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

squadron Dated the 11 of Octob. Commanding them to pervse theire other Artickles euery day that they might be expert in them Wednesday the 19 in the morning we were in the height of the Cape and discouered 11 sayle of shippes which we chased thinking they had beene enemie but they proued to be of our owne being the Vice-Admirall my Lord of Essex also this day we discouered about 40 sayle more which had lost vs in the storme being my Lord Denbigh my Lord de la Ware and others At the same time my Lord of Denbigh mett with a small Caruell a Portugall that came from Terceras we tooke him to haue beene our discouerer for the Enemie but he was only driuen by the storme from the Terceras going to an Island not farre distant called Gratiosa he told vs the plate fleete was not come but that 5 Carrickes passed by that waye bound for Lisbon some 14 dayes before that time but that one of them was sunke if we had come sooner out they could not haue escaped vs. We vnderstood by those that came with my Lord of Essex that they made fiers along the Coasts and vp the Countrie which when we drew nigher we discouered Thursday the 20 I called a Counsell and lay all day by the lee to gather our shippes together that were missing The businesse of the Counsell was how to put into Saint Lucas according to the intent of a Counsell held at Plimouth where his Majestie was present who vpon the doubtfullnesse there of the resolution thought good to referre it to our consideration vpon the place when wee should be arriued vpon better inquirie of the conueniencies disaduantages both for going into the Harbour landing our Armie It was deliuered by the opinion of most of the Maisters that the Hauen of S. Lucas is so barred as it is hard and dangerous both for the going in and comming out especially for shipps of burthen as his Majesties are that they could not passe in nor out but only in spring tides in calmes seasons and with fauoring windes nor ride safe all weathers without the Bay And it was obserued by others that the most part of the Maisters of the fleete will hardly aduenture to carrie theire shipps in or out at Saint Lucas in the best tydes and weather for want of perfect knowledge of the sands and shoales that are there and the right vse of the landmarkes whereby that Pott is to be gained and quitted in safetie Besides it was feared that if we should put the whole fleete into such a straight we should be more apt to be blocked vp by our Enemies then to annoy them neither could any shippe come speedily out to haue encontred with the plate fleete our cheefe designe Then I demaunded both of the Sea Captains Maisters why they could not speake of this difficulties before his Maiestie Their answere was it is now in the deapth of winter stormy and that they did tell his Maiestie that it was a Barrd Hauen and dangerous to all men especially to those that had not often passed it and that being vpon the place they could consider more perticulerly vpon the difficulties then discourse of it when they were farre of So that I could say no more to them being I was no great Seaman and that I was stricktly tyde to theire advice that did professe the Sea Where vpon it being propounded by Sir Sam Argall that Saint Mary Porte neare the Bay of Cadiz and not farre distant from Saint Lucas was a lowe shoare and more fitt for the landing of our men then any place about Saint Lucas for we could find none there and that our shippes might haue good riding there out of the danger of Cadiz and that from thence we might march to Saint Lucas by land which was not 12 miles distant There vpon it was resolued and ordred by the advice of the Councell of Warre that the whole fleete should forthwith beare into the Bay of Cadiz that the whole fleete should ancker before Saint Mary Porte as the fittest place to land in and the Earle of Essex Vice-Admirall is assigned with his squadron to anckor first and to leaue birth sufficiently for the rest of the fleete and that my selfe and the Dutch Admirall should anckor next that I might the better giue directions both to the Vice-Admirall and Reare-Admirall who anckored some what short of me by order to guard the whole fleete and to giue warning vpon all occasions if any Enemie should approach Fryday the 21 we stood according to directions the wind scanted vpon vs all that day about 8 or 9 of the clocke at night the wind shifted westerly we strucke a hull for that we could not put to leeward till towards day which appearing we sett sayle and had a sight of Granado ouer Cadiz and bore in accordingly with a good saile the wind being betweene the west south west and the north west Saterday the 22 after this resolution was taken I gaue order as before when we discouered the Rocke that euery shippe should breake downe their Cabines and cleare theire shippe of all impediments and to be ready to fight vpon all occasions according to their generall instructions giuen them to that purpose for that we were to enter in at the Bay of Cadiz and knew not what ships might be there and because of the tyde that serued vs to goe into the Bay I wrote to my Lord of Essex to make all the hast he could and to hoyse vp all his sayles that we might saue as much of the tyde as we could and that I would againe commaund his squadron to follow him which I did but I must confesse they went the most vntowardly that euer I did see men for they did not hoyse vp all their sayles as they were commanded Seeing the Vice-Admirall packe on all his I followed as fast as I could and cryed out to them to hoyse their sayles advaunce some of them increased theire sayles but not much But I could neuer learne by all the Seamen in my shippe to know those shippes that were so backward and when I did inquire euery man excused himselfe saying it was not he and our businesse grew so hott that I could not immediately inquire after it any further not knowing the shippes one from another This day we tooke 3 shippes that came from Saint Lucas which Captain Raymond brought in loaden with salt wines wooll figges raisins some cutchaneale c. who said they belonged to Hamburgh and to Calis but were conceaued by much probabilitie to be Dunkerks goods In our approach into the Bay we discouered 18 or 20 sayle of great and small shippes at anckor in the Roade which proued to be the Admirall of Naples and 5 or 6 more that brought men and munition into Cadiz 6 other of the shippes came from Brazeile 5 or 6 more men of warre and Marchants shippes we made ready and prepared our
