Biddulph, John

"The Pirates of Malabar, and an Englishwoman in India Two Hundred Years Ago"

_Lembourg_ of the House of _Lembourg_ in
_Germany_, and Mr. _Goring_, a Son of my Lord _Goring's_ in _England_,
went _incognito_ in one of the _East India_ Company's Ships, for India.
They left Letters directed for their Relations, in the Hands of a
Friend of theirs, to be delivered two or three Months after their
Departure, so that Letters of Credit followed them by the next Year's
Shipping, with Orders from the _East India_ Company to the Chiefs of
the Factories, wherever they should happen to come, to treat them
according to their Quality. They spent three Years at _Carwar, viz:_
from Anno 1678 to 1681, then being tired with that Sort of Pleasure,
they both took Passage on board a Company's Ship for _England_, but Mr.
_Goring_ died four days after the Ship's Departure from _Carwar_, and
lies buried on the Island of _St. Mary_, about four Leagues from the
Shore, off _Batacola_, and Mr. _Lembourg_ returned safe to _England_."
Four months after his return to Carwar, Harvey died, leaving his girl-wife
a widow.
