awes, some of the rigging, ate. they beamed am. the
.1 rag bolo, and threw it overboard (during this time
ten oiler misticoes, of the same class as the former.
came alongside) and loaded her with- fruit r• some .of
the pirates got into her,_ AO made my mete' and
two of the veer go • with them to land the finit ;
they then found t o bales of carpets, which each
rowed desirous to possess, and so eager were they
to obtain this (to all ap,oatanoe to them) choice
booty, .that cutting pieces off with their yattghans
(sfrords)e, the. bawd-or arm of a comrade was no imp,-
(hoot. and they cut through all that came in their
tray; doting this.! may justly say sanguinary scramble.
I found that my vessel was drifting fast towards the
rock, qn the south-east point of Serpho, and perceiving
a light air off the laud, I put the helm down. One Si
the Captains seeing me do this, ran at no add amok
we a blow on the chest with his yattighan t I fell with
the farce of tut low, and lay seaselesa for tan as*
add I am assert° say I fed the 'effects of it twillw
meat ; I was not the ugly. one who bad full penal of
their atrocious hasharity, for they maltreated every sot
of my maw, and took every single thing of oar hack%
", During the base the boats were oa sboredischa-ging
the fruit,,two of the Captains spoke to me .in Italian ;
woof them I remembered, at did my mates to have seen
before at Milo, and knew him moist by a large scar on
his face, and from hia having lost his right,haod thumb ;
be came en board of me when I pat into Milo outward-
baud, and bought various things, and then told me
he was en Hydriot. The villain asked me when the
Heinle and Sultan that sere boding fine goods at
bayrea were. to sad, and if they were to eons° with
convoy? He also said,' the more piracies we commit.
the sooner we shall have our liberty with the, assist-
.ante of the E'-glish.' He then told me. that be was
engaged in. the piracy committed on the John, when
they got 30,000 dollars, and that they took a Turk
nut of the John. Ind made him pay a t.eavy ransom.—
lie said, they did not care for Wigs of war, and thrt if
.20 boats were not. sufficient to get ail the plunder they.
wanted, they would have out 40, for they bad 3,000
teen belonging to the gang, and they were principally
from Candia and Serpho. At half-past two a.m. they
consulted. and resolved to strip the vesul of every thing.
murder all of us, and sink the hell; tot the Captain 1
before mentioned remonstrated with them, atd saved
es: this be did, became he thtught be saw a vette;
mating us.
"Ac three a.m. they left as, bat we were again boaried
before day-break by another mistico, which they loaded'
vith fruit, and left us at five. Shortly after this, my
longboat returned with the mate and the two mend
moire exhausted. During the whole of this diabolical
act it was calm. I was now left with my vessel rendered]
almost useless, and myself and crew nearly in a state of',
nudity, and without a chart or compass; still I deter.
mined, with what was left woe, to endeavour to reach
the island of Milo. which, thanks to Paovrossee, I did
without further interruption on the 21st at midnight,
and set to work to repair nay vessel in the best way 'could.'
" On the 28th, his Majesty's sloop Rose, cams into
Milo, with a prise, and offered me convoy as far as Cape
Matapan, which I availed myself of, and then made the
beat of my way to Malta, as it would have been impel,-
able to proceed to London in the state the vessel was.
On the 6th, after we.pazted company with the Rose, au
about 30 miles distant from Malta, that island bearing
due west. we were again stopped by,a Greek national
brig of 12 guns, and full of men; but providentially a
heavy squall came 00. we parted, and saw no more of her.
"We arrived at Malta on the Bth of October. Ere
I conclude this 1 mu-t, in justice to my mate and crew.,
state, that when we first saw she pirates, they one and
all offered to defend the vessel as well as they could ;
but when I saw the disparity was so great; I would not
allow of it, as it would have insured us immediate an-
niltilatims, find the certain loss of the vessel.'
