TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE LORD VAIN, One of his MAJESTY'S priv●● Council of his High Court of Admiralty. RIght Honourable, in S●●tember last was twel●● month, I redeemed m●● self prisoner from Sal●● being sent out Mast●● and Pilot in a Sally ma●● of war, with twenty●● one Moors and five Flemish rennagadoes, un●● the coast of England to take Christians, brough●● them into the Isle of Wight under the command of Husk Castle, where I was detained●● a Pirate, and sent to Winchester with the re●● till we were tried by the Law, then coming to London very bare, I found much favour at your Honour's hands; For which I must ever rest engaged, and have no way to testify my thankfulness more, than by presenting this my poor endeavour to your Honour: which if you please to accept and consider of, may be a means to relieve more as you have done me; for my only son is now slave in Areire, and but ten years of age, and like to be lost for ever, without God's great mercy and the King's clemency, which I hope may be in some measure obtained by your Honour's means, and then your poor suppliant shall be ever bound to pray for you and yours all his days, and ever rest at your command, JOHN DUNTON, Mariner. A FLEET OF SHIPS Set out by his MAJESTY against the Turkish Pirates and Pirates of Sally in january 1636. JOHN DUNTON went aboard his Majesty's Ship the Leopard at Chatham the 26 of january, to see her v●ctualls and provision taken in for th● Voyage; and the tenth day of February following, his Majesty's Ships had all the● victuals and provision shipped aboard, and were ready to set sail, but the wind was not good, for it wa● against us, and at North-east, and at East North-east until the 13th day of the said February in the morning at 8 of the Clock we broke ground to set sail with the said Ship the Leopard. And we did warp● the same Ship to his Majesty's Dock at Chatham, an● there did ride till the 14th day of the said February i● the morning, and then at daylight we did make wa● to warp the said Ship down over the Chain, th● weather then being calm, and no wind stirring● And as soon as we were down over the Chayn● with the Ship, we had a little wind Northerly, s● we sailed down to Gillingham, and there came t● an Anchor in six fathom water, for the wind was against us at Nore and Nore North-east, and we did ride all night until the 16th day of the same February in the morning at ten of the Clock, at which time we set sail with the wind at South Sea-west, and did get up as far as the west end of the North, and there came to an Anchor and road all night till the 17th day in the morning at daylight, and then we set sail and at noon we came to an Anchor in Tilbery hope, and there did ride to get Seamen to man our Ships, and gather our Fleet together, and stayed for nothing but a wind. And the 24th day in the morning, we set sail from Tilbery hope with the wind at West and little wind; and the 26th day of February at two of the Clock in the afternoon we came to an Anchor in the Downs, in eight fathom water, with the wind at West Nore West, March 4th and there we did ride until the 4th day of March in the morning at six of the Clock we set sail out of the Downs with the wind at Southeast, 6th a fine gale of wind: and sailing along the Coast of England until the sixth day of March at noon we departed from the Southermost land of England called the Lizard in Cornwall, and set our course for the Coast of Spain with the wind at East North-east. And I will not be too tedious to set down every point what course we did steer, and every day how the wind was, because I will make it as short as I can, and sailing alongst the Coast of Spain with a fair wind, and sometimes a contrary wind, we did not see a sail nor a ship all the way, but one small carvil, and short of the Northern Cape, we had much wind at South-west, and West northwest, and the 12th of March in the night betwixt twelve an● one of the Clock our Rear Admiral the Hercule●● bore her Main Mast by the board; and we were●● fain to leave her, and we staying by her all night un● till the next day, our General asked the Captain●● what he would do, and he told him that he would●● go for Lisbon to set a new Mast, so we took ou●● leave of him, and steered away our course; and tha●● carvil we saw we could not speak with her, for sh●● was too Windward of us. It was the 19th day of March that we did see tha●● carvil, and so sailing alongst the Coasts until the●● 21 of March in the morning at daylight we did se●● the South Cape of Spain, and were fair by the land●● by six a clock in the morning; and so steering awayle our course Southeast for Sally in Barbary, and the 2●● of March in the morning, we saw the land at noonery we made the Town of Momora; and at night