News having been received that some of Angria's grabs were cruising off Warlee, the _Victoria_ and _Revenge_, manned with crews from the _Salisbury_, were sent out.

After a hot engagement, Angria's commodore, a Dutchman, was killed, and his ship, mounting sixteen guns, taken.
On the same day that the captured ship was brought into Bombay, two other captures entered the harbour.

The Directors had sent out from England three galleys, the _Bombay_, the _Bengal_, and the _Fort St.George_, manned with sailors from the Thames.

As they were proceeding up the coast they found themselves dogged for two days by two strange grabs showing no colours.

Resolved to put an end to it, on the third day, on the 1st November, off Cape Ramus, they shortened sail and called on the strangers to show their colours.
