Summary
Vpon the 3. day of Iuly 1568 [1569] they embarked themselues at Teraslaue, being accompanied with Lionel Plumtree and some 12. Englishmen more, in a barke called the Thomas Bonauenture, of the burden of 70. tunnes, taking also along with them of Russes to the number of 40. for their vse and imploiments. It fell out in the way, before they came to Astracan by 40. miles, that the Nagaian Tartares, being a kind of theeuish and cruell people, made an assault vpon them with 18. boates of theirs, each of them being armed, some with swords, some with speares, and some others with bowes and arrowes, and the whole number of them they discouered to bee about 300. men. They, for their partes, although they could haue wished a quiet voiage and iourney, without blowes and violence, yet not willing to be spoiled with such Barbarians as they were, began to defend themselues against their assault, by meanes whereof a very terrible and fierce fight followed, and continued hote and sharpe for two howers, wherein our men so well plaid their parts with their caliuera that they forced the Tartares to flee with the losse of 120. of them, as they were afterwards enformed by a Eusse prisoner, which escaped from the Nagaians, and came to them to Astracan, at which towne they arriued the 20. of August.