wee●● came to an Anchor in 27 fathom water, two leagues●● off the shore before Momora, and there did ride al●● night until the 24th day of March in the morning we●● set sail at ten of the clock with little wind at Nor●● Northwest, and at 4 of the clock in the afternoon▪ we did come to an anchor in Sally Road in 33 fathoms water, right before the new town of Sally. And our● Captain and General having the command of all● the Ships, sent some unto the Southward, and some● unto the Noreward; and we riding in the middler right against the Castle, and before the Harbours● mouth, that Ships should neither go in nor out, so we● dispersed all our Ships over all the Road of Sally, that neither ship nor boat could pass in nor our, for our ships and boats did lie under the Castle every night close under the Harbours mouth the watch. The 26th of March our General sent his Letter ashore to the Governor of New Sally to demand our King's Majesty's subjects, 26th. and Christians, and satisfaction for ships and goods, and for all those Christians that they sold away both to Argier and other Countries before we came there; which did trouble them very much, and move their patience. And in a bravado they refused to send our General an answer; whereupon we perceived, and looking well about us, we went roundly to work with them another way which they expected not, as you shall know hereafter. It was Gods great mercy that we did come into the Road so soon as we did, for they had made ready all their ships to go for the Coast of England, as it was credibly reported of some Christians that were slaves ashore that did steal away out of the Town, and came swimming aboard the Leopard, they were most Frenchmen, and some Spaniards, and they told our General, that the Governor of New Sally sent for all the Captain Runnagadoes, and commanded all the Captains in New Sally that they should go for the Coast of England, so near the shore with their ships, and hoist out all their boats, and go ashore and fetch the men women and children out of their beds, had not GOD of his great mercy prevented them, but we coming so suddenly into the Road upon them before they knew of any ships that our gracious King had at Sea, or any such intent to send a Fleet of Ships upon the Coast of Barbary, and they were grown to such a height of pride, that some English Merchants and men ashore told the G● vernor of new Sally, that they were the King of En●lands Ships, he said, what care I for the K. of Englan●● Ships, or all the Christian Kings in the world, a●● not I King of Sally: but we made him sing another song in a short time after, for we went to workewi●● him another way that he dreamt not of. The 2●● of March at three of the clock in the afternoon the●● did come in a Sally man of war from Argier wi●● passengers, and going close aboard the North sho●● as near as she could steer for running ashore, w●● and the Antelope did shoot above 100 pieces of On●● nance at that ship, we shot through and through h●● and over her, and into the town. It was such a gr●● Sea that we could not sink her, but we met w●● her in the Harbour, and sunk her within amongst●● rest, as will appear in a short time afterwards, a●● we did come to an anchor hard by the Castle, 〈◊〉 the Castle did shoot at us, and we did shoot at●● Castle, into the Castle, and over it, and thro●● it, and into the town, and through the town, 〈◊〉 over it, and amongst the Moors, and did kill a g●● many of them. The 29th of March, the Governor of the town did send our King's Letters of peace aboard our General, and did desire a peace with our K●● for they are out with the new town, and many ●●ters passed betwixt the Saint and our General, an●● in a short time after our General did make a pe●● with the Saint, for the old town was so terrified 〈◊〉 the rogues in the new town, for we saw them in fi●● all day ashore one with the other, and a great 〈◊〉 men and horses were killed and hurt on both sides, the old town set up a white Flag of truce upon their walls for our boats to come ashore to see what they would have, so our General caused five or six of our boats and shallops to be manned with good small shot, and our boat with our King's Colours therein went a shore, and they told our men they lacked a Surgeon. Our Cockson having order from his General to take in two of the best of them and bring them aboard the Leopard for pledges, and sent our Surgions-Mate ashore, and in a short time, he cured all their hurt men, that were curable, at which the Governor and all the Moors in the old town did much rejoice, and were very diligent unto us; and all those rogues in New Sally were very crop●icke, and much discontented at our being ashore, and so conversant with them, and called them and us English-dogges, and did say amongst