd by us; but neither Party attempt|ed any thing; yet our Preparation went on to the utmo&s;t of our power.</P>
<P>In the mean time, one of the <HI>Turks</HI> Ships, being a &s;low Sailer, and full of Men (being the <HI>Half-Moon</HI>) lagg'd about an <HI>Engli&s;h</HI> Mile behind the re&s;t; &s;o that they were forc'd to &s;tay for her, and to &s;end out two Boars Man'd to tow her. Our Captain &s;eeing that, who was near betwixt them both, &s;ent al&s;o a Boat with Men to intercept theirs, which caus'd a &s;mall Skirmi&s;h among them; but when we &s;aw that the <HI>Turks</HI> put out another Boat &s;trongly provided, our Captain commanded to make a Waft for our Man to come back again: After that, we &s;aw them to &s;tand clo&s;e together, no doubt, to con&s;ult what was to be done; and we &s;till preparing; &s;till about three a clock they began to charge, whereupon en|&s;ued a <GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 word"> Service, and much harm done on both &s;ides; but the night being at hand, they retired a little way, and there &s;tay'd till day, ob&s;erv|ing our Motion; and becau&s;e they &s;hould not think that we would run away in the dark, Captain <HI>Kempthorn</HI> commanded Lights to be &s;et out, that they might &s;ee where we were; and &s;o having taken &s;ome re&s;t the &s;ame night, early in the morning we were alarm'd again; and having perform'd Solemn Prayers, immediately every one repair'd to his Stati|on, for they were coming: And all things being well order'd, especially that every other Gun &s;hould be fir'd at every Ship, to pre&s;erve the re&s;t for the &s;econd; by which means, every one of the <HI>Turks</HI> Men of War re|ceiv'd a &s;ufficient oppo&s;ition. We had al&s;o, be&s;ides our ordinary Ships Crew, about 70 Land-Soldiers of <HI>Tangier,</HI> and about 4.0 of his Excel|lencies Retinue; in all about 250 Men.</P>
<P>Thus began the Fight with a great courage; and they coming in a Line from the Somh-Ea&s;t Quarter, the <HI>Half-Moon</HI> was the foremo&s;t; and ha|ving come within Pi&s;tol-&s;hot, gave us his Small-&s;hot, and his Broad|&s;ide, and receiv'd as much from us, and then having pa&s;s'd, bore off a little toward the Starboard, North-Ea&s;t; the &s;ame order kept all the re&s;t, the <HI>Golden-Lion,</HI> or Admiral being, in the Rere, with intention to board us: After we had receiv'd the&s;e five Broad-&s;ides, even as he was coming up, with more Sails &s;pread than the re&s;t, he receiv'd a Shot be|twixt Wind and Water, and another which tore his Main-Sail from end to end, and being thus di&s;abled, &s;tood off: His Companions &s;eeing that, tack'd about, and compa&s;&s;ing him round, went away fore the Wind with all &s;peed, which put an end to the Fight, God be thanked. The &s;eventh Ship all that while was pur&s;uing our Prize, by which means we had one Enemy the le&s;s. Thus we follow'd our Cour&s;e, having lo&s;t thac day in the time of the Fight our <HI>French</HI> Ship Companion, and the following night, the <HI>Scotchman</HI> and the Pink; which Pink having aboard a number of <HI>Jews, Armenians,</HI> and the like Companions, having during the Fight re|volted again&s;t the Ma&s;ter of the Ve&s;&s;el, endeavour'd to comply with the <HI>Turks,</HI> and having given &s;ome Signal, bore towatds them: they mi&s;tru&s;t|ing it to be a Fire-&s;hip, began to avoid; but our Captains providence hinder'd that De&s;ign. There were kill'd aboard us 11 Per&s;ons, 17 wound|ed, and the Ship; much dammag'd. The next day in the evening we ar|riv'd in the Bay of <HI>Cadiz,</HI> being <HI>December</HI> 30. <HI>S. V.</HI> 1669.</P>
