We landed without any noise, and divided our men into two bodies,whereof the boatswain commanded one and I the other. We neithersaw nor heard anybody stir when we landed: and we marched up, onebody at a distance from another, to the place. At first we couldsee nothing, it being very dark; till by-and-by our boatswain, wholed the first party, stumbled and fell over a dead body. This madethem halt a while; for knowing by the circumstances that they wereat the place where the Indians had stood, they waited for my comingup there. We concluded to halt till the moon began to rise, whichwe knew would be in less than an hour, when we could easily discernthe havoc we had made among them. We told thirty-two bodies uponthe ground, whereof two were not quite dead; some had an arm andsome a leg shot off, and one his head; those that were wounded, wesupposed, they had carried away.

The first disaster that befell uswas in the Gulf of Persia, where five of our men, venturing onshore on the Arabian side of the gulf, were surrounded by theArabians, and either all killed or carried away into slavery; therest of the boat's crew were not able to rescue them, and had butjust time to get off their boat. I began to upbraid them with thejust retribution of Heaven in this case; but the boatswain verywarmly told me, he thought I went further in my censures than Icould show any warrant for in Scripture; and referred to Luke xiii.4, where our Saviour intimates that those men on whom the Tower ofSiloam fell were not sinners above all the Galileans; but thatwhich put me to silence in the case was, that not one of the
