TO THE READER.  
READER,  
THou shalt here receive a faithful report (by way of a journal) of all such occurrents as fallen out in the Voyage to Algiers. Those only that were remarkable are in this short discourse to be found, the slight ones are not worth, nor worthy of any publication. Dissigns of this nature managed by the directions of so many noble Gentlemen, a number of valiant Captains and well experienced Navigators, seconding the courages of the other, do for the most part fill the itching ears of the world, with more than a common expectation of strange things to be done, beyond the possibility of man. But if he that is so curious in his inquisition, had been but a personal adventurer in some of the dangers which we ran through, I make no doubt but he would confess he had seen enough, and undergone more than willingly he could wish himself to be acquainted with again. How our ships were furnished for men or munition; what several Captains and Commanders were in every one of them are here truly set down: the burden also of every ship, than the days and months are named in which any memorable act was performed, the towns likewise within in the straits of Gibraltar, before which our men of War did any service.  
And to make this Discourse the more pleasing to thee, such Spanish ships and galleys, besides Turkish Pirates, as we encountered with at Sea, shall appear sailing, in all their gallantry before thee. Imagine (as thou readest) that thou hearest the Canon playing, and Turks by hundreds tumbling into the Seas, our own stretching out hands to save a miserable number of poor Christians made slaves to the barbarous Turk & crafty Moor, but delivered from that servitude by us, God assisting our labours.  
Such men of quality as either died or miscarried in this Voyage, have here the names written down.  
But least the citing of particulars in this place, should alter the property of an Epistle, which (like the first day of a Term amongst Lawyers) should be spent only in compliment, and bidding thee welcome to this feast of news▪ I will no longer detain thine eye from longing for that, which my pains and observation have diligently collected to give thee content, which if here thou findest, it shall be to me some part of a recompense, for those stormy days and nights in which I have been in the voyage. So farewell.   

The Author to his book.  
ANd sith thou art not limbed with trees nor flowers  
Of Eloquence, but clad in white and black;  
Thou must prepare thyself t'abide the showers,  
Of them that of dislike occasion take,  
And when thou likeliest art to go to wrack,  
Seem not against them thine error to defend;  
But rather yield a little and give back,  
And pray them, that they will thy faults amend.   

The Preface to the Reader.  

MY true subject tending to entreat  
Of new done wars, and acts of chivalry,  
Whereby renowned Captaines much honour get:  
And with eternal praises now  
(Their names and fames) is forced to require  
Thee mighty Mars with art him to inspire.   

Whose fiery nature bend to wrath and thrall,  
As being of complexion hot and dry,  
Melancholic, and furious with all,  
(For in thy bones choler hid doth lie)  
Which rightly cause all Poets sound thy fame,  
And thee the God of wars in stories name.   

Sith than thou art of warlike influence,  
And that my style of battle must indite:  
Assist me with some marshal eloquence,  
That I may frame my hand and pen aright.  
With words of art and artificial phrase,  
Of valiant men to speak th'eternal praise.   

And if at my request thou deignest to list  
Or grant the thing which I of thee do crave,  
Yet for her sake that lovingly thee kissed,  
(Black Vulcan's wife) and further favour gave;  
Vouchsafe thy aid my lines so to infuse,  
That I therein fit terms and phrase may use.   

Else truth to say so barren is my wit,  
And void of aureat liquored eloquence.  
That I confess myself to be unfit,  
Or able to accomplish my pretence.  
But praying all that sect, with heart and mind,  
Not spare to speak, if any fault they find.   

And with good will I shall amend the same,  
(For many eyes may see much more than one.)  
Correct then freely where you find the blame,  
But find not fault whereas deserveth none,  
And so in hope I shall your favours win,  
With your support this story I'll begin.   
Yours or not his own I. B.

The Fleet thus furnished set sail in the sound of Plymouth the 12. of October in the morning, in the year 1620. the wind being variable we turned and towed into the Channel, the weather being very fair in the evening we steered along the Shore.  

