         EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.
         EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).
         The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.
         Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.
         Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.
         Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.
         The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.
         Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

           Confinement

           I
           shall
           offer
           nothing
           but
           Truths

           which
           ten
           Years
           Sufferings
           have
           made
           me
           too
           long
           acquainted
           with
           .
           We
           were
           not
           only
           banished
           from
           our
           Native
           Country

           (
           being
           English-men
           ,
           and
           my self
           born
           
           in
           
           Ratcliff-Parish

           but
           from
           all
           the
           Spiritual
           as
           well
           as
           Temporal
           Comforts
           .
           We
           were
           confin'd
           amongst
           those
           whose
           Religion
           was
           composed
           of
           Cruelty
           ,
           whose
           Customs
           were
           Extravagant
           ,
           and
           whose
           Usages
           almost
           Intolerable
           ;
           what
           from
           the
           hardness
           of
           our
           Labours
           ,
           and
           the
           coarsness
           of
           our
           Provisions
           ,
           we
           were
           reduced
           to
           the
           most
           pressing
           Extremities
           ,
           which
           caused
           us
           to
           think
           and
           contrive
           all
           Ways
           and
           Means
           to
           procure
           our
           desired
           Liberties
           ;
           which
           considering
           how
           
           narrowly
           we
           were
           watch'd
           ,
           and
           how
           closely
           kept
           ,
           was
           almost
           impossible
           to
           be
           effected
           .
        
         
           I
           need
           not
           mention
           here
           how
           I
           made
           my
           Escape
           ,
           with
           two

           Companions

           its

           afterwards

           the
           Person

           those
           Coasts

           where
           we
           unfortunately
           fell

           the
           Barbarities
           they
           must
           expect
           to
           suffer
           from
           those
           merciless
           
           Enemies

           coming
           ,
           our
           Merchants
           went
           to
           a
           French
           Commander
           of
           26
           Guns
           that
           was
           bound
           for
           Marseilles
           ;
           who
           agreed
           with
           them
           to
           carry
           us
           safe
           thither
           :
           In
           order
           thereunto
           he
           went
           aboard
           and
           fired
           a
           Gun
           ,
           which
           hearing
           ,
           we
           set
           sail
           after
           him
           .
           We
           were
           not
           above
           three
           Leagues
           out
           of
           Cales
           ,
           but
           he
           hoisted
           his
           Top-sails
           ,
           and
           left
           us
           ;
           however
           we
           got
           safe
           to
           Malaga
           ,
           where
           we
           again
           waited
           for
           a
           Convoy
           :
           but
           after
           we
           had
           staid
           there
           a
           considerable
           time
           ,
           expecting
           we
           should
           have
           met
           with
           one
           ,
           we
           were
           forced
           to
           go
           without
           ,
           being
           loaded
           with
           Herrings
           which
           were
           likely
           to
           be
           spoiled
           .
           From
           thence
           we
           went
           to
           Allicant
           ,
           where
           we
           met

           two
           Flemmings
           bound

           with
           whom
           we
           set
           Sail

           :
           and
           four
           hours
           after
           we
           met
           with

           who
           enquired
           from
           whence
           we
           came
           ?
           We
           gave
           them
           account

           and
           whither
           bound

           We
           ask'd
           from
           whence
           they
           came

           they
           answered
           ,
           From
           Algier

           We

           Good
           News

           made
           Peace
           with
           Algier
           ;
           so
           we
           brought

           and
           our

           out
           his
           Boat

           and
           went
           aboard
           them
           ,

           after
           which
           he
           sailed
           with
           the

           but
           the
           Merchants

           telling
           him

           the
           Captain
           had
           agreed
           with

           Morning
           .
           Then
           the
           Shack
           or
           Chief
           of
           the
           Jews
           went
           immediately
           home
           to
           his
           House

           which
           having
           received
           ,
           she
           sent
           word
           back
           by
           the
           Eunuchs

           that
           she
           would
           endeavour
           to
           prevail
           with
           him
           ,
           which
           she
           did
           .
           And
           the
           next
           Morning
           he
           spoke
           again
           with
           the
           Emperor
           ,
           who
           immediately
           sent
           out
           his
           Negroes
           to
           drive
           back
           the
           Christians
           ,
           which
           were
           hurried
           again
           to
           their
           Works
           in
           a
           cruel
           manner
           .
           The
           Moors
           of
           his
           City
           Macqueness
           seeing
           that
           ,
           cursed
           the
           Jews
           for
           doing
           it
           :
           But
           the
           Captain
           could
           in
           no
           wise
           prevail
           with
           this
           grievous
           Tyrant
           the
           Emperor
           ,
           (
           notwithstanding
           the
           Captain
           had
           done
           what
           in
           him
           lay
           to
           have
           got
           the
           Christians
           away
           )
           who
           said
           he
           would
           not
           part
           with
           them
           till
           the
           Town
           was
           finished
           .
           So
           they
           went
           to
           work
           with
           great
           Chops
           ,
           and
           Baskets
           to
           carry
           Earth
           in
           ;
           and
           the
           Negroes
           were
           set
           over
           
           them
           to
           keep
           them
           at
           it
           from
           Morning
           to
           Night
           .
           When
           the
           Town
           was
           finished
           ,
           he
           put
           in
           his
           Negroes
           :
           but
           the
           Curse
           of
           the
           Jews
           fell
           upon
           their
           own
           Governour
           ,
           his
           Mischief
           returned
           on
           his
           own
           Head
           ,
           as
           will
           shortly
           be
           shewn
           .
           In
           the
           mean
           time
           the
           poor
           Christians
           were
           grievously
           hurried
           and
           punished
           by
           those
           Hellish
           Negroes
           at
           the
           Command
           of
           this
           wicked
           and
           inhuman
           Tyrant
           the
           Emperor
           ,
           and
           had
           scarce
           time
           to
           take
           any
           Nourishment
           ,
           or
           eat
           any
           of
           their
           bad
           Bread
           that
           was
           allowed
           them
           ,
           but
           with
           a
           great
           many
           Threats
           ,
           Stripes
           and
           Blows
           by
           the
           Negroes

           bidding
           them
           turn
           Moors
           .
           In
           which
           condition
           they
           prayed
           to
           God
           to
           preserve
           them
           in
           their
           Faith
           ;
           in
           which

           through
           his
           Assistance
           ,
           they
           remained
           constant

           Sometime
           after
           Captain
           Nicholson
           being
           gone

           of
           that
           Dominion
           ,
           being
           kept
           by
           a
           King
           whose
           Name

           been
           there
           a
           considerable
           time
           ,
           he
           sent
           to
           the
           Chief
           of
           the
           Jews

           wanted

           .
           When

           had
           gotten
           Mules
           ,
           and
           carried
           them

           and
           his
           Father
           would
           repay
           him
           ,
           when
           he
           ,
           viz.
           the

           He
           told

           Of

           Afterwards

           and
           ordered
           the
           Negroes
           to
           drive
           the
           poor
           Christians
           to
           hard
           Labour
           ,
           who
           at
           Night
           were
           lock'd
           up

           what

           being
           such
           Bread

           so
           bad

           it
           :
           and
           what
           betwixt
           their
           Diet
           and
           Lodging

           many
           of
           them
           fell
           sick
           .
           And
           to

           were
           threatned

           abused
           by
           the
           Negroes
           to
           turn
           Moors
           ;
           but
           they
           daily
           prayed
           to
           God
           to
           strengthen
           them
           in
           their
           Afflictions
           ,
           and
           in
           his
           great
           Mercy
           work
           some
           way
           for
           their
           Deliverance
           out
           of
           this
           dreadful
           Bondage
           .
        
