ever,  she  held  on  till  the  crew  of  her  laid  hold  of  our
vessel's  side  and  scrambled  up  with  the  other  boat's
crew.  My  Lord,  willing  to  spare  our  small  numbers
to  the  utmost  for  what  they  had  still  to  do.  had
quickly  retired  all  his  men  to  the  little  citadel  before
mentioned  on  the  poop  ;  and  thence  we  fired  at  our
will  and  ease  upon  the  Turks,  who  were  running  to
and  fro  in  search  of  us  upon  our  wreck-hampered
deck,  disappointed  no  doubt  at  finding,  after  their
pains  to  come  at  us,  that  we  were  still  out  of  their
reach.  At  last,  seeing  our  game,  they  got  together
in  a  crowd  before  the  mainmast  to  prepare,  as  we
believed,  for  a  storm  of  our  position.