October.  
THe 12. at noon we had the Lizard West, North West 4. leagues off, this day and the next night we had little wind.  
The 13. at noon having a fresh gale at North, North West, we making a South West way, the Lizard at noon bare North West and by North some 15. Leagues, the wind continuing as before we steered away South West and by South.  
The 17, in the morning we made Cape finister bearing of us East, South East some 13. leagues of.  
The 24. we had sight of the Burlings in the morning, the bearing of us South, South East 5. leagues the wind being then at South and by West, we stood of West and by South, having much wind and rain.  
The 28. we had sight of Mountchego, the body of it bearing East.  
The 29. we fell with the Cape of Spain, and haling near the shore saluted the Castle with our Ordnance, and they us: here our Admiral sent a shore to inquire for letters of advice which he expected, but found none: at night we set sail the wind being at North, North West, and the 30. at night we entered the straits.  
The 31. in the morning we turned into the road of Gibraltar, where were riding at anchor two of the king of Spain's ships of war, the Vice-admiral of a squadron with the king's arms in his foretop and another, who so soon as they perceived us weighed their Anchors, set sail, & coming Leeward of our Admiral, struck his flag, saluting him with there small shot & great Ordnance, after haled him with voices; our Admiral striking his flag, answered them with voices, gave them his orduce and small shot, all the fleet following in order: this done, we saluted the town with our Ordnance, the town doing the like by answering us. Our Admiral being at an Anchor, the Spanish Captain accompanied with other Gentlemen, came aboard our Admiral, who told us that there were great store of Pirates abroad, and that two of the Pirate's ships had fought with seven Spanish Galleys, and had slain them 400. men, and that they had been at Steria a small town with thirty sail of ships and ten galleys, and had taken it, and carried away diverse prisoners, and that they had threatened to take Gibraltar; there the Admiral sent his sick men a shore, having houses and lodgings provided for them, amongst whom was Captain john Fenner who here died.   

November.  
NOuember the second about seven in the morning having a fresh gale at North West, the Admiral with the rest of the fleet weighed Anchor and standing off, met North the rear Admiral of the Spanish fleet, who saluting us North his Ordnance and we stood on our course North East and by East, being bound for Malhaga.  
The third about two in the morning we came to an Anchor in Malhaga road, and about eight of the clock we saluted the town with our Ordnance and diverse volleys of small shot; here diverse Spaniards of account came aboard our ships whom we kindly entertained, here we likewise expected letters but hard not of any.  
The sixth our Admiral dispatched a Gentleman one Master john Duppa with letters to the English Ambassador at the Court of Spain, to let him know of our arrival and proceedings. This day about 11 of the clock, the fleet weighed Anchor and set sail the wind at North West. But before we weighed, our Admiral gave order to the fleet to divide themselves into three squadrons, the Admiral squadron was kept six leagues from the shore, with pendants in the main tops for their signs; the Vice-admirals' squadron three leagues without him, on his bow with pendants on his foretops; the Rear-admiral three leagues within him on his quarter with pendants on their Mysen tops, who dividing themselves according to their order steered away East and by South alongst the shore, being bound for Allicant.  
The seventh, about six in the morning it being calm, and all the fleet together, the Admiral took in all her sails and lay a hull, all the fleet doing the like, the Admiral put out his flag of general Council which was Saint George. Whereupon all the Captains and Masters repaired aboard him, where it was concluded, and thought meet that two ships of least draught of water, and one Pinnace should hale the shore close aboard to see if any Pirates were at an Anchor, either in Bays or Coves, and to free the shore; here likewise was given a word whereby to know our own fleet from others, if any strangers should chance to fall amongst us in the night, the word was Greenwich Tower. The Council ended, and every man repaired aboard his own ship, in the evening the whole fleet in their order sailed alongst towards Cap Degat.  
The eight and ninth days having but little wind we gained not much way.  
The tenth in the morning falling with the point of Muttrill, and having the wind Southerly, the whole fleet put into the road and there Anchored.  
The 13. about ten in the morning our Admiral shot of a warning piece, that all such that were of the fleet might repair aboard, and about four in the afternoon having affair gale at west, set sail and steered away East and by South.  
Th' 14. at nine in the morning we were thwart of Cap Degatt, the wind continuing Westerly we shaped our course North East and by East alongst the shore.  
The 19 in the morning we came to Anchor in Allicant road, where the whole fleet saluted the town with their Ordnance, and the town us: here our Admiral having provided houses for his sick men, as before he had done at Gibraltar, sent 37. sick men of his own ships company a shore, here likewise he dispatched a Gentleman one Master Walter Long to Carthagena with letters of advice, but all this while could receive no such letters as we expected.  
The 25. being fitted with Wine, Water, and other such necessaries as we wanted, the wind being Northerly, the whole fleet set sail, leaving behind the Good Will out of whom our Admiral had taken most of her men to supply his wants for those sick he left a shore, and being under sail we shaped our course South West for Algiere.  
The 27. about ten in the morning we came to an Anchor in Algiers road in 27. fathom water out of command of the town or Castle, the Admiral and Rear-admiral wearing white ancients on their poops, the rest of the fleet wearing no ancients at all, going in the whole fleet slatuted the town with their Ordnance, but the town gave us none again: this day it blew much wind, our Admiral could send no Boats a shore where we road, we had the Cape some six miles of West, North West, the 3. miles of West, and Mount Defourt East, North East about seven or eight mi●●s of.  
The 28. our Admiral sent a Gentleman a shore one Captain Squibe with a white flag of truce in his boat to give the Viceroy to understand the cause of our coming; hereupon the Viceroy sent a boat aboard our Admiral with a white flag and four men in her, one principal man in the town who delivered our Admiral, signifying the Viceroy had received command from the grand Seignour to use us with all respect, and that our men might have the free liberty of the shore to buy fresh victuals or whatsoever they wanted; they promised our Admiral if on the morrow he would send any Gentleman of quality a shore with the king's Majesty's letters, that upon the shooting off a piece of Ordnance according to our Admiral's demand he should receive sufficient hostages aboard for his safety: this night the Pirates brought in three prizes, one Fleming, the other two Englishmen, the one a Plymouth man, & the other of North Yarmouth.  
The 29. in the morning our Admiral sent Captain Squibe a shore again with letters, importing as well a speedy dispatch, as also to give them notice what pledges he demanded for such Gentlemen as were then ready to go a shore with his Majesty's letters: about four in the afternoon, our Admiral shooting off a piece of Ordnance according to promise sent Captain john Roper in his Barge, accompanied with diverse other Gentlemen of quality to carry the King's letters to the Bashaw & Duana, but before they got a shore word was brought them that the Principal of the Duana were gone into the Country, and that the pledges were not ready, but the next morning they should not fail, whereupon they returned a board again, this day towards the evening there came in 3. sail of ships, the winds blowing fresh at South West.  
The 30. the Admiral called a general Council of all the Captains and Masters in the fleet where it was debated, whether the fleet might ride in safety or not, till we had concluded our business here, it was generally concluded that by God's providence we might ride without hazard.   

