In the northern theatre of this war, "the Portuguese were severely beaten." Kambara, Tulloja (? Tulini) and Kolva were taken by the Peshwa, while Thana and Salsette were in risk of sharing the same fate, (end of November 1683.) Shortly afterwards, Mahim, Quelme (=Kelva), Duntarah (? Dhansar), Sarragom (? Shirgaon), and Supara [Atlas, Sh. 24 S. E.] were captured, and Sabajo burnt; on 22nd December the island of Karinja, only 10 miles south-east of Bombay, was occupied by the Marathas. A month afterwards, the English factors express a fear that "in a short time from Chaul up to Daman in appearance all may be his." (Bomb. to Surat, 28th Nov. and 23rd Dec. 1683 in F.R. Surat 109; Surat to Co., 25th Jan. 1684 in Vol. 91.)
