four Dutch fail of the line in Ferrol, which (leaped
in a dark and flintily night ; we chafed them as far
as the Illand of Madeira. In the mean time four fail
of the Fiend; line got fate into Ferrol, and we are
now cruising off that port to hindes them from join-
ing their grand Ant. We fent, a few days pad, a
boat on fore, to parchafe frelh float ; the Gervernor,
for Come time, refuted to let them land, and when
they got on iretorethe Spaniards were fo Hey that they