December.  
DEcember the first, in the morning the wind at South West fair weather, came in eight sail of ships, and one sail, whereof some were Turk's Pirates, other Pirates, this day the Admiral sent a shore one Master james Friswell to expect our business, for whose safety we received four Turks for hostage: this day in the afternoon came in two ships.  
The second in the morning went out four sail of Turkish Pirates, the wind at South west a fresh gale, this day the Admiral sent Captain john Roper a shore with his Majesty's letters, and two principal men of the town were sent a board in hostage for him.  
The third came six of the king of Spain's ships into the road, the Admiral striking his flag saluted our Admiral with small shot and Ordnance, this done, he came aboard our Admiral in his boat, and told him he came in pursuit of certain Pirates who had taken diverse of their men, who being in a ship of 700. tuns near Carthagena in fight with a Turkish Pirate, had boarded her, entered her men and taken her, had not there own ship unfortunately fallen on fire with a mischance happening, they were forced to forsake the Turks ship to save their own, and so lost both for being not able to quench the fury of the fire were forced to yield themselves to the slavery of the Turks to save their lives, being in all 300. men, whereof 30. perished in the fire. This Spanish Admiral sailing near the town the Turks 74. great shot at him, and he gave them some 16. back in exchange, but the distance between them was so far, that the shot falling short, no harm was done on either side.  
The fourth, our Admiral received from the town an answer of the King's letters.  
The sixth, after long debating, finding the Turks perfidious and fickle, as well in detaining our messenger who delivered his Majesty's letters, notwithstanding we had sufficient hostages for him, as in breaking all other promises: in the end it was agreed thus, upon leaving a Consul with them, they would let our messenger come aboard again; whereupon the Admiral sent a common man well clothed by the name of a Consul, whom they received with good respect & sending our messenger aboard, received their own pledges, and delivered us some 40. poor captives, which they pretended was all they had in the town, this was all we could draw from them.  
The seventh in the morning our Admiral sent a letter with instruction to our Council, with another letter to the Bashawe, to let him know how ill we took his perfidious dealing.  
The eight in the morning our Admiral and all the rest of the fleet weighed Anchor and set sail the wind being West, we steered away North till noon, and then bearing up, shaped our course North East and by East, being bound for Calerie.  
The 10. day at night the wind shifted to the South and East, and so to the East.  
The 11, in the morning the wind Easterly the Admiral altered his course, and steered for May lorka.  
The 13. at night having the wind West we came to an Anchor in the Bay of Port Columbra, a Bay on the South side of May lorka.  
The 14. in the morning we weighed, and the same night came to Anchor in the Road of Alacotha on the North side of the said Island, we found this to be a very good place, yielding us wood, water and ballast, whereof we had great need, the people very kind and courteous bringing us great store of all manner of provisions which we bought at easy rates, whereby we supplied our wants, and relieved our sick men whereof we had great store in our fleet.  
The 24. in the morning the fleet weighed Anchor and set sail the wind at West, South West, the weather thick and rainy till noon, and then clearing up, the wind shifted to the South, South East we sailed out by the North East end of the Island.  
The 25. about nine at night came eight or nine sail of Turks into our fleet, whom so soon as we discovered, we chased them and made diverse shot at them, but by reason it was a dark night, and that they sailed better than our ships, they escaped us.  
The 26. about three in the after noon we put into Alicant Rode, hoping there to receive letters of advice, else some news of a supply of victuals out of England, but miss both. The 27. at night the Rear-admiral's squadron went out to Sea in pursuit of two Turks Pirates, who had not taken above three hours before two Flemish ships, the Flemings quiting there their ships, saved themselves in their boats.  
The 29. the Rear-admiral returned but saw no Turk.  
The 31. there was great joys, triumphs, and solemn processions in the city of Alacant for joy of a great overthrow which was given to the king of Bohemia.