themselves that they were all turned Christians, and railed upon them and us, shooting with their great guns at them and us continually; and they of the new town had built a bridge over the River upon boats with Deal boards to march over to the old town with horse and man with many thousands, and were fully resolved to take the old town into their own possession, had not we prevented them, but in a short time after, we made them pull up their bridge, break their Camp, and go their ways home and fortify their own walls and Castles, for they found their hands full of us. April the 5th our peace was concluded with the Saint our friend, April 5. this Saint's name was Siddy Hamet Allilash, he is a petty King of the old town, an● some other towns in Barbary, as Barbary is in muc● trouble and much wars one with another, but ● will be now better: For the King of Morocco dot● now go abroad to wars himself, he was abroad this Summer with 40000 men horse and foot, an● was coming to Sally, but the Saint our friend prevented him, for he did burn up all the Corn upon the ground round about the Country, that the King could have no provision for his men and ho●ses, and by that means he could come no near Sally, than within thirty leagues, and so he was fai● to retire home again with fire and sword grammi● all the Country wheresoever he went, and put the● all to death. The 9th of April we did see a sail off at Sea, w● did give her Chase until night, and lost her, w● did go into the Road again, for she was so ● windward of us, that we could not fetch her. The 11th day in the morning we saw two shipp● we did give them Chase all day, they were so fa● off at Sea, and night was coming on, and then w● lost them. The 18th day of April, the Hercules our Rear Admiral did come into Sally Road from Lisbon, a● had set her Mast again. The 20th day of April, the two towns of S● were in fight very hard one against another, and 〈◊〉 kill a great many men on both sides, we did sta●● and look upon them in our ships as they wer●●● fight, we riding at an Anchor, and could not re●● them with our Ordnance, they were ashore. The next day being the twenty-one of April the Moors in the old town did hang out a white Flag for our boats to come ashore, 21th. and our General did send two of our boats ashore to the old town with the King's Colours in our boats, and as soon as our boats did come to the shore side, there were many Moors would have come aboard: Our men did take in three of the best of them, and they told our General that he should have all the old ●owne at his command, as Castles, Forts, and Guns, and men, and all to lay siege and battery against the new town at his service, or any thing else in the town, for the King of England's sake, so in a short time after, our General did send our Master-Gunner and one of my chief Mates ashore, to see how the town was fortified, and how many Guns they had mounted, and how many great Guns they can bring to beat upon the new town, for to lay battery, and likewise how many great Guns they can bring to beat upon their Ships to ●inke them, or how they may come to burn them, and also to go round about the town, and take very good notice of all things therein, and likewise of all their Ships, and for a place to make a trench for great Guns, and they being many times ashore did find out a place for a trench, and so in a few days after our General had well understood himslefe, what a good work it would be to sink and burn their Ships, did give order unto our Master-Gunner, and my chief Mate Simpson, with some other good Seamen out of every ship, to take some barrels of power & shot ashore into the old town, and to shoot at their Ships, and to sink as many of them as the● can; and they did sink three of their best shippesth●● first day, and the next day they did come aboard f●● powder and shot, and they told our General th●● they had found out a place to make a Trench, th●● will sink all their ships in the Harbour, and o●● General did sent to every ship for every Gunn●● and men to take their ●urnes ashore to manage th●● Ordnance and ba●●ery, all day lon●, and while t●● Trench was making our men did sink many of the● Ships, and shot through many of their house● and killed a 〈◊〉 many men in their town and C●●stle; and continued killing of them everyday, a●● when the Trench was made and their Guns hal●● down into the Trench, our General sent for all t●● best Gunne●s of every Ship, and appointed eve●● Gunner and his Company his day, and to take po●der and shot with them, and so to go to work w●● their Ships to sink and burn them all, and as the●● were shooting at their ships and barks, the Moo●● in the new town did shoot at our men in the Tren●● and did shoot off one of our men's legs, but he is w●● again God be praised