         
           Afterwards
           the
           chief
           Eunuch
           sent
           word
           to
           the
           Emperor
           ,
           that
           he
           had
           a
           Christian
           Virgin
           amongst
           the
           rest
           of
           his
           Women
           .
           The
           Emperor
           ordered
           him
           to
           send
           her
           up
           to
           the
           Camp
           ,
           with
           
           a
           parcel
           of
           his
           Eunuchs
           to
           guard
           her
           thither
           .
           When
           she
           came
           to
           the
           Camp
           ,
           the
           Emperor
           urged
           her
           ,
           tempting
           her
           with
           Promises
           of
           great
           Rewards
           if
           she
           would
           turn
           Moor
           ,
           and
           lie
           with
           him
           .
           She
           earnestly
           desired
           of
           the
           Lord
           to
           preserve
           and
           strengthen
           her
           to
           resist
           his
           earnest
           Perswasions
           ,
           and
           great
           Proffers
           ,
           which
           he
           used
           ,
           to
           have
           his
           Desires
           fulfilled
           .
           When
           he
           could
           not
           prevail
           so
           ,
           he
           fell
           to
           threatning
           her
           ,
           and
           put
           her
           amongst
           his
           Negro
           Women
           ,
           and
           threatned
           to
           kill
           them
           if
           they
           offered
           to
           shew
           her
           any
           Kindness
           ,
           where
           they
           kept
           her
           ,
           beating
           and
           abusing
           her
           for
           several
           days
           .
           She
           prayed
           still
           to
           the
           Lord
           to
           strengthen
           her
           ,
           and
           held
           a
           Resolution
           to
           withstand
           him
           ;
           who
           again
           sought
           to
           prevail
           with
           her
           ,
           tempting
           and
           
           promising
           of
           her
           great
           things
           ,
           if
           she
           would
           turn
           ,
           which
           she
           still
           refused
           :
           so
           he
           caused
           her
           to
           be
           stript
           ,
           and
           whipt
           by
           his
           Eunuchs
           with
           small
           Cords
           ,
           so
           long
           till
           she
           lay
           for
           dead
           ;
           and
           he
           caused
           her
           to
           be
           carried
           away
           out
           of
           his
           Presence
           that
           time
           ,
           and
           charged
           his
           Women
           none
           of
           them
           should
           help
           her
           till
           he
           sent
           for
           her
           ,
           which
           was
           not
           till
           two
           days
           after
           ,
           and
           in
           the
           mean
           time
           to
           have
           no
           Sustenance
           but
           that
           black
           rotten
           Bread
           :
           at
           which
           time
           he
           sought
           again
           to
           prevail
           with
           Promises
           and
           Threats
           ,
           which
           she
           still
           withstood
           ,
           praying
           to
           the
           Lord
           that
           she
           might
           be
           preserved
           from
           him
           ,
           and
           be
           delivered
           from
           his
           cruel
           Hands
           .
           Then
           he
           prick'd
           her
           with
           such
           things
           ,
           as
           commonly
           his
           Women
           use
           instead
           of
           Pins
           ,
           being
           as
           sharp
           .
           
           Thus
           this
           beastly
           and
           inhuman
           Wretch
           by
           all
           ways
           he
           could
           invent
           ,
           sought
           to
           force
           her
           to
           yield
           ,
           which
           she
           resisted
           so
           long
           ,
           till
           Tortures
           ,
           and
           the
           hazards
           of
           her
           Life
           forced
           her
           to
           yield
           ,
           or
           resign
           her
           Body
           to
           him
           ,
           tho
           her
           Heart
           was
           otherwise
           inclined
           .
           So
           he
           had
           her
           wash'd
           ,
           and
           clothed
           her
           in
           their
           fashion
           of
           Apparel
           ,
           and
           lay
           with
           her
           ;
           having
           his
           Desire
           fulfilled
           ,
           he
           inhumanly
           ,
           in
           great
           haste
           forc'd
           her
           away
           out
           of
           his
           Presence
           ;
           and
           she
           being
           with
           Child
           ,
           he
           sent
           her
           by
           his
           Eunuchs
           to

           Eunuch
           ,
           and
           after
           that
           she
           was
           delivered

           being

           Memora
           ;
           and
           as
           they
           were
           passing
           along
           the
           River
           ,
           on
           a
           certain
           time
           in
           a
           Boat
           ,
           with
           some
           Moors
           ,
           one
           of
           which
           was
           a
           Lieutenant
           ,
           he
           ordered
           the
           Christians
           to

           Shore

           fetch
           a
           little
           of
           their
           black
           Rusk
           and
           Water

           And
           as
           they
           were
           passing
           along
           the
           River
           to
           take
           their
           Pleasure
           ,
           the
           Christians
           said
           one
           to
           another
           ,
           Now
           is
           the
           time
           ,
           with
           the
           Lord's
           leave
           ,
           for
           us
           to
           see
           for
           our
           Liberty
           :
           The
           French-man
           said
           ,
           The
           Moors
           would
           be
           too
           many
           for
           them
           :
           The
           English-men
           said
           ,
           Fear
           not
           ,
           let
           us
           trust
           in
           the
           Lord
           ,
           and
           he
           'll
           deliver
           us
           .
           So
           they
           going
           aboard
           with
           their
           Bread
           and
           Water
           ,
           the
           Lieutenant
           bid
           them
           get
           out
           their
           Oars
           ,
           and
           pull
           up
           like
           Dogs
           as
           they
           were
           ;
           which
           they
           bore
           patiently
           .
           At
           Night
           some
           of
           the
           Moors
           lying
           down
           ,
           they
           
           fell
           upon
           those
           Moors
           that
           were
           awake
           .
           They
           then
           fearing
           the
           Christians
           would
           be
           too
           hard
           for
           them
           ,
           called
           out
           ,
           and
           awaked
           the
           other
           Moors
           .
           Then
           the
           Lieutenant
           and
           other
           Moors
           came
           ,
           and
           he
           drew
           his
           Knife
           ,
           and
           stabb'd
           one
           of
           the
           English-men
           to
           death
           ,
           the
           other
           knock'd
           him
           down
           ,
           and
           they
           fought
           so
           long
           till
           Blood
           was
           spilt
           on
           both
           sides
           .
           The
           next
           day
           the
           English-man
           and
           French-man
           were
           carried
           up
           to
           Macqueness
           in
           Irons
           ,
           before
           the
           Emperor
           ,
           and
           by
           the
           Moors
           was
           informed
           of
           what
           was
           done
           .
           The
           Emperor
           upon
           Examination
           ,
           told
           them
           if
           they
           did
           not
           immediately
           turn
           Moors
           ,
           he
           would
           kill
           them
           .
           The
           French-man
           yielded
           :
           the
           Emperor
           then
           threatned
           the
           English-man
           ,
           if
           he
           did
           not
           turn
           ,
           he
           would
           quickly
           kill
           him
           .
           He
           
