Of our arriuall in the yle of Pan∣talaree
Chap. 13.
THe other night following, we came too an anker in ano∣ther roade of that Iland about vj. miles from the city, and in the morning one of the warders thinking we had bin of the Emperors party, or of Malta, came into our gallie too make a present vnto the Ambassador of a good quantitie of reysons & figges, which he brought in a goates skin vpon his backe. This present being not so soon rewarded, as it was taken, our trum∣petter was sent with this warder to demand of the Lieuetenant of the yland, ii. slaues of prouence: which the day before were runne away out of the galliot of the knight de Seure. For all we had deliuered them from the captiuity of Alger, with such dan∣ger as before I haue recited vnto you: whilest we renewed our beuerage out of certaine cesternes, and towardes the euenyng, the warder and our trumpeter returned without hauing heard any newes of our slaues, but in the behalfe of the Lieuetenant told the Ambassadour,* 1.1 that the Turkes army was at Malta, and that she had saccaged the towne of Augusta in Sicilia, and that Andree Doria meaning to haue passed from Sicilia towards the towne of Affricque, to furnish the place with souldiers and mu∣nition, did the vj. day of the same moneth of Iulie through euil conduct and lack of knowledge, so beate against the yle of Lam∣pedose, that of xv. gallies, which were with him, there were viii. lost: to wit, his Capitainesse: and two other being his own▪ out of which he and a slaue only were saued, and two which apper∣tained to the Marques of Terre neuf the Patrone of Cigallela patrone of Monego, and the galissa of Sicilia with all those that were within them.