IAnuarie the first, the Rear-admiral put to Sea again with his squadron upon the discovery of some ships in the Offine who proved to be English and French bound in for the Road of Alicant.  
The second the Rear-admiral with his squadron returned into the Road.  
The fourth at night the Constant Reformation and the Golden Phoenix had order to go to Sea to seek two Pirates ships which we heard were on the Christian shore.  
The fifth at night the Constant and the Phoenix returned into the Road again, but met not with any.  
The sixth the Vice-admiral with his squadron set sail for Malhaga to see if they could here of any news of a supply of victuals or whether the two Princes which were long expected were come thither.  
The 12. Master john Duppae came from Carthagena, bringing with him a packet of letters of advice sent out of England bearing date the 14. of December, he signified that there was six months' victuals sent out of England for a supply of his Majesty's ships, and that they were at Malhaga with the two Pinnaces, this night the Rear-admiral with his squadron was sent to Sea to see if he could meet with certain Pirates which we had entelligence of.  
The 13. the Reformation the Samuel and the Restore put to Sea, to see if they could meet with any Pirates.  
The 18. the Reformation with the other ships returned into the Road, where we found the rear-admiral with his squadron likewise returned but met no Pirates.  
The 21. there came a flemish boat with 15. Fleming's in her aboard our Admiral, who being chased by the Turkish Pirates off, of Cap Martin, left their ship and saved themselves by their boat, this night was the Anthelope with other ships sent out to see if they could meet with them.  
The 24. the Anthelope with the other ships returned into the Road, but met with none.  
The 25. our Admiral being invited to the English Consuls house, went a shore, where at his arrival he was entertained with small shot and Ordnance both from the town and Castle, and at night with fireworks, running of horses, shooting of Ordnance and other sports, this day Captain john Roper was dispatched with letters for England.  
The 26. our Admiral returned aboard the town giving him a friendly farewell with their Ordnance.  
The 27. the Admiral with the rest of the fleet set sail, leaving the Marmaduke behind, whose Captain and Master were both sick a shore.  
The 28. at midnight we met with seven sail of Fleming's ships of war near Cape Paul under the command of Captain Haughton Admiral of Zealand, who the next morning after he had saluted our Admiral with Ordnance, came aboard in his boat, he told our Admiral he had 22. ships of war under his charge, whom he had divided into squadrons, employing them some without the straits, and some within.  
The 30. we had very much wind at South West, but the weather being cleared we turned to windward till four in the after noon, and then it blew so hard that we were forced to bear up the Helm and put room for Alicant road.  
31 We came to an Anchor again in Alicant road.   

