「右帖」
あちこちと漕ぎ回って掛かろうとしたが、夜中のため分からず、総船もあちこちと漕ぎ回って唐船を探していると、ようやく夜が明けた。沖が晴れ渡って唐船を見つけ、三里ほども隔てているのを押し掛ける折、朝嵐が吹いて唐船は帆を引き回して走り、二里ほどあって唐船から石火矢を一発撃ち掛けて出船する。総船は押し船なので追いつきかね、船子が精一杯漕いで追いかけるところに、また石火矢を一発こちら方より撃ち掛けるので、加子の者たちが怯んで櫓が進まず、櫓を押さない船は進まないので、玉竿で水夫の者を打ち叩いて励まして押させたところ、地風が止んで西風になり、唐船は増々流されて漂う。ここに若松治平、丸尾弥兵衛の乗船が
「左帖」
唐船に追いついて大筒を撃ち掛ける間に、四宮助太夫、平野宅助の舟が追いつき、四艘で込め替え込め替え、少し程遠くはあったけれども撃ち掛ける。その後は唐船からも石火矢を放たず、唐人は皆々船底に入り、しばらくこちら方から追い撃ちに撃ち掛けるところに、西風が吹いて船の間が遠く離れたので、皆々撃ち止めて引き取る。西川総左衛門の船はついに追いつかなかったので矢を放つことはしなかった。右で撃ち掛けた玉数合計百八十発、唐船から石火矢を撃ち掛け、こちらからも当たりの矢を返し撃ち掛けた。その後唐船が退いたところにより引き取り、十一日未の刻頃芦屋に帰る。唐船はその後二十四、五里も沖へ漂流したと島々から注進があった。

"Right Volume"
They rowed around in various directions trying to engage, but being nighttime they could not tell, and as all ships were also rowing around in various directions searching for the Chinese ship, dawn finally broke. The offshore waters cleared and they spotted the Chinese ship about three ri away and pressed forward to attack. At that moment, a morning storm blew and the Chinese ship adjusted its sails and sailed away. About two ri later, the Chinese ship fired one stone fire arrow and set sail. Since all our ships were rowing vessels, they could not catch up easily, so the sailors exerted themselves to pursue. At that point, another stone fire arrow was fired from our side, causing our crew members to become frightened and unable to work the oars properly. Since ships that don't push the oars cannot advance, they used bamboo poles to strike and encourage the sailors to row. Then the land breeze stopped and became a west wind, causing the Chinese ship to drift even more. At this point, the vessels of Wakamatsu Jihei and Maruo Yahyōe

caught up to the Chinese ship and fired cannons at it. Meanwhile, the boats of Shinomiya Sukedayū and Hirano Takusuke also caught up, and with four vessels they took turns reloading and firing. Although they were somewhat distant, they continued to attack. After that, the Chinese ship stopped firing stone fire arrows, and all the Chinese crew went into the ship's hold. For a while, our side continued the pursuit and attack, but when the west wind blew and the ships became widely separated, everyone ceased firing and withdrew. Nishikawa Sōzaemon's ship never caught up, so it did not fire any arrows. The total number of projectiles fired from our side was 180. The Chinese ship fired stone fire arrows, and we returned fire with our own arrows. Afterward, as the Chinese ship retreated, we withdrew and returned to Ashiya around the hour of the Sheep on the 11th day. Reports came from the islands that the Chinese ship subsequently drifted 24 or 25 ri offshore.
