Thuswe made ready for fight; but all this while we kept out to sea, with windenough, and could see the boats at a distance, being five largelongboats, following us with all the sail they could make.
Two of those boats (which by our glasses we could see were English)outsailed the rest, were near two leagues ahead of them, and gained uponus considerably, so that we found they would come up with us; upon whichwe fired a gun without ball, to intimate that they should bring to: andwe put out a flag ...of truce, as a signal for parley: but they camecrowding after us till within shot, when we took in our white flag, theyhaving made no answer to it, and hung out a red flag, and fired at themwith a shot. Notwithstanding this, they came on till they were nearenough to call to them with a speaking-trumpet, bidding them keep off attheir peril.
It was all one; they crowded after us, and endeavoured to come under ourstern, so as to board us on our quarter; upon which, seeing they wereresolute for mischief, and depended upon the strength that followed them, I ordered to bring the ship to, so that they lay upon our broadside; whenimmediately we fired five guns at them, one of which had been levelled sotrue as to carry away the stern of the hindermost boat, and we thenforced them to take down their sail, and to run all to the head of theboat, to keep her from sinking; so she lay by, and had enough of it; butseeing the foremost boat crowd on after us, we made ready to fire at herin particular.