February.  
FEbruary the first the Rear-admiral put to Sea with 4. ships, to see if he could meet with any Pirates, and this day died Captain Eusabey Cave Captain of the Hercules, and the Admiral disposed the command of the same ship to Captain Alexander Bret.  
The 5. the Rear-admiral returned with the other 4. ships but had met none.  
The 6. the wind being Easterly, the fleet weighed Anchor about midnight, shaping our course for Malhaga, during the time of our staying here we refreshed our sick men a shore, having convenient houses provided for them in the fields Gardens with careful people to attend them, providing them such necessaries as they should need. The Constant for her part sent a shore 92. persons, who as they recovered their strength were sent for a board, yet notwithstanding all their care at their departure they were forced to leave behind them 42. desperately ill, the Admiral taking order both for them and others, that they should be carefully provided for until the fleets return.  
The 9 in the evening being a thwart Malhaga we were in the morning put to lee ward of our port, the wind blowing hard at East.  
The 10. we kept it up windward what we could but the storm increasing, all the king's ships lost their long boats.  
The 11. we were forced to bear up for Gibraltar where the same day we came to an Anchor in the Road all, the Golden Phoenix and the Restore who recovered Malhaga.  
The 12. our Admiral dispatched letters to Malhaga to the Vice-admiral to let him know that he and the rest of the fleet were put into Gibraltar, willing him to repair thither with the rest of the ships with him if the wind should continue Easterly, but if it came Westerly, than the Admiral purposed to go to Malhaga.  
The 16. came into the Road the Vice-admiral and his squadron with the two Pinnaces which we so long expected out of England, the one the Mercury of the burden 240. tuns, 65. men, and 20. pieces of Brass Ordnance, under the command of Captain Phinice Pet; the other the Spy, of the burden of 160. tuns 55. men, and 18. pieces of Brass Ordnance, under the command of Captain Edward Gyles: there came also two Merchant's ships with a supply of victuals for his Majesty's ships.  
The 18. the Zouch Phoenix, the Hercules, the Neptune and the Spy put to Sea, with order to ply between Gibraltar and Shut point.  
The 19 the Anthelope put to Sea, and with those ships which went out the day before, had order to ride in Shutie-Rode, to see if they could descry any Pirates come into the straits.  
The 23. the Rear-admiral put to Sea with 5. other ships, the Golden Phoenix, the Samuel, the Centurion, the Marigold, and the Restore, with order to ride in Tansey Bay, where they were to attend the coming in of diverse Pirates whom we hear to be without the straits mouth: this day came in a Brigandine from Shutie, who brought our Admiral word, that those ships which had put out the 18. had taken a prize.  
The 24. the Anthelope with the rest of the ships returned bringing with them a prize being a small Frenchman which had 50. butts of Oil in her, and diverse Moors and jews, men, women and children, passengers bound from Tituon to Algiere, all the Turks saving themselves in their boat: this day also came into the Road Captain Gyles Pen in a ship of Bristol from Tituon Road, bringing a letter from the Mogoden to our Admiral, and two Moores who treated with him concerning the redemption of their people whom our ships had taken, offering for so many Moors, so many English, whom they held in town as slaves, having bought them of the Turks Pirates.  
The 27. the Samuel and the Centurion returned into the Road from Tansey, them also went out the Anthelope, the Zouch Phoenix, the Barbery, the Neptune and the Restore, with order to ride at Shutey to see if they could discover any Pirates coming into the straits, the wind being Westerly.  
The 28. the wind likewise Westerly, the Reformation having taken in some of the captives, had order to weigh and set sail for Tituon to treat with the Moors, and to take in her company the Samuel, the Bonaventure, and the ship of Bristol, where the same day about noon they came to an Anchor in the Road of Tituon in 12. fathom water, the wind at West.   

March.  
THe first, there came into the Road to us our Admiral, the Mercury, the Spy, the Wind at West.  
The second in the afternoon came certain Moores aboard our Admiral, delivering him a letter from the Mogoden, importing that on the morrow they would bring down all the English slaves, whom they would exchange for their own people.  
The third at twelve of the clock came two Moors, men of quality, a board our Admiral, to let him know the Mogoden was at the water side; whereupon the Admiral sent Master Edward Clarke Secretary of the Council of war to treat with him, who returned the same night without effecting any thing to purpose.  
The fourth, Master Ashfield, Minister of the Reformation died, much lamented of the whole company, of whom in the extreme of their sicknesses they had received much comfort.  
The fifth, having a fair gale at South East, our Admiral with the rest of the fleet weighed Anchor and set sail for Gibraltar having concluded nothing with the Mogoden.  
The sixth we came to an Anchor in Gibraltar Road, where we found our Vice-admiral with his squadron.  
The 8. the wind Westerly the Anthelope, the Samuel and the Spy set sail for Tituon.  
The 9 in the morning the Admiral, the Reformation, the Mercury, and the Barbery set sail for Tituon, leaving the Vice-admiral with his squadron behind in the Road, who had the wind at West, South West, but bringing the straits mouth open found it all Southerly, a hard gale with a stiff currant setting to the Eastward, the Reformation got that night into Tituon Road, where they found the Anthelope with the other ships.  
The 10. about ten in the morning the Mercury came into the Road, but the Admiral and the Barbary being put to lee ward, and not able to turn it up, bore up to the helm for Malhaga, this day also in the morning Captain Penne being over confident of the Moors faith and promises, with whom he had along time traded, went a shore without cautions, whom the Moors made stay of, hoping thereby the better to recover their own people whom we held captives.  
The 11. the wind being Easterly, we all set sail to Malhaga, the Bristol ship only staying behind to see if they would send down their Captain, who had done them many kind offices to our Admiral, in coming twice with his ship from Tituon to Gibraltar, only to treat with our Admiral on their behalf, and at their request; being out of the Road we met with the Primrose, whom the Vice-admiral had sent unto us to let us know that he was gone for Malhaga.  
The 13. we came to an Anchor in Malhaga Roade, where we found our Admiral with the rest of our fleet all but the Good Will, who coming out of Gibraltar with the Vice-admirals' squadron had lost their companies in the night, I in the time we spent here, the fleet took in some Beereage, Wine, some Wood and Water.  
The 28. about eight in the morning the Admiral, and Rear-admiral set sail for Alicant, leaving behind the Vice-admiral with five other ships, the Reformation, the Samuel, the Centurion, the Bonaventure, and the Restore, for to attend the conquest of a remainder of a supply of victuals which was to come out of England.   

