On 4th October, Siddi Misri (in Maratha service) with 30 gallivats gave battle to Siddi Qasim's squadron of 16 vessels, crowded with his best men, off Kalgaon, 8 miles south of Kolaba Point. But he was defeated after a brief fight, other vessels fled away, and he was carried a prisoner mortally wounded, with seven of his vessels to Bombay. The other Maratha squadron of 80 gallivats under Daulat Khan, lay hiding in the Nagothna river, without venturing out to his assistance. [Orme 113 corrected from Bombay letter of 5 Oct.]
