Off the coast of Malta, a group of four galleys that were supposed to join the Anti-Ottoman League were captured by an entire corsair fleet, in the pay of the Ottomans, with 19 galleys. This fleet was Uluc Ali, known to the Italians as Uccialli or Occhiali. Three galleys were captured, and one survived. Uluc Ali had the statue of St. John the Baptist, captured on one of the three galleys, hung by its feet in the port of Algiers. The pilot and the captain of the ship, the capitana, who survived in the port of Agrigento, were tried and hanged for having taken a wrong course.