Aprill·  
THe 2. my Captain, Captain Arthur Mannering died, a gentleman of an excellent temper, not easily moved to passion, though many time's occasion hath been purposely offered, he mastered his affections with that discretion that he gained love even from his enemies; in his private command he could so well mix clemency with severity together, that he was both feared and loved, so seriously searching into the mystery of his new profession, that he would soon have equalled the best Captain, both for judgement and command: & his death bred a general lament in the whole fleet, and some alteration in the sway of most curious business, the wheel ever since turning with the violent motion of a self willed mover.  
The 10. hearing no news of our supply of victuals, the Vice-admiral with the other five ships set sail for Alicant the wind West ward.  
The 14. about three in the afternoon we came to an Anchor in Alicant Rode, where we found our Admiral with the rest of the fleet: here our Admiral had hired a Pollacre about the burden of 120. ton, for that she was reported to be an excellent sailor, and likewise bought three Brigandines which rowed with nine oars on a side: he also hired a house wherein he made diverse works for the firing of the ships within the Mould of Algiere.  
The 18. Sir Henry Palmer and our Admiral's order removed out of the Anthelope into the Reformation, and Captain Alexander Bret into the Anthelope, and Sir Thomas Wilsad was made Captain over the Hercules: this day also, myself for some respects removed into the Centurion, notwithstanding I received many good persuasions from Sir Henry Palmer to continue where I was.  
The 21, we received letters out of England by a post sent from Malhaga, signifying a remainder of victuals which we expected was arrived at Malhaga.  
The 25. about nine in the morning the whole fleet sail for Alicant Road, being bound for Firma terra to supply our wants for wood.  
The 28. in the evening having fitted ourselves with wood, we set sail for Mayorke to take in water.  
The 29. in the afternoon we came to an Anchor in Mayorke Rode. The town of Maiorke is large and well fortified, the people industrious both men, women and children given to labour, loving and courteous to strangers: here we found all manner of victuals in plenty and at easy rates. Their chief Merchandise are Oil, Wood, and Cheese, whereof the country affordeth plenty.   

