defectiue was burnt the Enemie sent a shippe full of wildfiere and combustible matters but we preuented it tooke the shippe and sunke it There came 3 of the fleet vnto vs here whoe were left behind in England and had not ben with vs before After this we tooke 2 things into our consideration especially one not to omitt the meeting with the plate fleete if it were possible for vs to be so happy The other was to haue landed at Saint Mary Port if the wind should not serue the fleet to goe out of the Bay of Cadiz because we would loose no time but doe somewhat But as ill luck was the wind came good euen as we were in counsell and before we could fully conclude allthough all was resolued to stand for the plate fleete And if we had not taken the winde at that instant it might haue ben we had not come out in a long time being imbayed in a great deale of danger if a storme had taken vs we had ben likely to haue ben driuen vpon a liegh shoare The resolution in the Bay of Cadiz aboard the Anne Royall the 29 of Octob. was That the whole fleete shall presently sett sayle and plye to the southward Cape and stand off to the westward 60 leagues from the land where I purpose to spend as much time as may be to looke for the Spanish fleet that comes from the West-Indies and to keepe your selues as neare as you can in the latitudes of 37 and 37½ and in the latitude of 36 and 26½ farther to the southward I intend not to goe What other instructions shal be thought fitting you shall receiue as occasion presents in the meane time charging all commaunders to obserue this directions to keepe company with me and the fleet and to looke out and seize vpon the subiects and goods of the King of Spaine or other Enemy This afternoone a generall Counsell was called for the resoluing to send some the most defectiue shippes with the horse ships and the prizes with some land sickmen whereof there was great store Sonday the 30. we sett saile againe though with a contrary wind this day we had 4 shippes in chace but could not fetch them vp Monday the last the wind came westerly yet could we not come forth of the Bay A generall Counsell was called touching the diuers complaints of the defects of ships as the Rainbowe the golden Cock and others wherefore it was resolued that we should plye towards the Isles of Bayon to take in fresh water and repaire our defects as well as we could This day Tuesday the first of Nouember Wednesday the 2 the wind was at north west faire wether Thursday the 3 the wind was at north east and by east in the night we had a calme which continued all Fryday by a Generall consent though wee were in great want of water nor hauing much beer which was our onely defect to stay till the 20 of November But it pleased God so to lay his heauy hand vpon vs that it made vs all astonished for I could here of nothing but that euery day there fell downe so many and so sodenly that they had not men enough to handle their sailes and it is alwayes to be accounted 6 weekes to be allowed to any ship that is homewards bound This day in the morning we discouered 3 sayle of shippes to windward the Dreadnaught being next vnto them and being calme our barge was mand and sent after them whoe comming neere one of the shippes had spent her masts and was towed by the others vntill the barge came vp then the other 2 ships forsooke her hauing pillaged and cutt holes in her but immediately after our men came a board she suncke being laden with Suger and Tobacco and the lyke being therefore supposed to comme from Brasiele and the other 2 Turkish mē of warr that had formerly taken her our barge came back to the Dreadnaught stayed there all night and in the morning came vp to vs. Nothwithstanding I had sundry times before strictly commaunded the Captains and Maisters to stay better by the fleet which they obserued not I did againe charge them once more to obserue their directions that were prescribed them Againe diuers complaints were made of the wants defects of the ships and increase of sicknesse Saterday the 5. the wind continued at north north north east faire weather Sonday the 6 we tooke a Turkishman of warre of Argeere whoe had taken 2 prizes one from Braziele Ioaden with Suger with a Iury mast the other a Scotchman one Iohn Isack dwelling at Douer whoe was fraughted with wood and Iron from Biskey for Saint Lucas by the King of Spaines subiects and had an extraordinary fraught promised for his voyage which showes the great want that the King hath of Timber or shipping to carry it The Turke had not offred him any violence but onely made prize of his goods and promised the Maister his fraught at Argeere so I discharged him againe taking out some English Renegadoes that were willing to leaue him The night following the Turke went away from vs with the Braziele prize the Scotchmā stayed with vs still Monday the 7 we discouered 9 or 10 saile of shippes to the