After levelling several of the foldiers to the ground, the Count, by the mifmanagement of their commander, feized their cannon, turned them with fuccefs against the fort itself, and, entering by means of the draw-bridge, difpatched the twelve remaining guards who were then within it. "Madame Nilow and her children," fays the Count, "at fight of me, implored my protection to fave their father and husband. I immediately haftened to his apartment, and begged him to go to his children's room to preserve his life; but he answered, that he would first take mine, and instantly fired a pistol, which wounded me. I was defirous nevertheless of preferving him, and continued to represent that all refiftance would be useless, for which reafon I intreated him to retire. His their knees, but nothing would avail: wife and children threw themselves on he flew upon me, feized me by the throat, and left me no other alternative than either to give up my own life, or run my the petard, by which my affociates atfword through his body. At this period tempted to make a breach, exploded, and burst the outer gate. The fecond was open; and I faw Mr Panow enter at the head of a party. He entreated the Governor to let me go, but not being able to prevail on him, he fet me at liberty, by fplitting his fcull. The Count by this event became complete mafter of the fort, and by the cannon and ammunition which he found on the rampart, was enabled, with the reafed affociates, to repel the attack which dy and active affiftance of his now increawas made upon him by the Coffacks: but flight, not refiftance, was the ultimate object of this bold commander; and in order to obtain this opportunity, he dif patched a drum and a woman as a fign of parley to the Coffacks, who had quitted the town and retired to the heights with a refolution to inveft the fort, and starve the infurgents, informing them of his refolution to fend a detachment of affociates into the town to drive all the women and and children into the church, and there to burn them all to death, unless they laid down their arms. While this embaffy was fent, preparation was made for carrying the threat it contained into immediate execution; but by submitting, to the proposal, the execution of this hor. rid measure was rendered unneceffary; and the Count not only received into the fort fifty-two of the principal inhabitants of the town as hoftages for the fidelity of the reft, but procured the Archbishop to preach a fermon in the church in favour of the revolution. The Count was now complete Governor of Kamfchatka, and having time, without danger, to prepare every thing neceffary for the intended departure, he amufed himself with ranfacking the archives of the town, where he found several manufcripts of voyages made to the eastward of Kamfchatka, which were of great use to him. The confpirators, previous to their hoftilities against the Governor, had prudently fecured a corvette of the name of St Peter and St Paul, which then rode at anchor in the port of Bolfha, and their fubfequent fuccefs afforded them the means of providing her with fuch ftores as were neceffary for the intended voyage. On May 11. 1771, the Count, as commander in chief, attended by Mr Cuftriew as fecond, by fixteen of his fellowcaptives as quarter guards, and by fiftyfeven foremalt men, together with twelve paffengers and nine women, among whom was the lovely Aphanafia, difguifed in failor's apparel, went on board this vef fel, and on the next day weighed anchor, and failed out of the harbour on a fouth ern course, intending to continue their voyage to China. On May 20. the Count and his companions anchored their veffel in a bay on the coaft of Beering's land, where they found the celebrated Capt. Ochyton and his followers, who had alfo efcaped from exile in Siberia, and were wandering in fearch of that fettlement which, from their reftlefs difpofitions, they were doomed never to find. The Count, however, was not to be detained by the blandifhments of friendhip; he departed from this island, and arrived, after experiencing many hard. ships and dangers at fea, at the harbour of Usilpatchar in Japan on Aug. 2. from whence, not meeting with a very friendly reception, he again immediately fet fail, and arrived on Sunday Aug. 28. at the island of Formofa. The inhabitants of Formosa at first appeared inclined to treat him with respect and civility, parti cularly Don Hieronymo Pacheco, formerly captain at the port of Cavith at Manilla, who had fled from that employment to the island of Formosa, in confequence of his having, in a moment of rage, maffacred his wife and a Dominican whom he had found in her company: But thefe profeffions were foon found to be deceitful; for on sending his men on shore to fetch water, they were attacked by a party of twenty Indians, many of them dangeroufly wounded, and Mr Panow, the Count's most faithful friend, killed. Don Hieronymo, however, contrived to exculpate himself from any knowledge of, or concern in this treachery, and advised the Count to feek revenge by a conqueft of the island; but he contented himself with provoking the natives to a fecord attack, and repulfing them with confiderable slaughter. His men, however, infifted on going in queft of the Indians, in order to make them feel their further vengeance. The remonftrances of the Count were to no ef fect, and at length, complying with their defires, he requested Don Hieronymo to guide them towards the principal refi dence of the nation who had given him fo bad a reception, where, after a fhort and unequal conflict, he killed 1156, took 643 prisoners, who had proftrated themselves on the ground to beg for mercy from their affailants, and fet fire to their town. The Prince of the country, notwithstanding this maffacre of his fubjets, was introduced to the Count by his Spanish friend; and a cordiality at length took place between them to fuch a degree, that the Count entered into a formaltreaty for returning and settling at Formofa; but his fecret motives for making this engagement appear to have been, the execution of a project he had filently conceived, of establishing a colony there. On Monday Sept. 12. the Count and his affociates failed from Formofa; on the Thursday following the coaft of China was in fight; and two days afterwards his veffel was piloted into the port of Macao. At this place Mifs Nilow died, which he fays affected him greatly, as he intended to repay her attachment, by marrying her to one of his companions. Here he was treated with great refpect by the Governor and the principal men of the town; and on October 3. 1771, Capt. Gore, then in the fervice of the English East-India Compa ny, |