           made
           Answer
           ,
           God's
           Power
           was
           greater
           than
           the
           Devil
           's
           ;
           and
           let
           him
           do
           what
           he
           would
           ,
           he
           should
           not
           make
           him
           turn
           Moor.
           The
           Emperor
           called
           for
           his
           Sword
           ,
           and
           immediately
           fell
           to
           cutting
           him
           ,
           threatning
           him
           still
           to
           turn
           ;
           he
           said
           he
           was
           brought
           up
           in
           the
           Faith
           of
           Jesus
           Christ
           ,
           and
           he
           would
           not
           forsake
           it
           .
           Then
           this
           inhuman
           Wretch
           in
           great
           spleen
           cut
           him
           till
           he
           fell
           down
           ,
           and
           hack'd
           and
           hewed
           him
           as
           if
           he
           had
           been
           butchering
           an
           Ox
           ,
           and
           caused
           the
           Negro
           Boys
           to
           run
           his
           Body
           full
           of
           Holes
           with
           Knives
           ,
           till
           his
           Body
           was
           as
           full
           of
           Holes
           as
           possible
           it
           could
           be
           ;
           when
           he
           had
           so
           done
           ,
           Bring
           ,
           saith
           he
           in
           his
           own
           Language
           ,
           four
           English
           Dogs
           to
           fetch
           that
           Dog
           away
           :
           and
           as
           they
           carried
           his
           Body
           away
           ,
           the
           Negro
           Boys
           
           stoned
           them
           ,
           saying
           ,
           that
           should
           be
           the
           end
           of
           them
           if
           they
           did
           not
           turn
           Moors
           ;
           but
           they
           were
           glad
           to
           go
           quietly
           without
           answering
           again
           ;
           if
           they
           had
           made
           any
           Reply
           ,
           they
           had
           certainly
           been
           fallen
           upon
           by
           the
           Negro
           Boys
           .
           So
           their
           greatest
           Satisfaction
           was
           ,
           his
           dying
           in
           the
           Christian
           Faith
           ,
           and
           his
           counting
           that
           more
           precious
           than
           his
           own
           Life
           ,
           holding
           the
           same
           stedfast
           before
           that
           cruel
           Tyrant
           ,
           whilst
           he
           had
           Breath
           in
           his
           Body
           .
           Then
           they
           carried
           him
           to
           the
           place
           where
           they
           lodged
           under
           ground
           ,
           so
           took
           off
           his
           Irons
           and
           kept
           him
           there
           all
           Night
           ,
           and
           the
           next
           Morning
           carried
           him
           where
           he
           was
           to
           be
           buried
           ,
           the
           Negroes
           still
           stoning
           of
           them
           as
           they
           went
           along
           .
           As
           soon
           as
           they
           had

           They

           he

           which
           he

           quickly
           secured

           for
           he
           had
           a
           mind

           .
           So
           the
           Moors
           took

           ,
           he
           set
           his
           Negroes
           to
           drive
           them

           ordering

           and
           laid

           with
           those
           Guns
           that
           were
           brought
           from
           Memora
           .
           So
           the
           Negroes
           kept
           them

           After

           fell
           sick
           and
           died
           :
           then
           this
           Tyrant
           came
           and

           Governour
           was
           concerned
           at
           the
           loss
           of
           Guillan
           and
           his
           People
           .
           When
           the
           Emperor
           had
           won
           most
           of
           his
           Country
           ,
           and
           conquered
           Tarradant
           ,
           he
           soon
           after
           came
           to
           Macqueness
           ,
           and
           ordered
           all
           his
           Bashaws
           or
           Governours
           to
           build
           
           Walls
           and
           great
           Houses
           upon
           their
           own
           Charge
           ,
           on
           pain
           of
           losing
           their
           Lives
           .
           Some
           finished
           their
           Houses
           ,
           and
           some
           could
           not
           ,
           having
           not
           wherewith
           to
           do
           it
           ,
           being
           brought
           so
           low
           ,
           he
           causing
           it
           to
           be
           so
           ,
           that
           they
           might
           not
           rebel
           against
           his
           chief
           Son
           called
           
             Mully

           whom
           he
           hath
           the

           thinking
           he
           may

           after
           his
           Decease

           but
           I
           hope
           in
           God

           that
           the
           People

           he

           a

           When

           before

           and
           after
           this
           manner
           he
           governs
           his

           People

           When
           he
           had
           Business
           with
           our
           Nation
           ,
           and
           asked
           Advice
           of
           the
           Chief
           of

           none
           durst

           go
           Well
           or
           Ill
           ,
           for
           fear
           he
           would
           dislike
           what
           they
           said
           ,
           although
           he
           would
           often
           require
           them
           to
           do
           it
           :
           So
           he
           first
           gives
           his
           own
           Judgment
           of
           the
           Matter

           and
           they
           say
           as
           he
           does
           .
           He
           is
           seldom
           true
           to
           his
           Word
           ,
           having
           cheated
           most
           Kings
           and
           Princes

           made
           him

           soon
           broke
           it
           ,
           taking
           since
           that
           time
           several
           Dutch

           making
           Slaves
           of
           
           their

           He

           The

           into
           his
           Land

           Then
           they

           breach

           saying
           ,
           they
           hoped

           not
           serve
           them
           
           so

           He
           said
           ,
           if

           their
           Heads

           So
           they

           Then

           account
           what
           had
           happened

           When
           
             Mully
             Ishmael
          
           understood
           that

           he
           gave
           out

           that
           if
           any
           Christians
           would
           help
           ,
           and
           stand
           by
           the
           great
           Guns

           if
           he
           prevailed
           against

           So
           eight
           Englishmen
           told
           him

           knew

           would
           go
           with
           him

           So

           that
           they
           judged
           might
           be
           most
           serviceable
           )
           from
           the

           wanted
           Carriages
           :
           He
           sent
           for
           Carpenters
           immediately
           ,
           charging
           them
           to
           make
           Carriages
           strong
           and
           good
           ,
           and
           that
           with
           all
           speed

           upon
           pain
           of
           losing
           their
           Heads
           in
           case
           they
           neglected

           the
           Christian
           
           for
           not
           acquainting
           him
           therewith
           sooner
           ,
           saying
           ,
           if
           he
           would
           not
           turn
           Moor
           ,
           he
           would
           kill
           him
           ,
           as
           he
           had
           done
           the
           Negro
           ,
           who
           lay
           dead
           before
           them
           .
           The
           Christian
           boldly
           replied
           ,
           he
           was
           brought
           up
           in
           the
           Faith
           of
           Jesus
           Christ
           ,
           and
           he
           would
           not
           turn
           Moor
           ,
           and
           that
           he
           feared
           God
           ,
           whose
           Power
           was
           greater
           than
           his
           ;
           so
           the
           Emperor
           fell
           to
           cutting
           him
           ,
           and
           afterwards
           had
           him
           very
           inhumanly
           stretched
           out
           by
           those
           bloody
           Negroes
           ,
           and
           beaten
           till
           he
           was
           left
           for
           dead
           .
           Then
           he
           went
           away
           to
           his
           Works
           where
           English
           Captives
           were
           ,
           and
           told
           them
           he
           had
           killed
           one
           of
           the
           Dogs
           their
           Brother
           ,
           for
           taking
           no
           better
           care
           of
           his
           Sheep
           ,
           calling
           them
           Dogs
           in
           his
           own
           Language
           ,
           and
           bidding
           them
           fetch
           that
           Dog
           away
           ;
           five
           or
           