leward we bore vp and found them to be of our own fleet whoe had carelesly lost Company which as now so diuers times before had occasioned vs to chase our own men whereby our course was much hindred Tuesday the 8 a generall Counsell was held whereby it was ordred that 6 of the Coleships should presently goe for England with 3 of the Dutch prizes the horse-shippes whereof Captain Pokinhorne being appointed Admirall had warrant and instructions accordingly but before their departure the Rainebow being found very defective and the Captain Sir Iohn Chiduleigh being very sicke went home Admirall of theis shippes One of the prizes called the Readhart whereof Hughe Bullock tooke charge was wanting this 2 dayes and went for England without any order from me like an vnworthy person Likewise one of the hoye-shippes caled the Trewe Loue was not seen in the fleet since we came forth This day and wednesday the 9 we being in the latitude of 37 laye theise 2 daies at hull Thursday the 10 Sir Michel Geere whoe had ben wanting 5 dayes came to vs whoe went willfully from vs without leaue and when his maister tould him of it he beate him with a Cudgell which is against all discipline and reason his Maister hauing had better commaund before then euer he had This day I gaue the Captains their instructions if we mett with the West-India fleet how to dispose and order them selues This day I sent aboard the Dreadnaught for 10 tuns of beere that were putt into her for the vse of the Anne Royall but the company aboard mutined and would not deliuer it neither would the Captain and Maister acknowledge who were the Mutineeres so that we wanted this Iorny

50 tuns of beere which were carried for vs which made vs liue many dayes vpon beueradge Fryday the 11 of November I called a generall Counsell where it was ordred that the Saint George of the Kings who had 150 sick men in her for the safety of his Maiesties shippe and of those that were yet well that euery shippe should spare them 2 men and take 2 sick men in their steed which they did This day the shippes that were to goe for England were dismissed and sett saile a little before night A Soldier that belonged to the Antony of Captain Blague was duckt at the main yarde arme of the Anne Royall for being mutinous against the Seamen Saterday the 12 and Sonday the 13 faire wether the wind north east Monday the 14 I called a Counsell occasioned by the seuerall cōplaints made of many ships especially the Cōuertiue of his Maiesties cōmaunded by Captain Porter hauing but 20 sound men to handle their sailes wherefore it was ordred that the Reformatiō should send 6 mē aboard her one of the worst Catches being by suruey found vnable to continue the voyage valewed at 55 pound was sunck the men put into the Conuertiue Likewise there were 6 men taken out of other ships put aboard the Talbott Captain Burden which ship was in great want of men and generally all the shippes complained of the like defects Tuesday the 15 and Wednesday the 16 the wind northerly much wind Thursday the 17 the wind north west faire wether We gaue chase to some shippes that were farre a head of vs whome we found to be my Lord of Essex and some of his squadron whome we had not seen in many dayes before Nothwithstanding the often great complaints before generally throughout amōgst the rest came Sir Sam Argall from my Lord of Essex to lett me knowe in what bad estate his shippe was hauing but 15 in a watch to handle their sailes desiring me that I would call a Counsell for that he imagined other ships were in as bad estate as he what we resolued he would agree vnto Where vpon a Counsell was called at which Counsell I forbore to make knowen the defects of the An Royall that were as much as any ship in the fleet made me the rather beleeue the Generall complaints as you shall vnderstand when I speake of my comming into Ireland I desired to know how euery ones case stoode whether it were not possible for vs to haue gone for the Isles of Bayon Then Sir Samuell Argall the rest of the best Seamē that were present by whome we were to be guided gaue their opinion that if we went for the Islāds of Bayō in this miserable estate we were now in we might as well perish there as at Sea by reason we should find no relief there for our sick men nor should we gett on shore there for water in any stormy wether and that wind which would carry vs for Englād would not serue to comme out of the Islands of Bayon that if the wind should shorten going for England we might at the worst retorne for Bayon that all men of experience did certainly affirme that the Plate fleet did neuer comme after Novemb. The Counsell of warre vpon this necessity of sicknes want of men sundry cōplaints of want of beere water many leakes discouered resolued vpon the 17 of Nouember to bend the course directly homeward putt into Faimouth Plymouth or Porthmouth which could be first and