But pray tell me, why and when you were condemn'd to the gallies. |
On the 5th of August, the Pacha ordered the janizaries to land with their arms, and all the gallies to man and arm their boats. |
At this period Juan de Costa cruised upon the Malabar Coast with two gallies and twenty-four other vessels. |
Whether by this, either the stores or gallies were saved, is yet unknown. |
Two gallies belonging to this armament were not yet come up. |
Three of their gallies are said to be sunk, the others pulled off. |
