No hopes remained of escaping, as the proa was now within musket-shot ; and in less than a quarter of an hour, she was abreast, and to windward, bearing down upon the boats, apparently with an intention to run them down; the Malays all standing up with their lances in their hands, ready to heave, and desiring the boats to lower their sails down ; upon which Captain Lynch stood up, with his musket and a pistol, and pointed them at the chief man of the proa, who was standing alone ; all the peopl...e in the boats, at the same time rising, some with cutlasses, and others with lances in their hands. This determined conduct threw the Malays into such confusion, that every one in the proa, even the man at the helm, fell down ; and hid themselves, crying out, that they were good people, and come to save them. Captain Lynch answered, how could they call themselves good people, when they showed themselves so much the contrary ? Their dread of the muskets appeared so great, that the proa was very near upsetting in the confusion.