most conveniently obtained which resolution if we had not taken we had endāgered the greatest part of the whole fleet Fryday the 18. Saterday the 19. Sonday the 20. and Monday the 21 many violent gusts of wind and raine Tuesday the 22 in regard of the contrary wind and fearing a necessity we came to a shorter allowance a board the Anne Royall Wednesday the 23. Thursday the 24. Fryday the 25. and Saterday the 26 continuall vehement gusts of wind raine and Saterday night the wether began to be more moderate Euer since our first setting forward for England the fleet hath ben scattred more and more so that this day we had but 4 ships in Company with vs which disorder would haue ben aduantageous for the Enemy if they had sett vpon vs. Sonday the 27 in the afternoone it began to blowe hard and about 2 of the clocke in the afternoone our foreyard broake in fower peeces and our foresaile rent Monday the 28 we tooke downe our maine misane mast and fitted it for a foreyard Tuesday the 29 our spritsaile rent we were forced to take it downe this day we had onely 2 shippes one Catch in our company Wednesday the 30 the winde west-south-west faire wether Thursday the first of December and Fryday the 2 the winde being contrary we lay at leigh and fished our fore-mast which we feared the breaking off Saterday the 3 the wind Northerly fowle wether Sonday the 4 the wind southwest towards night more westerly the Sea ran exceeding high Monday the 5 the wind westerly little wind Tuesday the 6 the wind at east at night more southerly this night wee sounded and had 80 fathome water Wednesday the 7 Thursday the 8 and Fryday the 9 the wind easterly about 4 of the clocke in the afternoone vve discouered Silly vvhich did beare south east then vve stood about to the southward Saterday the 19 the vvind continued at east The Maister and the Company vvere very earnest to goe for Ireland by reason the shippe vvas very leaky the men vveake and vve being to the leevvard of Silly and the vvind still contrary and violent and if we should haue ben driuen to the vvestvvard of Ireland vve might endanger the losse of the shippe and our selues Vpon this necessity I condiscended there vnto for that vve could not haue endured 4 dayes such vvas her leake and about 10 of the clocke before noone vvee bore vp The 11 being Sonday the vvinde at east at 9 in the morning we discouered land at the going into Corke so vve stood to the vvestvvard and at 3 in the afternoone came to an anckor at Kinsall where vve found his Maiesties shippes the Antelop the Phenix whoe assisted vs with their boates to bring vs into the harbour And this my ill fortune turned to good fortune both for the releef of his Maiesties shippes and the troopes and allthough I had but small store of mony not hauing with me at the first but 2000 pounds w ch was to victuall the shippes and to releeue all necessities which if I had not had we had ben all in a miserable case yet I made shift to relieue the Soldiers and the Officers saue only a shippe of Captain Butlers who fell vpon the North-coast of Ireland without bringing the King into debt vntill my Lord President Villers of Munster by order from your Lordships receiued them into his charge where we receaued newes that

A IOVRNALL And Relation of the action vvhich by his Maiesties commandement Edvvard Lord Cecyl Baron of Putney and Vicount of Wimbledon Admirall and Lieutenant Generall of his Maiestyes forces did vndertake vpon the Coast of Spaine 1625. Veritas premitur sed non opprimitur Printed in the yeare 1626. THe 8. of Octob. being Saterday wee set sayle about 3 of the clocke in the afternoone with a wind at north north east Vpon Sonday the 9. about 6 of the clocke in the morning we fell with my Lord of Essex my Vice-Admirall and those shippes that were put into Famouth with him and about 9 in the same morning we discouered 7 sayle that were Dutch shippes loaden with salt the wind continued faire enough for vs all that day to lye our course and till 12 at night This day instructions were sent to all the Admiralls and to other Officers and to diuers other shippes The 10 being Monday we were becalmed On Tewsday the 11 in the morning I called a councell for the setling of instructions for a Sea fight as by the 7. and 10. Artikle contained in them may plainely appeare viz 7. Art If the Enemies approach be in such sort as the Admirall of the Dutch his squadron or my Vice-Admirall of the fleet and his squadron may haue opportunitie to begin the fight it shall bee lawfull for them so to doe vntill I come vsing the forme method and care foresaide 10. Art If any shippe or shippes of the Enemies doe breake out or flye the Admirall of any squadron that shall happen to be on the next and most convenient place for that purpose shall send out a competent nomber of the fittest shippes of his squadron to chase assault and take such shippe or shippes breaking