           six
           of
           them
           went
           and
           brought
           the
           poor
           Man
           away
           ,
           who
           had
           been
           so
           cruelly
           beaten
           by
           the
           wicked
           Wretch
           ,
           his
           Body
           was
           so
           exceedingly
           bruised
           ,
           he
           could
           not
           stir
           neither
           hand
           nor
           foot
           ;
           neither
           could
           he
           feed
           himself
           for
           several
           days
           ,
           but
           as
           we
           help'd
           him
           .
           Yet
           through
           God's
           Mercy
           ,
           he
           was
           pretty
           well
           recovered
           before
           my
           Departure
           from
           thence
           .
           And
           thus
           when
           the
           poor
           Captives
           are
           by
           this
           unmerciful
           ,
           and
           rather
           ,
           as
           we
           may
           term
           him
           ,
           inhuman
           Brute
           ,
           beaten
           and
           killed
           at
           his
           pleasure
           ,
           none
           dare
           make
           any
           Complaint
           to
           him
           ;
           for
           instead
           of
           taking
           any
           Pity
           of
           them
           ,
           he
           matters
           no
           more
           to
           kill
           a
           Christian
           than
           to
           kill
           a
           Dog
           ;
           and
           if
           any
           of
           them
           seeks
           for
           Favour
           from
           this
           Tyrant
           ,
           he
           's
           either
           killed
           ,
           or
           sorely
           beaten
           
           by
           either
           him
           or
           his
           bloody
           Negroes
           .
        
         
           A
           Moor
           ,
           one
           of
           the
           Natives
           of
           the
           Country
           ,
           having
           Compassion
           on
           me
           ,
           and
           seeing
           my
           sad
           Condition
           that
           I
           was
           kept
           daily
           in
           ,
           which
           I
           cannot
           at
           large
           insert
           here
           ,
           came
           to
           me
           ,
           speaking
           his
           own
           Language
           ,
           being
           Arabick
           ,
           knowing
           I
           could
           understand
           him
           ;
           and
           he
           asked
           me
           if
           I
           would
           go
           to
           my
           Native
           Country
           ?
           I
           replied
           ,
           Are
           you
           in
           earnest
           or
           not
           ?
           he
           answered
           ,
           Yes
           ,
           and
           would
           direct
           me
           ,
           and
           go
           along
           with
           me
           himself
           to
           Marsegan
           ,
           a
           Garison
           belonging
           to
           the
           King
           of
           Portugal
           .
           I
           told
           him
           ,
           if
           he
           expected
           any
           Reward
           or
           Satisfaction
           from
           me
           for
           his
           Pains
           ,
           I
           had
           nothing
           to
           give
           him
           ;
           he
           said
           he
           knew
           that
           by
           my
           Condition
           .
           So
           I
           enquired
           of
           him
           where
           he
           lived
           ?
           he
           answered
           ,
           
           at
           a
           place
           called
           Assimore
           ,
           which
           is
           not
           far
           from
           the
           Christian
           Garison
           ;
           and
           he
           said
           ,
           he
           would
           trust
           to
           the
           Benevolence
           of
           the
           Governour
           of
           that
           place
           ,
           provided
           I
           would
           speak
           to
           the
           said
           Governour
           for
           a
           Gratuity
           for
           him
           ,
           when
           we
           should
           arrive
           there
           :
           I
           told
           him
           I
           should
           be
           worse
           than
           a
           Jew
           ,
           if
           I
           did
           not
           do
           that
           ;
           and
           they
           themselves
           count
           the
           Jews
           the
           worst
           and
           falsest
           of
           all
           People
           .
           Then
           I
           asked
           him
           in
           what
           time
           we
           should
           provide
           for
           our
           Journey
           ?
           he
           said
           ,
           as
           soon
           as
           I
           could
           find
           convenient
           opportunity
           ;
           and
           I
           farther
           prevailed
           with
           him
           to
           take
           in
           two
           more
           English-men
           along
           with
           us
           ,
           whose
           Names
           were
           
             Tristram
             Bryan
          
           ,
           born
           in
           Plymouth
           ,
           and
           
             Edward
             Tucker
          
           ,
           who
           came
           from
           New-England
           .
           And
           in
           five
           days
           time
           after
           we
           were
           
           fitted
           with
           a
           small
           quantity
           of
           Bread
           for
           the
           Journey
           ,
           supposing
           we
           might
           accomplish
           our
           Journey
           in
           ten
           Nights
           time
           ,
           for
           we
           must
           of
           necessity
           hide
           our selves
           in
           the
           Day
           for
           fear
           of
           being
           discovered
           ;
           yet
           we
           found
           it
           difficult
           enough
           to
           perform
           in
           two
           and
           twenty
           days
           ,
           in
           which
           time
           we
           were
           put
           to
           great
           Hardships
           and
           Necessities
           on
           the
           way
           .
           The
           Particulars
           are
           as
           follow
           .
        
         
           On
           the
           26
           th
           of
           June
           ,
           1692
           ,
           in
           the
           Evening
           ,
           we
           set
           forward
           from
           Macqueness
           ,
           and
           travelled
           as
           far
           as
           we
           could
           that
           Night
           in
           great
           fear
           of
           being
           pursued
           ,
           with
           our
           Moor
           to
           direct
           us
           in
           the
           way
           ,
           knowing
           that
           if
           they
           had
           found
           us
           ,
           we
           had
           been
           killed
           ,
           if
           not
           burnt
           ,
           which
           would
           have
           been
           the
           
           Moor's
           Lot
           had
           we
           been
           taken
           :
           
           towards
           day
           we
           had
           a
           great
           River
           to
           pass
           ;
           when
           we
           were
           got
           over
           ,
           we
           found
           a
           small
           Coppise
           or
           Wood
           ,
           where
           we
           rested
           the
           Day
           following
           ,
           being
           the
           27
           th
           .
           In
           the
           Evening
           when
           the
           Sun
           was
           set
           ,
           our
           Guide
           was
           forward
           to
           be
           going
           ,
           not
           knowing
           how
           the
           Event
           would
           prove
           ,
           and
           I
           had
           much
           ado
           to
           perswade
           him
           from
           going
           before
           't
           was
           dark
           .
           When
           we
           came
           into
           the
           Road
           out
           of
           the
           Wood
           we
           met
           ten
           Moors
           ,
           and
           Mules
           and
           Asses
           laden
           with
           Goods
           for
           the
           Emperor
           ,
           being
           Iron
           ,
           which
           they
           had
           taken
           from
           one
           Savage
           an
           English
           Master
           that
           came
           from
           Bilboa
           ;
           so
           we
           followed
           our
           Guide
           the
           Moor
           ,
           who
           gave
           them
           the
           time
           of
           the
           Night
           ,
           and
           they
           him
           likewise
           ;
           and
           so
           we
           passed
           that
           time
           without
           any
           further
           trouble
           ,
           they
           supposing
           
           us
           to
           be
           Moors
           ,
           being
           we
           had
           on
           their
           sort
           of
           Apparel
           .
           So
           we
           travelled
           that
           Night
           ,
           making
           what
           haste
           we
           could
           ,
           and
           still
           in
           great
           fear
           ,
           lest
           we
           should
           have
           been
           discovered
           by
           the
           Moors
           :
           when
           we
           rested
           ,
           it
           was
           towards
           Day
           ,
           in
           some
           Brambles
           or
           Bushes
           ,
           seeing
           them
           pass
           along
           by
           us
           ,
           driving
           of
           Sheep
           and
           Bullocks
           ;
           but
           through
           Mercy
           they
           did
           not
           see
           us
           .
           And
           the
           next
           Night
           ,
           being
           the
           28
           th
           ,
           we
           travelled
           all
           Night
           ;
           and
           when
           Day
           appeared
           ,
           we
           could
           not
           find
           a
           convenient
           place
           to
           lodg
           in
           ,
           which
           we
           sought
           for
           ;
           and
           about
           Sun-rising
           we
           found
           a
           place
           betwixt
           two
           Mountains
           where
           were
           Holes
           made
           with
           the
           Winter
           Rains
           coming
           off
           the
           Hills
           near
           a
           Path-way
           ,
           to
           which
           we
           made
           ,
           and
           espied
           several
           Moors
           who
           went
           along
           
           the
           Road
           ,
           that
           had
           Mules
           and
           Asses
           loaden
           with
           Iron
           ,
           who
           saw
           us
           not
           .
           Some
           part
           of
           the
           Day
           we
           slept
           ;
           and

