¹ [The Ganj Sawai (styled Gunsway in the English letters of this date) was seized by the pirate John Avery in 1695. About twenty of the men who accompanied Avery were subsequently arrested and executed in Ireland. The Court of Directors in a letter to Surat in 1696 make it clear that if the Musalman governor had not put all the English, including the President, into irons, they would have been killed by the mob in revenge for the seizure of the pilgrim-ship. (B.C.G., ii. 85.)]