out but no shippe shall vndertake such a chase without the Commaund of the Admirall or at least the Admirall of his squadron Likewise it was ordred that 5 men should be put to a messe with the allowance formerly giuen for 4 and warrents directed to all the fleete to that ende Wednesday the 12 about 7 in the morning the winde came to north north west with faire weather it serued well till 6 in the euening the wind increasing so much that it was not sayle-worthy yet being large we bore our foresayle and sprittesayle The Sea grew so high that we towed our long boate in peeces and lost her and the losse of long boates was generall I thinke all within 2 houres one of another so that there was not one saued throughout the whole fleete and one Catch was sunke another by misfortune comming fowle of a shippe was likewise cast away with 3 of her men the rest were saued many shippes were in danger almost to despaire the long Robert of Ipshwich was drownd with 138 Land-men 37 Sea-men the Land-Captaines lost in the wrack were Fisher Hackett a Scotch Captain and Gurling the Captain of the shippe Besides these generall losses there was no shippe in her owne particuler that did not suffer more or lesse in this storme by leakes losse of masts and by casualties and the like In this Tempest we had experience of the Anne Royall her selfe her mastes grewe loose the maine mast was in danger of rowling ouer board two of her greatest peeces of 5000 weight a peece broke loose in the Gunners roome the danger was partly by the negligence of the Officers that did not see carefully to the fitting of these things while we lay in Harbour she would not Hul at all The separation caused by this tempest was so greate that on Fryday the 14 at noone we sawe but one shippe of the whole fleete this day the storme began to cease Then we made observations and found we were in the latitude of 44 and 8 minutes and after recouered 20 sayle of shippes The winde continued faire and large with a gaile running some 7. leagues a watch we steared away with a short course staying for the rest of the fleete On Saturday the 15. about 9 in the morning we discouered more that made 33. at noone we were in the height of 42 and 6 minutes On Sonday the 16 bearing to the north east we steared away southeast and by east to gaine the shoare at noone we found our latitude 39 and 54 minutes The southerne Cape then being by computation south east I gaue order to some shippes to goe and looke out for prizes and discouery and to returne in the afternoone Now we began to make ready for extraordinary fight and gaue the same order to those that were with me and the rest as by my generall instructions vnder my hand may appeare The wind still continued north east and the 17 on Monday we were in 38 and 48 minutes from the toppe was discouered land which was the Rocke of from Lisbon bearing east and by north some 14 leagues from vs I sent now forth againe to discouer the Cape with order not to discouer themselves and to come backe againe with intelligence this day we had a chase but missed it Tuesday the 18 at noone our height was 37 and 36 minutes This day I called a councell for the better resoluing what course to hold for reuniting the fleete much seperated by the late storme This day the Captaines brought in the seuerall complaints of theire defects as Sir Beuerley Newcombe Captain of the Dreadnaught that the vpper beames had been broken and did in fowle weather giue way and the sides of the ship opening receaued in so much water that she was not able to subsist Sir William Saint Leger writte a lettre that he suspected the plague in his shippe but it pleased God it proued not to be so This day I gaue especiall order to all the Captains and Maisters present to keepe more neare together and to haile theire Admirall euery morning reprouing theire former negligence and misorder in that kinde deliueringe them theire orders which should haue been giuen according to the date but we were hindred by the storme wryting thus The small time we haue beene at Sea hath made me take notice of your disorderly sayling from your Admiralls of the seuerall squadrons you may perceaue how the Dutch squadron keepe themselues entire and apart This is therefore to require you to fall into your owne squadron to attend such directions as shall come from your Admirall and not to depart without licence from him or his Officers to make one entire body to sayle in the day time in faire and cleare weather a league or more from anothers squadron and towards night to drawe neare to followe lights in your seuerall places and to take an especiall care that you doe not chase but vpon a great possibilitie for hindring our speede or loosing of time while the wind is faire and that you in the day time beare all the sayle you can to bring vs to the place desired and if any chase it shal be 2 or 3 of the best saylors in your
