Then within two Moneths after a Deputy Gouernour was chosen Who was Prisoner also vnto whome a Portyngall who was our great friend in the pryson framed a Petition which was deliuered by Iohn Frengham our Countrey-man Whose Answere was to him that if we could procure any Spaniards to bayle vs for our foorth comming we should be at liberty Which graunt Signiour Francisco Lopus and Antonio Cambero had no sooner heard of but they entred in Bond of a thousand Duccates for our foorth-comming The cause why Francisco Lopus did this for vs was because Captaine Drake when he tooke Carthagena did saue all his fathers goods and his life withall And at our deliuery the Tenientie told vs that although by order of Lawe they could iustly haue put vs to death Yet seing God had so myraculously saued vs and that wee had indured so many miseries to saue our liues and that onely we came to them for succour and reliefe they were content to set vs at libertie Then Francisco Lopus brought vs a discharge from the Gouernor to the Iayler for our deliuery out of pryson and brought vs all thrée to his owne house where was prouided for euery of vs a seuerall bedde for the country is so hot wee cannot lye but one in a bed Our entertainement was great and all our seruices in plate with great varietie of meates and all the most delicious Indians fruites whatsoeuer and yet he thought wee neuer fared well without hee sent vs one extraordinary dish or other from his owne table Also many Gallants resorted to his house to play at Cardes who would shewe themselues very liberall vnto vs at their winning There wee continued in great pleasure vntill the Galliouns were readie to goe for Spaine with the treasure The Citty of Carthagena is a place of great force for by Land you can not come to it but one way which is strongly garded it is almost encompassed with the Sea It hath foure Castels two at the entrance of the Harbour and one within where Chaynes are drawne acrosse the water The fourth is within the Citty where their Court of guarde is kept of 500. Souldiers and it hath foure Churches The day before we embarqued Aug. 25 there came two more of our company from Coro which was Miles Pet and Richard Farne Francisco Lopus procured vs passage in thrée seueral Ships Philip Glascocke Miles Pet and Richard Farne in the Ship called St. Bartholomew Richard Garrard in La Madre de Deos my selfe in La Santa Cruse So we were a moneth in sayling to the Hauanna which is neere thrée hundred Leagues from Carthagena Sep. 20. In the Hauanna we liued al ashore with eightéene pence a day for our dyet It is a place of great strength for it hath I. great Castle built vpō the Rocks at the entrance of the Harbour and another within on the other side which commaund all the Towne and Harbour And the thrée within the towne where Don Pedro de Valdes was Gouernor which was Prisoner in the Tower 1588. There they victualled the Flat and watered and repayred their shippes because they had no victuall to serue all the Fléete they left two ships there the out whereof was that wherein our three men were placed called the S. Bartholomew the other the S. Vincent And about the tenth of October wée departed for Spaine by the Bermouthos and shot the Gulfe of Florida in eight dayes against the wind and so w●● were nine weekes in sayling betwixt the Hauanna and the coast of Spaine the tempest and stormes wée had were wonderfull great in so much that all the Fléete were dispersed and not aboue two shippes did hold cōpany together which put them in great feare lest they should haue met with the Flemings who might with thrée good ships haue taken all their treasure with small adoe for euery little Caruill did put them in feare thinking her to be a man of warre And within thrée dayes before we came in sight of Spaine we ouertooke one of the company which had béene long wanting And the Master of the Santa Cruse wherein I was thinking to welcome her with a peale of Ordinance went himself without the ports to charge a peece and suddenly fell into the Sea and before we could bring the ship assayes he was drowned And vpon the fiftenth of December wée came against the barre of Saint Lucas but could not enter because the winde was contrarie Then came the Gallies out of Cales and towed vs into Cales where they vnloded the treasure This made well for vs which were prysoners for they were so busie with the Plate that they neuer regarded vs for when the Captaine and Souldiours were gone with it we went ashore to Cales without controulment And when I thought to haue béene secure the Captaine with whome I came home by chance met me in the stréete and called me to him and said that I did know how that I was deliuered vnto him as prisoner and willed me to come to him in Saint Lucas and there he would séeke a discharge for me And I promised him that I would come but afterward I feared that hee would haue deliuered me to the Iustice so not daring to trust him I neuer came in his fight more but sought all meanes for my passage which I found harder to get then when I was in the Indies for our owne Coūtrimen would answer vs that they would not in danger themselues to take vs without we had a discharge from the Spaniards Whose vncomfortable speeches did much dismay vs so we remained in Cales in Saint Lucas and in Siuill without any hope of passage one moneth and more at the charge of Iohn Frendgeham William Gourdon Ioh Dane who was chiefe Trumpeter of the Spanish Fléete and Iohn Painter a Musician And at the last despayring of passage M. Garrard got passage for Sandwitch And my selfe made moane to Master Barwicke Master of a little Ship of Welles in Norfolke called The George who at the first word graunted mée passage So on the second day of February 1606. hee landed me safely at the Downes in Kent giuing me two shillings to bring me to London FINIS