May.  
Having taken water at three in the morning upon shooting off a warning piece, the whole fleet weighed Anchor and set sail for Algiere, the wind Easterly a small breath.  
The 21. at 6. in the afternoon we came to an-Anchor in Algiere Roade, order being first given by our Admiral how every ship should birth herself: the manner followeth; first the King's ships and the Golden Phoenix came to an anchor at their place upon a South and Northline, the Admiral riding in the midst of them, East of the South end of the Mould. Next to the Admiral on the North side came to an anchor the Reformation, the Golden Phoenix on the South, the Convertine on the Southside, the Phenixe and Anthelope on the Northside the Reformation, the Vide-admiral innermost on the Southside, the Rear-admiral uttermost on the North side.  
The king's ships having berthed themselves, the rest of the fleet who this time plied up and down under sail, came to a Stern to the Admirals of their squadrons, giving good berthes one to another, the wind being then Westerly: but if the wind had been Easterly, then were they to have been anchored a head between the King's ships and the Eastern shore, keeping the King's ships and the Phoenix between them and the town, where the force of the Pirates remained.  
The ships being come to an anchor in their orders, our Admiral caused six of the Merchant's ships presently to weigh, with directions to ply off and on of the Westermost part, keeping as near the shore as conveniently they might, to prevent the coming in of any Pirates between the fleet and the shore. In the beginning of this night the Boats and Brigandines appointed for the assistance of two ships which our Admiral resolved should that night go into the Mould, and there to set themselves on fire, being chained and linked to the Pirates ships, repaired aboard our Admiral there to receive their directions. The manner and preparations for firing of the ships was thus.  
First, there were two small ships which we had taken from the Turks, the one of the burden of an hundred tons, the other of sixty, with great store of fireworks in them. There was laid in them plenty of dry wood, wood of Ocham, Pitch resin, Tar, Brimstone and other materials fit to take fire: they had likewise in them Chains and Grapnels of iron to fasten themselves to the ships which they were to fire: they had also boats to bring off their men when they had fired the ships: then were there three Brigandines fitted with fireballs, buckets of wildfire, and fire pikes to make their fireworks fast unto the ships: there was also a Gundlod fitted with fireworks, Chains and Grapnels of iron; she was to go into the midst of the ships in the Mould, where fastening her to some ship, was to be set on fire. She had likewise with her a boat to bring off her men. Likewise there were seven boats which we called boats of rescue, well filled with armed men, who were to rescue and relieve the boats of execution if they should chance to be pursued by other boats or galleys at their coming off. These had also fireworks in them to fire the ships which road without the Mould: these boats being all aboard, the Admiral sent for most of the Captains and Masters in the fleet to advise whether it were fit to attempt it with boats and Brigandines, in regard it was little wind, and that Westerly, so that it was impossible for the ships to get in. After some deliberation, it was concluded that it was not fit for that the surest and most certain means of firing was by the ships which were to be made fast to the ships in the Mould, and to burn with them. Whereupon it was deferred for that time till a fitter opportunity was offered.  
The 22. at night there were like preparations made, but deferred for like reasons.  
The 23. in the beginning of the night we had a fresh gale of wind at South by South west continuing the space of two hours or more, with thunder, lightning, and some drops of rain: the two ships weighed, and with the Brigandines and Boats set forwards towards the Mould, but the wind shifting before they came near, they were forced also to give over for that night.  
The 24. at night after a great shower of rain, we had the wind out of the Bay at Sourh, South West, the weather then clearing up, both the ships and boats advanced themselves toward Mould as before they had done: but coming within less than Musket shot of the Moulds head it fell calm, so that the ships could by no means get in, the Boats and Brigandines finding that they were discovered by reason of the brightness of the Moon which was then at full, and hearing it reported by a Christian captive which did swim from the town the night before to the ships, that the Turks had left their ships without guard saving one or two in a ship, as fearing no such attempt from us. And moreover hearing the Alarm given to the town by those which ktpt watch on the walls, with good resolution went on, but wanting wind to nourish and disperse the fire, the fireworks took no effect at all. In this service were only six men slain out right, four or five dangerously hurt (which not long after died) and some thirteen slightly hurt, yet notwithstanding the attempt was given under the walls of the town, where both small shot and Ordnance played continually upon them: the hurt done our men was their coming off, for that they were got into the Mould before the town was risen, and being in, the ships in the Mould defended them both from small shot and ordnance of the town, our boats still keeping the ships between them and the town.  
The 25. there came in four sail of Pirates by the Wester most point of land notwithstanding 6. ships were appointed to lie off at that place, for the wind being Westward and a great currant setting to the Eastward, our ships were put so far to leeward that they could not prevent the pirates coming in between the shore and them, but yet the Bonaventure loosed so near that there passed some shot between her and the Pirates ships, but no hurt done: this night our Admiral and the whole fleet weighed Anchor and stood off to the Sea.  
The 26. the fore part of the day the wind was shifting to and fro, from the Southeast to the South-west; in the afternoon at South, and South Southeast hard gale and rainy weather; and at night having the wind shifting at South and South-west, we played off and on all night by a wind.  
The 27. we had a fresh gale at West, and west Northwest, and this evening we saw two ships to wind-ward of us, but what they were I know not.  
The 28. We had fair weather the wind Westerly, this night the Bonaventure and the Hercules put a Pirate a shore, he having a hundred and thirty Turks in her, and twelve poor Christians captives, they were all drowned but twelve Turks who got the shore by swimming.  
The 30. we got into the Bay and Anchored three miles off the town, and in turning in, the town and castle made 15. great shot at the vanguard, the Rainbow, and two other, Merchant's ships, but did no hurt.  
The 31. in the morning our boats took up two Genoese captives, who adventured to swim from the town to the ships. They told that the same night our ships stood off to Sea, there came into the Mould seven of the best ships belonging to Algiere, and that if we had stayed they had fallen into our laps. They likewise told us that the Turks had Boomed up the Mould, so that it was not possible for either ship or boat to get in to fire the ships, which were now filled with armed men, besides three galleys and 15. boats which lay continually well fitted without the Mould before the Boome for a Guard.   

