was let downe, and they came to the Barke of _Tor Bay_,
where the Masters Mate beeing left (as before you have heard)
apprehended quickly the matter, and heard the Discourse with amazement.
But time was precious, and not to be spent in disputing, or casting of
doubts, whether the _Turkes_ that were with them were able to master
them, or no, beeing seven to sixe, considering they had the helme of the
ship, and the _Turkes_ being Souldiers, and ignorant of Sea Affaires,
could not discover, whether they went to _Algier_ or no; or if they did,
they resolved by _Rawlins_ example to cut their throats, or cast them
over-boord: and so I leave them to make use of the Renegadoes
instructions, and returne to _Rawlins_ againe.

The Master of the Barke of _Tor Bay_, and his Company were quickly
searched, and as quickly pillaged, and dismissed to the libertie of the
shippe, whereby _Rawlins_ had leisure to entertayne him with the
lamentable newes of their extremities, and in a word, of every

the Gunner roome two Curtleaxes, and the slaves had five Crowes of Iron
before them: Besides, in the scuffling they made no question of some of
the Souldiers weapons. Then for the manner, hee told them, they were
sure of the Ordnance, the Gunner roome, and the Powder, and so blocking
them up, would eyther kill them as they came downe, or turne the
Ordnance against their Cabbins, or blow them into the Ayre by one
Strategeme or other; and thus were they contented on all sides, and
resolved to the Enterprize.

The next morning, being the seventh of February, the Prize of _Tor Bay_
was not to bee seene or found, whereat the Captaine began to storme and
sweare, commanding _Rawlins_ to search the Seas up and downe for he