           Moor
           and
           I
           watcht
           ;
           in
           which
           time
           the
           Moor
           gathered
           Palm
           ,
           and
           made

           So
           in
           the
           Evening

           29
           th
           )
           we
           travelled
           till
           we
           came
           to
           a

           to
           carry

           Macqueness
           ;
           who
           strictly

           from
           whence
           we
           came

           and
           whither
           we

           Good-night

           along
           the
           River-side
           before
           we
           could
           get
           over
           .
           When
           we
           were
           over
           ,
           there
           were
           a
           great
           many
           Bramble-bushes
           and
           Rush-bushes
           ;
           and
           our
           Moor
           feared
           there
           were
           Lions
           in
           that
           Place
           ,
           so
           we
           made
           what
           haste
           we
           could
           up
           a
           Hill
           ,
           on
           the
           top
           of
           which
           was
           a
           great
           Plain
           ;
           and
           being
           very
           thirsty
           ,
           we
           travelled
           on
           a
           good
           way
           further
           ,
           and
           heard
           a
           noise
           of
           Frogs
           and
           Toads
           ;
           to
           which
           Place
           we
           came
           ,
           and
           found
           a
           standing
           Water
           ,
           which
           stunk
           ;
           however
           we
           drank
           thereof
           to
           stay
           our
           Thirst
           ,
           and
           't
           was
           sweet
           to
           us
           :
           and
           so
           went
           on
           till
           we
           found
           a
           ruined
           Castle
           ,
           which
           had
           formerly
           belonged
           to
           the
           Portugues
           ,
           at
           which
           our
           Moor
           would
           fain
           have
           rested
           ;
           but
           I
           told
           him
           there
           might
           happen
           to
           be
           Moors
           there
           ,
           because
           they
           usually
           
           rested
           in
           such
           Places
           in
           the
           Night
           .
           So
           we
           went
           further
           ,
           till
           we
           came
           to
           a
           place
           where
           grew
           a
           great
           parcel
           of
           high
           Weeds
           ,
           and
           there
           we
           rested
           that
           Day
           .
        
         
           The
           30
           th
           at
           Night
           ,
           after
           Sun-set
           ,
           we
           set
           forwards
           ;
           but
           were
           very
           thirsty
           ,
           the
           Sun
           having
           shone
           hot
           upon
           us
           that
           Day
           ,
           having
           lain
           without
           shelter
           ,
           only
           the
           Weeds
           .
           I
           asked
           our
           Moor
           ,
           how
           long
           it
           would
           be
           e're
           we
           could
           find
           any
           Water
           ?
           He
           said
           ,
           A
           little
           further
           there
           was
           a
           small
           River
           ;
           but
           we
           thought
           it
           a
           long
           way
           to
           it
           ,
           our
           Throats
           being
           so
           parch'd
           with
           Drought
           ;
           so
           we
           drank
           Water
           ,
           and
           eat
           a
           little
           Bread
           ,
           which
           did
           greatly
           refresh
           us
           ;
           and
           we
           went
           forward
           till
           near
           break
           of
           Day
           ,
           where
           we
           rested
           in
           some
           Weeds
           till
           about
           two
           in
           the
           Afternoon
           ;
           
           at
           which
           time
           three
           Women
           disturbed
           us
           two
           or
           three
           times
           ,
           but
           saw
           not
           our
           Faces
           :
           So
           we
           three
           went
           forward
           ,
           and
           our
           Moor
           stood
           ,
           and
           enquired
           of
           them
           the
           way
           to
           Salley
           .
           Then
           the
           Women
           asked
           from
           whence
           we
           came
           ?
           Who
           answered
           ,
           From
           Tapholet
           ,
           which
           was
           a
           City
           in
           that
           Country
           .
           They
           further
           asked
           ,
           if
           he
           had
           lain
           in
           that
           place
           all
           Night
           ?
           and
           asked
           what
           they
           were
           that
           were
           with
           him
           ?
           He
           told
           them
           ,
           Three
           of
           his
           Neighbours
           ,
           and
           that
           they
           had
           lain
           there
           all
           Night
           ,
           being
           Strangers
           .
           They
           said
           ,
           It
           was
           a
           wonder
           that
           the
           Lions
           had
           not
           destroyed
           us
           ,
           there
           being
           so
           many
           in
           that
           place
           ,
           they
           devoured
           some
           of
           their
           Cattel
           almost
           every
           Night
           ;
           and
           they
           told
           him
           it
           was
           about
           four
           Leagues
           to
           Salley
           .
        
         
         
           After
           Sun-set
           (
           July
           1.
           )
           we
           travelled
           till
           we
           came
           to
           a
           Wood
           ,
           where
           the
           Moor
           would
           have
           had
           us
           to
           rest
           ;
           but
           seeing
           of
           Lights
           which
           the
           Country
           People
           had
           in
           their
           Tents
           ,
           and
           hearing
           a
           Lion
           roar
           thereabouts
           ,
           we
           went
           further
           ,
           and
           came
           to
           a
           ruined
           Tower
           ,
           where
           was
           a
           good
           Spring
           of
           Water
           ;
           we
           drank
           and
           refreshed
           our selves
           ,
           but
           durst
           not
           stay
           for
           fear
           of
           Moors
           being
           in
           that
           place
           ;
           and
           going
           a
           little
           farther
           ,
           we
           came
           into
           a
           Valley
           ,
           where
           was
           a
           Hole
           the
           Winter
           Rains
           had
           made
           ,
           there
           we
           rested
           ;
           and
           after
           the
           Sun
           was
           risen
           ,
           two
           Moors
           came
           to
           cut
           Palm
           :
           At
           which
           I
           awaked
           our
           Moor
           ,
           who
           spoke
           to
           them
           ,
           and
           gave
           them
           the
           time
           of
           Day
           ,
           and
           they
           likewise
           to
           him
           .
           They
           enquired
           of
           him
           from
           whence
           he
           came
           ,
           and
           whither
           he
           was
           going
           ?
           