june.  
THe second our ships that were appointed to ply it too and again before the Road, took a ship off of the Eastern point of the Bay, which came from Legorne and was bound for Algiere for trade with diverse Merchants jews in her, and a Fleming who had diverse letters from the Prince of Orange and the States, both to the Bashaw and Duana: she was laden with Venice cloth, Legorne dishes, and diverse other commodities: there was also found in her two or three thousand pound in ready money: this morning the weather calm, three galleys rowed out of the Mould by our ships, at whom we made diverse shot, but few or none did reach them they were so far off. At night they returned to the Mould a gain. During the time of our ships riding before the town we sent every night certain boats which kept watch between the town and the fleet, as well to give the fleet Alarms upon all occasions, as to take up and save such poor Christian captives as should adventure to save themselves by swimming from the slavery of the Turks: which boats saved diverse both Spanish, French and Dutch, by whom we were certainly informed as well of the Booming up of the Mould, as of the drowning of an hundred and thirty Turks.  
The fourth, finding those relations to be true, and that there was no possibility of doing any more service upon the Pirates at that time, upon the shooting off a warning piece from the Admiral, the whole fleet set sail for Alicant.  
The eight in the morning we came to anchor in Alicant Rode, where we found Captain john Roper who was returned out of England with letters from my Lord Admiral, and order for the present discharging and sending home of four of the King's ships, that is to say, the Vanguard, the Rainbow, the Reformation, and the Anthelope.  
Here we stayed till the thirteenth day in which time we refreshed ourselves with water and fresh victuals, and sold away the priczes which we had taken, paid our debts which we owed at our former being there, for provisions for the fleet; here our Admiral discharged the Pollacre which he hired: here also he delivered seven & twenty Turks a shore for their ransoms to Signior Imperial Consul for the English.  
The thirteenth about ten at midnight the Admiral shot off a warning piece, whereupon all the fleet weighed Anchor and set sail for Malhaga.  
The sixteenth, we met with twelve sail of Flemings of Cape Legat, whereof five were Holland men of war under the command of Captain Quash, the rest Merchant's ships.  
The 21. the whole fleet met at Anchor in Malhaga Rode.   

july.  
THe third in the morning it was signified to the Admiral and the Council of War under the Masters and Officers hands of the Lion, that she was so defective that she could not any longer be continued out, without eminent peril of perishing, whereupon it was thought fit and resolved, that notwithstanding my Lord Admiral's order was to send home the Vanguard she should be continued out till the next supply of shipping, and that the Lion should be sent home: whereupon our Admiral with his provisions presently removed into the Vanguard, and Sir Richard Hawkins into the Lyon. Here we also dismissed by our Admiral's order Zouch Phoenix, the Marigold, the Primrose & the Restore, sufficient reasons by the Masters being given, that they were unfit for longer service.  
The fifth, I removed myself into the Reformation, having got passage for England.  
The sixth having taken in our remainder of of victuals, some Beverage, Wine, Water, and Oil, the whole fleet set sail having a small breath off the shore North West, got no further than the Molena point.  
The seventh, having little wind that while, and currant against us, we gained little or nothing.  
The eight, the Reformation and three or four other ships got at Virgerow-Rode, where they came to an Anchor, the Admiral and the rest of the fleet not gaining any thing, were fain to Anchor at Malhaga point, the wind at West South West fair weather.  
The tenth, about eight in the morning a fair gale springing all North East, the fleet set sail our Admiral bound for Cales.  
The twelfth, the whole fleet being come within three or four miles of the town of Cales, the Vice-admiral, Rear-admiral, and the rest of the ships bound for England, took their leaves of the Admiral and the rest of the fleet, four or five hundred pieces of Ordnance being discharged on both sides for a farewell, the Admiral with his company stood in for Cales, the Vice-admiral and the rest of the ships stood off to Sea, the wind at South West, and by the West.  
The fifteenth and sixteenth we had little wind and that variable, but so thick a fog both days, we could hardly see two ships length from us.  
The seventeenth in the morning the weather reasonable clear, we had lost sight of all our fleet, but the Anthelope and the Marigold, and having Cape Saker North, North East some four leagues of, and the wind Northerly a hard gale we came to an Anchor in the Bay, here we Road until the three and twentieth, all this time the wind blowinng at North, North West very stormy.  
The five and twentieth the wind arsed against the Sun to the West, South West, the Cape bearing East thirty leagues off. The eight and twentieth we lost sight of the Anthelope and Marigold in the Latittude of 41.32. leagues off the shore.
