^V^J Poffeffion, bearing how it would fare with
them. Lands forty Men at BarnarMfiorik
Houle, and vowed he would have his Mony
or Goods, or (wore he would beat down
the Town; ft> likewifethe Jonas got her
Sails to Yards, that the Kaddie's Son and
the Chiouz, defired to let it alone until another
day, for fear of worfê Events : So
when they had made an end at Lancelot s
Houle, would ftay no longer, but promifed
to come another day. The Efiate
before mentioned we carried away in
fpight of Envy, and have put it up in a (afe
Cane. As (bon as this was done, becaufe
the Captain would not comeafhore, I got
Jordan to go aboard die Golden Lion, and
know the Matter his Intent, and to acquaint
him with the Danger might enfoe
thereon ; all we could urge was npthing,
except he had (àtisfàcHon for his 9000 Dollars
; at laft told him, if we knew where
his Eftatc lay, we would endeavour to
help him to it ; lb he (bund it out, and we
delivered it to him, and the Man was very
well (àtisfied. And now we hope to
find little Impediment, and to morrow
Morning die Caddie's Son promifèth to
come again,and we doubt not the fame day
but to make an end. If your Lordfbip law
the little regard thefè People bear to the
Grand Signior's Commands, the Caddie,
or ought elfe but their private Ends, your
LordIhip would (as we hope your Lordfhip
will ) not blame us if we procured but
die half of what your Lordlhip's Letter
mentions. Tomorrow ( if God biefs us )
we (hall (end your Lorfhip more punctual
Advice, and for the prêtent crave leave to

Right Honourable,
OUrs of the x6rtadvifed your Lord-
(hip, how with the Caddie's Son,
his Niepe, andChia, we had entred the
Houle of Mr. Lancelots and taken into
our poflèffion the Goods we found therein
sot pretended unto by Strangers i and how
by the infolency of Nicholas Terriek, Ma­
iler of the Hopewell, (formerly the Golden
Lù>») we wereintemipted that day from
'niton Ibrahim,
proceeding any farther; and how by the 1*4*«
means of Captain Jordan, we had pacified ^V^
that young, rafb, and undifcreet Man;
and that wé hoped the next Morning to
proceed without interruption, but it fell
not out (b : for the next Morning we went
toBarnardißons Houle, t hin ki ng to make
all (üre there ; and when we had begun, in
comes the Mailer with a Crew of his own,
and (aid, thole Goods he had received were
not fufficient to give him fàtisfa£tion, and
demanded of us the reft. We aniwered, We
could not give him thefè Goods we had
fèaled up before he came into Port,for what
he demanded ; but allured him, if he
knew of any thing (landing put, we would
endeavour, the heft we could, for his Satisfaction
: Upon this, as we underftood
fince, a young Man of the Houle whiipered
the Maftcr in bis Ear, and told him,
if he were not (àtisfied before the Goods
went out of the Houli-, all was loft, he
would never have a Penny of it : Upon
this, away goes the Maftcr aboard, with
this young Man in his company, and looted
his Sam, but threatned nothing. Upon
this comes in the Jews, and told the Niepe
and the Chia, that the Mafter would (boot
down the Town ; but for all our perfwafions
that he dürft not, away runs the
Niepe & his Company, and leaves us there
alone : (b we refblved to have done it our
(elves ; but the Merchants had (0 worked
with the Hamalls, that there was not one
to be (een ; Co being alone, and feeing bis
Boat coming afhore, well mann'd, and fearing
a furprize, we prefèntfy repaired to
the Chiouzes, and defired bun to go with
us to the Caddies, to fee if we could have
any better aififtance from him. By this
time the T^own was in a great Uproar,
and the People (bmething too infolent ;
the Caddie, to prevent die worft, prefêntly
caufed the Shops to be (hut up, and immediately
font for all die chief Men of
the Town, (who by Prefènts before we
had made our Friends) and there before
them all, and a great company of the
Townfmen, caufed the Commands to be
read, and told them how much they were
bound tofèe the Grand Signior's Commands
put in execution, and what dKhonour itwould
be for one Ship to command the
Town. So after they liad difpuccd the Bufinefs,
the Caddie (ends an Officer aboard
(accompanied with the Druggermen to
the Nation) to know whether he would
hinder the profècution of the Grand Signior's
Command, or no, and to know his
Anfwet? He prefendy denied he ever intended
ro (hoot at the Town, only defired
his own : So prefèndy after the People
were a little appea fed, we went to woricagain,
and (b this day have fini fhed all: it
being done in ftch confufion» we cannot
give your Lord(hip that exaû Accompt
