remained a whole week in good libertie friendship frequēting the one with the other with great familiaritie during which time the knight of Seure caused his Galliot to be new calked for this purpose the king lent him one of his gallies did further gratefully furnish him of tallowe and other thinges thereunto necessarie Of the great perils and daungers wee were brought into by the meanes of certain christian slaues that were escaped Chap. 7. VPon the Thursday being the xvi day of the said moneth of Iuly a christian slaue of one of the Foystes which had robbed Cotignac being by subtill means escaped cast himself into the Sea to swim to our gally but a Turk of another gallie e●pying hym did likewise cast himselfe into the Sea in swimming followed him so swiftly that he mounted vpon his back and without the succour of our maryners who pulled him being half dead into our gallie had drowned him too whom incontinent came running diuers other Turkes to recouer him amongest other his maister who despayring that his slaue should not remain a liue any long time was contented left him with vs for x. crownes from time to time alwaies came away into our gallies diuers other amongst the rest a young nephew of the captain Coste being slaue vnto a very rich merchāt of Alger Who was perceiued by certain Turks as he was climing into the chief gallie who straighwayes came running with diuers other with great and furious cryes for to recouer him After which time the Turkes and Moores began to conspire openly against vs for too endamage vs by reson whereof the Ambassadour foreseeing the great dangers into which hee or his might fall went twise to the king to haue his dispatch leaue to the end to follow on his voyage on the other side the Rais and Azappis of the gallies persisted instantly too haue againe their slaues affirming that since our arriuall they hadde lost aboue xx of them wherefore vpon Sunday the xix these Rais accompanied with a number of others came againe into our gallies to demaund their slaues and especially the nephew of the captain Coste whō they affirmed to be within the chief gallie vsing very rude and outragious words towards the Ambassadour who excused himselfe and assured them that hee knew nothing therof that he did not think that any of their slaues were gotten into his gallies which he said he would not permit notwithstanding for their more satisfaction to search a new within his gallies galliots assuring himselfe that they should not find any of their slaues To whom for the present they would giue no eare for that their intent was to haue our gallies discharged on land and so haue good means to saccage vs which the Ambassadour wel perceiuing wold not agree vnto thē but to the contrary dispatched the knight De la Seure Cotignac and me to go and declare vnto the king of the great wrong iniurie that was done vnto him But wee were not so soone on land the knight De la Seure did instantly request me in al diligence to return to his galliot for a seruice him greatly emporting touching the slaues of the losse wherof the complaint was made which I willingly accomplished And as I was againe returning to the land● the more to augment our quarrels and the suspitions which the Turkes had conceiued of vs there came incontinent another slaue into my boat with a cofin ful of figs and reysons which he said he would carry to the master of our gallie which I would not permit vnto him consideryng the danger such people put vs into But a Turk which was in another boat perceiuing this came incōtinētly into my boat and by strokes with a staffe chased the slaue into his causing him to mount into a galliot and vppon the sodayne altering his purpose brought him backe againe into my skiffe which in spite of my hearte hee forced too passe along by the poupe of the gallie royal into whiche hee made the slaue too climbe whatsoeuer I could to the contrarie they hoysed me vp by the armes into their gallie as also they did to the master of my skiffe whiche presently and in my presence was made fast by the leg to a chaine and so they kept me as prisoner furiously threatning me that I should not get out of their hands before they had again al their slaues notwithstāding I alwaies shewed an assured countenance making vnto them protestations and remonstrances of the wrong and iniurie they did too our Ambassadour and his and that their master and ours were mightie and sufficient enough to take vp the matter so as in the end they agreed to let me depart but kept my poore master who perceiuing me departing thought himselfe vndone and I was fayne euen alone aswell as I could my selfe too rowe my skiffe to our gallie to giue the Ambassador to vnderstand of all that had hapned vnto me which troubled him very sore forthwith he sent me a land therof to aduertise the knight De la Seure and Cotignac to the intent they should informe the king thereof whom I found on the way comming back agayn with the Caith which is their high Priest hauing charge to do the excuses in the name of the king and shew that it was not he that thus troubled vs but the Iustice of the towne ouer whom he had no authoritie for that Alger is as it were ordered as a particular common wealth This notwithstanding the other persisted in the demaunding of their slaues and too the contrary the Ambassadour sought by al means to appease them with good cheere presents of siluer praing them once againe to view and search his gallies aboue and below which they did curiously enough and finding nothyng of that they sought for yet coulde not perswade them selues and aboue al they sayde that in the Admirall and Galliot there lay manye of theyr slaues hydden and in that opinion they departed for that time not forgetting to take with them the siluer that was giuen vnto them in secret In the meane space we saw al along the mollehead the people with the souldiers both Turkes and Moores looking for nothing more then an opportunitie too saccage vs therefore we set our selues in good order and all the night kept very good watch The nexte day the king caused all hys people to put themselues in armes and sent a great number of Harquebusiers and archars whiche were placed as well vpon the poupes and foreships of his gallies Foystes and Galliots as vppon the shore all alongst the mollehead he caused also to be charged and bent all the Artillerie aswell of the towne as of the gallies against our Gallies and this doone in most furious maner they came to demaund their slaues of vs which seeing the knight de Seure and Cotignac beeing yet aland dyd of new endeuour themselues to speak vnto the