           He
           told
           them
           ,
           he
           came
           from
           beyond
           Tapholet
           ,
           and
           was
           going
           to
           visit
           a
           great
           Saint
           at
           a
           Town
           called
           Temsnah
           ;
           and
           asked
           further
           ,
           if
           there
           were
           none
           with
           him
           ?
           He
           answered
           ,
           there
           were
           three
           more
           .
           They
           asked
           ,
           if
           we
           had
           lain
           there
           all
           Night
           ?
           He
           said
           ,
           we
           had
           ;
           They
           said
           ,
           it
           was
           to
           be
           wondred
           that
           the
           Lions
           had
           not
           devoured
           us
           ;
           and
           came
           to
           look
           at
           us
           where
           we
           lay
           ,
           speaking
           Arabick
           ;
           but
           the
           Moor
           told
           them
           ,
           we
           could
           not
           speak
           that
           Lingua
           ;
           and
           we
           were
           covered
           all
           over
           with
           our
           white
           Blankets
           ,
           being
           such
           as
           the
           Moors
           commonly
           wear
           .
           So
           they
           went
           away
           and
           left
           us
           ,
           telling
           us
           ,
           We
           did
           well
           in
           going
           to
           visit
           the
           Saint
           .
           So
           we
           got
           up
           ,
           and
           espying
           a
           parcel
           of
           Bushes
           a
           little
           distance
           off
           ,
           we
           removed
           thither
           ,
           lest
           the
           two
           Moors
           should
           have
           
           informed
           of
           us
           at
           Salley
           ,
           and
           so
           have
           come
           back
           to
           the
           place
           and
           found
           us
           .
           The
           Bush
           where
           we
           were
           hid
           ,
           was
           near
           a
           River-side
           ,
           but
           we
           durst
           not
           go
           to
           drink
           thereat
           ,
           by
           reason
           of
           People
           which
           passed
           to
           and
           fro
           there
           by
           us
           all
           Day
           long
           .
        
         
           July
           2.
           
           After
           Sun-set
           ,
           we
           attempted
           to
           go
           over
           the
           River
           ;
           but
           it
           being
           so
           strong
           a
           Stream
           ,
           and
           deep
           ,
           we
           could
           not
           pass
           over
           it
           :
           And
           in
           our
           going
           a
           great
           way
           further
           up
           the
           River-side
           ,
           there
           happened
           to
           be
           several
           of
           the
           Moors
           ;
           yet
           being
           Night
           ,
           they
           saw
           us
           not
           ,
           save
           only
           one
           Man
           of
           the
           Natives
           ,
           which
           had
           tied
           up
           a
           bundle
           of
           Canes
           fast
           together
           to
           pass
           over
           the
           River
           with
           them
           ;
           to
           whom
           our
           Moor
           gave
           the
           time
           of
           the
           Night
           ;
           and
           he
           answering
           with
           the
           like
           to
           us
           ,
           we
           parted
           :
           and
           going
           higher
           
           up
           ,
           we
           found
           a
           place
           not
           so
           deep
           as
           the
           other
           part
           of
           the
           River
           ;
           so
           got
           over
           ,
           and
           travelled
           up
           a
           Hill
           on
           the
           other
           side
           ,
           where
           we
           found
           some
           Bushes
           ,
           and
           there
           we
           rested
           ,
           and
           our
           Moor
           lay
           on
           the
           out-side
           of
           them
           .
           In
           the
           Morning
           when
           the
           Sun
           was
           risen
           ,
           came
           by
           us
           two
           Moors
           with
           two
           Asses
           ,
           who
           said
           one
           to
           the
           other
           ,
           it
           was
           wonder
           the
           Lions
           had
           not
           devoured
           that
           Man
           ,
           meaning
           our
           Moor
           ,
           who
           they
           saw
           lying
           by
           the
           side
           of
           the
           Bushes
           .
        
         
           On
           the
           third
           Instant
           ,
           after
           the
           Sun
           was
           set
           ,
           we
           set
           forward
           ,
           endeavouring
           to
           get
           to
           the
           Sea-side
           :
           but
           there
           being
           several
           People
           in
           the
           way
           ,
           watching
           with
           their
           Dogs
           to
           keep
           the
           wild
           Beasts
           from
           their
           Gardens
           ;
           which
           we
           hearing
           ,
           were
           fain
           to
           flee
           further
           from
           them
           :
           so
           
           we
           travelled
           a
           little
           further
           ,
           and
           rested
           among
           some
           Rushes
           .
        
         
           The
           next
           Night
           ,
           being

           th
           of
           July
           ,
           we
           travelled
           after
           Sun-setting
           as
           far
           as
           we
           could
           ,
           being
           weary
           and
           faint
           ,
           and
           rested
        
         
           On
           the
           5
           th

           on
           which
           Day

           Sun
           was
           set
           ,
           we
           set
           forward
           ,
           and
           travelled
           till
           we
           came
           to
           a
           place
           where
           was
           a
           standing
           Water
           ,
           being
           thereto
           led
           by
           a
           noise
           of
           Frogs
           ;
           which
           although
           the
           Water
           stunk
           ,
           yet
           drinking
           thereof
           ,
           it
           was
           sweet
           to
           us
           ;
           with
           that
           ,
           and
           a
           little
           Bread
           ,
           we
           were
           much
           refreshed
           ;
           but
           at
           this
           time
           our
           Bread
           was
           gone
           ,
           so
           we
           travelled
           a
           little
           further
           ,
           and
           rested
           .
        
         
           The
           6
           th
           Instant
           ,
           after
           Sun-set
           ,
           we
           went
           forward
           ,
           and
           discovered
           a
           great
           many
           Lights
           which
           the
           Natives
           had
           in
           their
           Tents
           where
           they
           lodg
           :
           So
           we
           
           parted
           a
           while
           one
           from
           another
           ,
           to
           find
           out
           the
           Roads
           .
           At
           length
           I
           came
           to
           a
           place
           where
           the
           Country
           People
           use
           to
           go
           to
           Market
           ,
           where
           we
           again
           met
           together
           ;
           and
           travelling
           awhile
           ,
           we
           heard
           some
           Dogs
           ,
           as
           I
           thought
           ,
           did
           scent
           us
           ;
           and
           near
           that
           place
           we
           met
           with
           a
           Lion
           lying
           by
           the
           Way-side
           ;
           which
           the
           Moor
           seeing
           ,
           before
           he
           roused
           ,
           he
           struck
           him
           fair
           over
           the
           Head.
           So
           the
           Lion
           roared
           at
           him
           ,
           and
           followed
           us
           half
           a
           Mile
           or
           more
           ;
           but
           our
           Moor
           kept
           slinging
           of
           Stones
           at
           him
           so
           fast
           ,
           that
           he
           left
           us
           .
           Then
           we
           came
           to
           a
           Valley
           ,
           where
           was
           a
           Wood
           on
           each
           side
           :
           When
           Day
           appeared
           ,
           we
           rested
           in
           the
           Wood
           ,
           having
           no
           Bread
           to
           sustain
           us
           ;
           but
           we
           durst
           not
           enter
           the
           Wood
           till
           it
           was
           Day-light
           ,
           for
           fear
           of
           the
           Lions
           :
           
           We
           then
           found
           a
           piece
           of
           Pot
           in
           the
           Wood
           ,
           with
           which
           our
           Moor
           brought
           us
           some
           Water
           out
           of
           the
           Valley
           ;
           for
           we
           durst
           not
           fetch
           it
           our selves
           ,
           lest
           the
           People
           saw
           us
           :
           so
           when
           the
           Moor
           had
           brought
           us
           a
           Pot
           full
           of
           Water
           ,
           (
           but
           in
           the
           mean
           time
           we
           were
           lamenting
           our
           sad
           Condition
           for
           want
           of
           Bread
           ,
           having
           then
           no
           Sustenance
           but
           Palm-Berries
           ,
           Grass
           and
           Weeds
           ,
           and
           any
           thing
           we
           could
           eat
           ,
           which
           was
           sweet
           to
           us
           )
           he
           said
           ,
           in
           his
           own
           Language
           ,
           God
           was
           great
           .
           So
           went
           from
           us
           about
           the
           space
           of
           four
           Hours
           ;
           in
           which
           time
           he
           sold
           his
           Sash
           ,
           and
           bought
           us
           a
           small
           quantity
           of
           Bread
           (
           about
           a
           pound
           and
           an
           half
           )
           therewith
           ,
           and
           brought
           us
           a
           little
           of
           it
           ,
           which
           we
           ate
           ;
           and
           he
           fetch'd
           us
           a
           little
           more
           Water
           in
           the
           Pot
           :
           After
           we
           
           had
           eaten
           and
           drank
           of
           the
           Water
           ,
           we
           went
           to
           sleep
           ,
           two
           of
           us
           watching
           .
        