for it, for we did so tormey them in sinking and burning of their ships that th●● were stark mad, and at their wits ends, for we 〈◊〉 every day 〈◊〉 some of their ships, and kill some●● them in the new town with the great Guns, w●● shooting out of the Trench at them, and shoot● through their houses and from the walls and forts● the old town, & in every place where our men co●●r could bring great Guns for to beat upon the●● or their ships, boats, or houses, or Churches, or 〈◊〉 or anything of theirs, and at last we did sink & spoil and burn all their ships but three that did lie up in the Harbour behind a point of rocks, that our men could not bring any Guns to beat upon them, and what with the Saint besieging them by land, and we by Sea, they were in a mutiny in all the town, and together by the ears amongst themselves, and being so, and victuals began to be short with them, they were so tormented, that that side which was strongest, in the night did set upon their Governor, and took him prisoner, and put him in chains, and sent him prisoner to the King of Morocco, that is fifty leagues from Sally to the Southward; and when that Governor to that great King of theirs was gone, they made one Governor one day, & another another day, from the time we did come into the Road, to the time the old Governor came to the Town again. The 27th day at one of the clock in the morning, 27th. seven of our boats were in close aboard the shore at watch, and did see two great Carvells coming out of the Harbour; and our boats did set upon them, and did wedge one of their Rudders fast, and did lay her by the Lee and were board and board, and did heave in fire pots unto her, and did burnethree men of them to death, and did kill fifteen men of them outright, and did hurt eighteen more of them with our small shot, and they did kill us one man in the head with their small shot and hurt us eight more in our boats with small shot, and all our boats had men hurt in all that fight thirty Seamen, some i● the legs, and some in the arms with small shot: and two of the Hercules men were shot with arrows in the back, and are dead, and all our men be all well again God be thanked, had they not been so near the shore, and a gale of wind off the land, that we could not help them, nor rescue them with ou● Guns, and the rogues from the shore did beat of● our boats with their small shot; and so our boated were forced to leave them, and go aboard their ship● again. The 28. of April we saw two ships off at sea● the Mary and the Hercules did go off to them, an● fetch them up, and spoke with them. They were tw● Spaniards bringing Soldiers from Momora. The 29 of April the Saint our friend besieged th● new Town of Sally, and set all their corn on fire o● the ground without the town, and did keep them in●● that they cannot not stir. The first day of May in the morning, we did see● sail go into the harbour from all our ships: 〈◊〉 she did go so near the shore that we durst not'follow her. The Antelope followed her to the harbour mouth, and made many a shot at her, and did kil● them a great many men, as the Moors in the ol● town told our men. The 5. of May the Mary and the Hercules did com● into the Road from Fedally, and told our General● that they did put a Sally man of War ashore at F●dally, and set her on fire; and the Saint had taken al● her men: she was one of the best ships that they had● she had in her 23. or 24. great Guns, and coming from Argiere with a great many men in her● would have gone a roguing, had not we destroye● them. The 11. day in the morning we saw a ship off at Sea, 11th. and we gave her chase all the day, and in the eight we lost ●●ght of her: for it was so dark, and no wind. The 12. day in the morning, we did see two ships, 12th. and we did give them chase all day until night, and then lost them, it was so dark, and little wind. The 15. 15th. day, in the morning we saw two ships to the norward of us, as far as we could see them, we did give them chase all day, and at night we lost them. The 18. 18th day at two a clock in the morning, eight of our boats were in fight with four of their great boats until day light: we did kill them a great many men in their boats, as they were coming from Fedally: and had it not been a gale of wind, our boats had taken them all before they had gotten into the harbour. We had but two men hurt in all our boats. The 24. 24th. day, our boats did take a great boat of theirs. The 25. 