lost out of a wound received in his leg at the first encounter which indeed was so much when they looked after it that they thought it impossible for one man to loose Insomuch as they which were before most forward began now to prefer their Captains life before that vast Treasure and therefore having recovered him with some hot water and bound up his wound with a Scarf that stopt the bleeding they intreated him to be content to go with them aboard that his wound might be better searched and drest This he would by no means be perswaded to knowing that it would be impossible after such a respite to return to effect the work they came for thinking it more honorable for himself there to die than to leave so high an enterprise unperformed Yet some of them having already gotten some good booty by force mingled with fair words carried him away to his Pinnace judging that by his Life they might recover wealth sufficient but if they lost him they should hardly recover their own home Thus embarquing by break of day having besides the Captain many men wounded though none slain but one Trumpeter whilst the Chyrurgeons were busie in dressing them before they departed the Harbor they took the said ship of wines to cheer up their men but before they had got her out of the haven the Spaniards had remounted one of their Culverins and made a shot at them which yet hindred them not from carrying away the ship to the Isle of Victuals which lies without the Bay Westward about a League off the Town where they staid two Days to cure their wounded and to refresh themselves in those pleasant Gardens abounding with all sort of dainty Roots and Fruits besides great plenty of Poultrey and other Fowls no less strange than delicate Presently after their arrival there came a proper and well spoken Gentleman to Captain Drake indeed to view in what state they were but protesting that he came of his meer good will to see the Captain for that he had undertaken so incredible an enterprize with so few men Adding that at first they suspected them to be French from whom they could expect no mercy but when they perceived by their Arrows that they were English their fears were the less because they knew that though they took their treasure yet they would not be cruel to their persons He told him also that the Governor had consented to his coming yea had directly sent him because there were some in Town that said they knew the English Captain who the two last years had been upon their Coast and had always used their persons civily He therefore desired to know whether it was the same Captain Drake or no Whether the English Arrows were poisoned with which their men were wounded How their wounds might be cured And lastly whether they wanted Victuals or other necessaries with which the Governor was ready to furnish them so far as he durst Captain Drake though he took him for a Spy yet used him courteously and answered to his demands That he was the same Drake that they meant That it was never his manner to poison his Arrows That their wounded might be cured by ordinary Chyrurgery And that he could sufficiently supply all his wants in that Island Adding that he wanted nothing but some of that special commodity which that country yielded to satisfie himself and his company He advised the Governor therefore to be vigilant for that before he departed he would by Gods leave and assistance share with them in some of their Treasure To this the Gentleman replied that if he might move the question without offence what was the reason that being possessed of the town they should so soon leave it wherein there was above 360 tun of silver and much more gold in value in the Kings treasure-house Capt. Drake told him the true cause of their retreat how unwillingly he was carried aboard The Gentleman acknowledged that he had no less cause in departing than he had shewed valor in attempting Thus after fair entertaiment and some gifts bestowed upon him by Captain Drake after dinner he was dismissed protesting that he was never so much honoured by any in his life After his departure a Negro that had fled to them being examined informed them how they might have gold and silver enough by means of the Symerons to whom though himself was hateful because he had betraied them to the Spaniards yet if Captain Drake would protect him he would adventure his life to serve him therein This gave cause of further consultation and because the Island where they were was neither safe nor healthy the next morning they set sail for the Isle of Pinos or Port Plenty where they had left their ships By the way Captain Drake sent his Brother and one Ellis Hixon to the westward to search the river Cagro which he had discovered the year before desiring to have further knowledge of it because it tended Southward within six leagues of Panama upon which river at a town called Venta Cruz they used to imbark their treasures that by Mules was brought from Panama and so to send it by water to Nombre de Dios. This cost them three days rowing to get as far as Venta Cruz but they came back in a day and a night When Captain Drake came to his ships Capt. Rawse suspecting that they could not now safely continue upon that coast being thus discovered was willing to depart and Capt. Drake was as willing to dismiss him wherefore Aug. 7. taking his leave he left them in the aforesaid Isle where they had remained five or 6 days After which having put all things in readiness Capt. Drake resolved with his two ships and three Pinnaces to go to Carthagena and six days after he came to Anchor with his ships between the Islands of Charestra and S. Bernards and himself led the three Pinnaces about the Island into the harbor of Carthagena where they found a Frigate at Anchor aboard which was only one old man who told them that the rest of his company was gone a shore to fight about a Mistress telling Capt. Drake also that a little before there speedily passed by a Pinnace calling to him and asking whether there had not lately been there some English and Frenchmen and being told that there had not he hasted away after which he saw divers small ships bringing themselves under the Castle Capt. Drake farther learned by him that within the next point rode a great ship of Syvil that being unloaden was the next morning bound for S. Domingo wherefore taking this old man with him he rowed to that ship and with his Pinnaces presently boarded her though with some difficulty by reason of her height As soon as they had entred they threw down their gates and Spardecks to prevent the Spaniards from hurting them with their close fights who seeing the English possessed of their ship stowed themselves all