         
           On
           the
           7
           th
           ,
           after
           Sun-set
           ,
           we
           travelled
           on
           ;
           and
           the
           Moor
           slung
           Stones
           ,
           whilst
           we
           passed
           through
           the
           Wood
           ,
           lest
           there
           should
           be
           Lions
           lurking
           thereabouts
           :
           having
           refreshed
           our selves
           with
           the
           Bread
           and
           Water
           ,
           we
           rested
           amongst
           some
           Brambles
           ,
           but
           could
           find
           no
           more
           Water
           that
           Night
           .
        
         
           Then
           on
           the
           8
           th
           Day
           at
           Night
           we
           came
           to
           another
           Wood
           ,
           in
           which
           we
           travelled
           a
           great
           way
           ,
           and
           kept
           two
           of
           us
           awake
           to
           watch
           against
           Lions
           and
           other
           wild
           Beasts
           .
        
         
           On
           the
           9
           th
           we
           set
           forward
           ,
           and
           travelled
           in
           the
           same
           Wood
           ,
           and
           still
           had
           no
           Water
           .
        
         
           The
           10

           ,
           after
           Sun-setting
           ,
           we
           went
           till
           we
           came
           to
           an
           Hill
           
           of
           Rocks
           ;
           at
           the
           bottom
           whereof
           we
           found
           a
           Spring
           of
           Water
           ,
           and
           drinking
           thereof
           ,
           we
           were
           greatly
           refreshed
           :
           and
           there
           was
           a
           little
           River
           ,
           from
           which
           we
           went
           ,
           till
           we
           came
           to
           some
           Trees
           or
           Bushes
           ,
           and
           there
           rested
           .
        
         
           About
           eight
           a

           July
           11.
           (
           it
           raining
           fast
           )
           we
           ventured
           to
           travel
           that
           Day
           ,
           after
           we
           had
           rubb'd
           out
           a
           little
           Corn

           had
           brought
           us
           ,
           having
           no
           Bread
           to
           eat
           :
           so
           went
           to
           the
           top
           of
           an
           Hill
           ,
           on
           which
           grew
           a
           Tree
           ,
           which
           we
           climb'd
           upon
           ,
           and
           espied
           the
           Sea
           at
           a
           great
           distance
           from
           us
           .
           We
           travelled
           all
           that
           Day
           ,
           and
           the
           Night
           following
           ,
           till
           towards
           Day
           ,
           that
           we
           rested
           ,
           but
           had
           neither
           Bread
           nor
           Water
           .
        
         
         
           On
           the
           12
           th
           at
           Night
           ,
           after
           Sun-setting
           ,
           we
           travelled
           a
           good
           way
           ,
           and
           heard
           a
           noise
           of
           Frogs
           and
           Toads
           ;
           to
           which
           we
           made
           ,
           and
           found
           Water
           ,
           which
           we
           drank
           of
           ;
           and
           although
           it
           was
           very
           brackish
           ,
           yet
           it
           was
           pleasant
           to
           us
           ,
           by
           reason
           of
           our
           sore
           Drought
           .
           A
           little
           from
           thence
           we
           met
           with
           a
           Person
           of
           Quality
           ,
           as
           we
           judged
           by
           his
           Habit
           and
           Attendance
           ,
           having
           ten
           Men
           with
           him
           ;
           to
           whom
           our
           Moor
           paid
           his
           Respects
           ,
           and
           gave
           him
           the
           time
           of
           the
           Night
           .
           He
           answered
           him
           again
           in
           his
           own
           Language
           ,
           and
           asked
           him
           whither
           we
           were
           going
           ?
           Our
           Moor
           answered
           ,
           To
           
             Santa
             Cruse
          
           :
           So
           he
           bid
           us
           ,
           God
           speed
           :
           Afterwards
           our
           Moor
           asked
           him
           from
           whence
           he
           came
           ?
           He
           answered
           ,
           From
           Assimore
           .
           So
           we
           departed
           away
           ,
           and
           travelled
           till
           we
           
           found
           some
           Bushes
           ,
           wherein
           we
           rested
           that
           Day
           .
        
         
           July
           13.
           
           After
           Sun-setting
           we
           set
           out
           ,
           and
           came
           so
           near
           to
           Assimore
           ,
           that
           ,
           listening
           ,
           we
           heard
           the
           People
           in
           it
           ,
           and
           saw
           the
           Town
           ,
           which
           stood
           on
           the
           South-side
           of
           a
           Hill
           ,
           and
           a
           River
           by
           the
           Town
           ,
           which
           was
           so
           deep
           ,
           that
           we
           could
           not
           get
           over
           ,
           because
           one
           of
           our
           Men
           could
           not
           swim
           .
           Then
           we
           travelled
           along
           the
           North-side
           of
           the
           River
           ,
           till
           we
           came
           to
           a
           place
           where
           Cains
           grew
           ,
           and
           there
           we
           rested
           by
           the
           River-side
           .
        
         
           July
           14.
           
           After
           it
           was
           Day
           ,
           our
           Moor
           went
           to
           see
           his
           Family
           which
           dwelt
           there
           in
           that
           Town
           .
           We
           having
           been
           a
           considerable
           time
           without
           Bread
           ,
           I
           requested
           our
           Moor
           to
           bring
           us
           a
           little
           ,
           (
           which
           he
           did
           )
           and
           
           likewise
           to
           see
           if
           he
           could
           find
           any
           thing
           to
           carry
           my
           Country-man
           over
           the
           River
           ;
           and
           about
           four
           in
           the
           Afternoon
           he
           returned
           with
           some
           Bread
           ,
           and
           said
           ,
           he
           had
           found
           a
           Tree
           .
           After
           Sun
           was
           set
           ,
           we
           went
           to
           view
           it
           ,
           and
           found
           it
           not
           fit
           to
           swim
           withal
           :
           So
           we
           returned
           ,
           and
           went
           back
           to
           the
           Cains
           ,
           and
           there
           staid
           .
        
