About 2nd April 1685 two ships and 3 or 4 more ghurabs of his armada entered Karwar harbour, having taken several vessels belonging to the Karnatak people [i.e., Kanarese] and Portuguese,...and some also that belong to their own country people. It was reported that they were going again to the southward to rob some place or other in Kanara, so that the Rani [of Sunda] sent down 1000 soldiers to Mirjan to be ready to repel the raiders Some three weeks afterwards, they took two vessels out of the Mirjan river, a large and a small ghurab, belonging to the Portuguese and laden with plank &c.
