Dover to Calais, and Henry prepared to follow him thither. A

squadron for the purpose was quickly collected at Sandwich, apparently h'om the Cinque Ports, and on September 4th, the King sailed thence with forty ships, and hmded at Calais on the same day, being received by the Emperor.

In the interim, a large carrack belouging to the euemv seeins to have fonndered off Southampton, with eight htmdred troops on board, a and another carrack, a Genoese, laden with merchandise, had been taken by the merchants of Dartmouth, having been driven into that port by a gale of wind.

Lord Morley, after having survived the battle of Harfieur, where he had greatly distinkmished himself, died of dysentery at Calais. His funend mass, he haxing been a K.G., was attended by the king and the emperor, with their suites.

Soon after mid-day on Septemher 24th, a large calTack of the enemy was sighted h'om Calais, running before the wind, with all sail set, between that place and Dover, mad evidently bonnel for Sinis.

Another returned on Sunday, the 27th, and reported that at dawn on the 25th, Varwick, with five of the hallingers, had come up with the can'ack, which was loftier hy the length of a lance than any of them, and had grappled her and fought her until both parties were at a standstill. Both had, as by common consent, rested, and then renewed the combat mtil night, when the people of the carrack seemed to he nearly exhausted. But the English missiles were by that time all expended, and there were no scaling ladders in the ballingers, so that the carrack eventually got away. A storm obliged the English to make for Orwell, where one of them grounded, but was re-floated and later proceeded to Calais. Another hallinger reached the toxxn on the 2.lth, after her crew had nearly perished for lack of food; and on the same day Varwick himself returned, with the uews of the death of young Lord West, who, wh'ile putting on his armour for the attack, had been crushed by