         
           On
           the
           15
           th
           Instant
           ,
           when
           the
           Sun
           was
           risen
           ,
           I
           desired
           our
           Moor
           to
           go
           and
           enquire
           of
           the
           People
           ,
           where
           we
           might
           pass
           over
           the
           River
           ?
           The
           People
           told
           him
           ,
           there
           was
           no
           other
           Passage
           but
           by
           a
           Boat
           at
           the
           Town
           .
           So
           our
           Moor
           went
           about
           a
           League
           further
           in
           the
           Country
           ,
           where
           he
           saw
           a
           Man
           and
           a
           Woman
           upon
           a
           Mule
           crossing
           the
           River
           ,
           and
           marked
           the
           place
           with
           some
           Stones
           ,
           that
           we
           
           might
           find
           it
           ,
           and
           so
           returned
           to
           us
           ,
           and
           rested
           till
           Sun-setting
           .
           So
           we
           set
           forward
           ,
           and
           had
           gone
           but
           a
           little
           way
           before
           we
           heard
           a
           Lion
           roar
           ,
           but
           he
           did
           not
           come
           in
           our
           sight
           ;
           then
           we
           came
           to
           the
           place
           where
           the
           Moor
           laid
           his
           Mark
           ,
           and
           sat
           down
           to
           consult
           how
           to
           pass
           over
           there
           ,
           we

           After
           Sun-setting
           we
           travelled

           going
           till
           about
           Midnight
           we
           came

           the
           King
           of
           Portugal
           :
           So
           I
           called
           out
           ,
           and
           the
           Souldiers
           made
           answer
           to
           me
           ,

           were
           ?
           I
           replied
           ,
           We
           were
           three
           Christians
           and
           a
           Moor
           :
           Which
           they
           presently
           acquainted
           the
           Governour
           of
           ,
           and
           bid
           us
           hasten
           nearer
           ,
           lest
           there
           should
           be
           any
           Moors
           in
           the
           hearing
           of
           us
           .
           Which
           we
           did
           ,
           and
           running
           to
           a
           wrong
           place
           ,
           they
           called
           to
           us
           again
           to
           make
           to
           
           the
           two
           Draw-bridges
           ,
           where
           we
           sate
           down
           .
           So
           the
           Governour
           ,
           and
           the
           rest
           of
           the
           Officers
           ,
           came
           to
           the
           Wall
           ;
           and
           after
           he
           had
           examined
           us
           ,
           he
           and
           the
           Guard
           let
           us

           ;
           and
           he
           ordered
           his
           Servants
           to
           bring
           us
           into
           the
           House
           ,
           and
           to
           give
           us
           some
           Relief
           ;
           and
           he
           himself
           came
           to
           us
           ,
           and
           wondred
           that
           so
           little
           satisfied
           us
           in
           our
           eating
           and
           drinking
           :
           So
           had
           us
           into
           another
           Room
           ,
           and
           asked
           me
           ,
           If
           I
           did
           not
           know
           of
           three
           Men
           that
           were
           taken
           by
           the
           Moors
           from
           that
           Garison
           ?
           I
           answered
           ,
           I
           knew
           of
           two
           ,
           but
           not
           the
           third
           .
           He
           bid
           me
           speak
           to
           the
           Moor
           ,
           and
           ask
           him
           ,
           If
           he
           would
           undertake
           to
           bring
           them
           thither
           to
           that
           place
           ?
           So
           I
           spoke
           to
           the
           Moor
           ,
           who
           bid
           me
           tell
           the
           Governour
           ,
           That
           he
           would
           endeavour
           it
           to
           the
           utmost
           of
           
           his
           Power
           .
           So
           the
           Governour
           ordered
           us
           a
           Lodging
           ;

           Morning
           ordered
           his
           Clerk
           to
           write
           a
           couple
           of
           Letters
           ,
           and
           gave
           them
           to
           the
           Moor
           ,
           with
           forty
           pieces
           of
           Eight
           for
           bringing
           us
           thither
           ,
           saying
           ,
           If
           he
           did
           bring
           the
           two
           Portugueses
           ,
           he
           would
           give
           him
           as
           much
           more
           as
           should
           maintain
           him
           and
           his
           Family
           as
           long
           as
           he
           lived
           .
           The
           Moor
           said
           ,
           He
           would
           do
           his
           endeavour
           .
           So
           the
           Governour
           ordered
           Dinner
           for
           us
           :
           And
           about
           four
           a
           Clock
           he
           again
           sent
           for
           me
           and
           the
           Moor
           ;
           and
           bid
           me
           tell
           him
           ,
           in
           his
           Language
           ,
           That
           if
           he
           feared
           any
           thing
           in
           his
           Return
           ,
           he
           would
           send
           some
           of
           his
           Troopers
           to
           conduct
           him
           on
           the
           Way
           .
           The
           Moor
           made
           answer
           ,
           He
           should
           go
           more
           safe
           alone
           .
           After
           Sun
           was
           set
           ,
           the
           Governour
           gave
           
           him
           Victuals
           to
           serve
           him
           ,
           till
           he
           could
           shift
           for
           himself
           .
           And
           the
           Moor
           taking
           his
           leave
           ,
           returned
           ,
           and
           went
           on
           his
           Journey
           .
        
         
           About
           three
           Weeks
           after
           ,
           a
           Portuguese
           Man
           of
           War
           came
           into

           from
           thence
           :
           So
           I
           desired
           of
           the
           Governour
           we
           might
           go
           aboard
           with
           them
           :
           Which
           he
           was
           willing
           ,
           and
           in
           four
           Days
           after
           we
           had
           been
           aboard
           ,
           most

           ,
           the
           Captain
           sent
           a
           Letter

           ashore
           ,
           his

           see
           any
           Moors
           there

           and
           asked

           What
           they
           did
           there
           ?
           The
           Portugues
           told
           
           them
           ,
           They
           came
           with
           a

           three
           Moors
           they
           had
           taken

           They
           offered
           the
           Governour
           two
           thousand
           Dollars
           for
           them

           of
           Money
           .
           He
           answered
           ,
           No
           ;
           for
           they
           had
           taken
           three
           Troopers
           belonging
           to
           his
           Garison
           ;
           and
           he
           heard
           that
           two
           of
           them
           were
           at
           Macqueness
           .
           They
           replied
           ,
           They
           knew
           by
           whom
           he
           heard
           that
           ,
           for
           the
           Christians
           that
           the
           Moor
           brought
           ,
           had
           acquainted
           him
           therewith
           ;
           but
           he
           had
           paid
           dearly
           for
           it
           ,
           for
           ,
           said
           they
           ,
           he
           was
           taken
           with
           the
           Pieces
           of
           Eight
           ,
           and
           Letters
           about
           him
           ,
           and
           carried
           up
           to
           the
           Emperor
           and
           burnt
           :
           At
           which
           the
           Governour
           was
           very
           sorry
           when
           he
           heard
           it
           .
           The
           Governour
           
           then
           told
           them
           ,
           he
           heard
           two
           of
           his
           Troopers
           vvere
           alive
           at
           Macqueness
           ,
           but
           he
           feared
           the
           third
           vvas
           dead
           ,
           because
           he
           heard
           nothing
           of
           him
           ;
           and
           bid
           them
           go
           up
           to
           the
           Emperor
           ,
           and
           prevail
           vvith
           him
           ,
           if
           they
           could
           ,
           for
           the
           two
           Christians
           ,
           and
           bring
           them
           ,
           and
           they
           should
           have
           the
           three
           Moors
           .
           They
           told
           him
           ,
           they
           could
           not
           do
           that
           .
           He
           made
           answer
           ,
           Then
           they
           should
           never
           have
           the
           Moors
           .
           So

           grieved

           knowing