25th. day we did give a man of war chase to the Southward of Sally all day: in the night we lost her, for it was dark, and little wind. The last of May in the morning, we did see a ship off at sea: Last. we gave her chase all day till night. She sailed too fast for us. All those ships that we have chased, were men of War, Rogues and Pirates of Sally. Some of them did come out of the straits, & some small men of war of them out of Sally. june. 1. The first day of june, in the morning we did see two ships off at Sea, june 1. we did give them chase all day, till at night, little wind and dark, and then we lost them. 5. The fifth day at ten a clock at night, 5. the Governor was sent away prisoner in a boat to the King of Morcous, thinking that the King would have cut off his head, and we having notice of his going, did watch narrowly for him with all our boats: it was such a night, and so dark, and such a Fog, that our boats could, not meet with him, for we would have taken him prisoner. 7 The seventh day in the night, 7. a small man of War did come out of the Harbour, our boats being at watch did meet with her, and did put her ashore, and she was spilt all too pieces, and all her men drowned and taken by the Saint our friend. The tenth day of june the Expedition did come into Sally Roade. 10. The eleventh ' day Providence came into the Road; 11. and one of their men of war came creeping alongst the North shore, a mile from the Norward of the Old Town; our boats and one of the Pinnaces did set upon her, and put her a shore, and she was split all too pieces, and most of her men killed and taken by the Saint our friend. The twenty third of june, 23. our General did go aboard of the Expedition in the morning, to see how they would row, and they did row after three leag● s a watch, and did row under the Castle and the Castle did shoot at her, and thee did shoot at the Castle, and into the Castle, and over the Castle, and into the town, and over the town; and the Castle at her, and she at them, and so they did lie shooting one at another, until four a clock in the afternoon; and then she did come off into the Road again, and did come unto an Anchor hard by the Leopard, and came off very well, and had never a man hurt we give God thanks: they broke one of their best Guns of brass in the Castle, with shooting at her. The twenty seaventh day of june in the morning we saw two ships at an Anchor under the Castle; 27. Our General sent for all the ships boats to tow in the Providence, for it was claim, she did row and eight boats did tow, and they towed her within Musket shot of the shore, and the Providence did shoot at those two ships, 100 pieces of Ordnance through & through, and the great shot did kill them, some men right out, and went a shore amongst a thousand Moors, and the Castle did shoot above eighty pieces of Ordnance at her. And the men in the town came down to the water side with 1000 small shot at her; And at noon they left off, and she came off very well, and had never a man hurt; but her ropes, and her sails, and her side; were paid with small shot; we could not know how many Moors she did kill them. The thirteenth day in the morning we saw a ship, 13. Captain White chased her a shore to the Northward. The same day at noon, the new town sent a boat aboard with letters to our General, about the Christians, & would sane have made a peace with our General, but he would not make a peace with them, except they would give us all our Christians, and satisfaction for all that ever had been taken by them, those words made them in a dump, and when they did see our two Pinnaces come into the Road out of England, and did see them row with Oars after one of their ships they were stark mad, and sought all the ways they could for a peace with us, or with the Saint, and there did run away one hundred men in a day out of the new town to the old town, to the Saint: and most of the best men in the town for want of victuals, which were very short with them, who durst not go out for fear of our men, they were almost all sterved for want. 30. june the thirtieth we saw a ship at Sea, june 30. and gave her chase all day, and at night we lost her, it was dark and little wind, that we could not fetch her. july 3. july the third, july 3. we did put a Sally man of war a shore, with fifty five Moors and Turks in her, all killed and drowned, and taken with the Saint our friend, and their ship split all too pieces. 11. The eleventh day in the morning, 11. we saw three ships at Sea, we gave them chase all day, and at night we lost them. 12. The twelsth day the Providence chased a Sally man of war ashore, 12. with eighty five Moors and Turks in her, to the Southwards, all taken and killed by the Saint our friend, and their ship split all too pieces, to the Southward of Sally, Ships and Carvels six, and boats two put ashore without the Harbour of Sally bar, unto the Southward two ships and one boat, unto the Northwards four ships and one boat, they were all men of war, and Pirates of Sally, and all the ships that we gave chase too, were all Turks men of war and Pirates of Sally, but four that came to trade with the town. But our General would not suffer them to trade. 26. july 26. 26. our Master Gunner, and my mate Simpson, and a great ma●y men more, had made ready some great Guns to go up to the Saint, by the General's appointment about the head of the river, for they in the new town had taken away their bridge, that they had made upon boats and deal boards, to go over the river into the old town, to fight with them, and did fight with them many times; and had taken the old town, if we had stayed away but ten days longer, but when they saw our ships, and knew wherefore we came, we made them soon take a way their bridge again, for fear we should take their bridge away from them, and carry our great Guns over, and beat down the town about their ears, and made them in a woeful case, that they were sometimes in the mind to give up the town to the Saint, & sometimes in mind to give it to the Spaniards, and ●t last they were in the mind to run away, and did run away a great many out of the town daily, if they could have told how to have got out of the Harbour, for they could not hold the town above six or ten days longer, the Christians did all escape so to our General, but we did look out with our boats close in the shore, and before the Harbour's mouth, that they could not stir; and if chance they had got out of the Harbour from our boats, our ships in the Road; were all ready to set sail, and to cut our Cables in the Harse, and all our sails in smiting being ready to set sail after them, at an instant. The 27. 27. day of july there came letters to our General from the King of Morocco, and Master Robert Black a Merchant and Interpreter for the King's Ambassador to our General; and in that ship was the old Governor, that was sent away in chains unto the King of Morocco, and had made his peace with the King, so the King sent him to be Governor in Sally again, with a Proviso that he could make his peace with our General about our Christians, for the town of new Sally was very near the matter to be none of the King of Morocus, nor he to be entertained for Governor again, had not our gracious King with his ships given him possession of it, he had never been King of Sally in this world, for we had notice of their coming a week before they came, and our General sent his warrant and the Providence, and one ship more, and a small Friget out at Sea, to look for their coming. The same day our Pinnace the Providence met with him, and commanded him a board our ship the Leopard, and he was kept prisoner till the next day, and our General threatened to hang him, at which he trembled very much, and was sore afraid of it, and our General sent for all the Captains aboard, and Called a Council of War, and it was agreed upon, th●r the Kings, Alcade, and Master Robert Blake should go ashore first into the new town, and see how they would entertain the Kings Alcade, and how they would entertain the old Governor again. And the 28. day, they sent a boat aboard unto our General with eleven Christians that were the Governor's slaves or most of them, and Merchants some of them to my knowledge, and told him if be would send the Governor ashore, he should have all the Christians aboard; and it was agreed upon that they should bring all our Christians aboard in their boats, and the old Governor was sent a shore, and they did receive him very thankfully again, for had not he and the Kings Alcade come as they did, the town had been the Saints and ours, but God would not have it so, and they did make as much haste to bring our christian's aboard as they could, because they would have us gone out of the Road. August. 8. The eight day of August, August. 8. we had all our Christians aboard our ships, and all their names, and in what towns they formerly dwelled, as you shall see in a List following God willing. The same day towards night our General sent four of our ships away to rove and to range the Coast of Spain, and to look for Turk's men of war, Pirates or others, the Antelope, the Hercules, the Providence, the Expedition, two ships, two Pinnaces. 12. And the twelfth day the Mary Rose, 12. and the Roe Bucke, did come into Sally Road out of England, with a new supply, not knowing what we had done; but the Moors of new Sally, seeing two ships with the King's Colours, they were mad to see more ships come into the Road of Sally, and we must stay still to take in the Kings Alcade, and Master Robert Black, and four of the best men in Sally, to go to the King of Morocco for pledges, and to see the peace confirmed between the King of England, and the King of Morocco. August. 21. August the 21. Aug. 21. we set sail out of Sally Roade. 23. And the twenty third day we came to an Anchor in Saffee Roade, 23. twenty fathom water.
