of their Countrymen and how he had been taken many years ago by the English who had used him very kindly that they were mistaken in being so much afraid of that Nation who were not Enemies to them but to the Spaniards to confirm this he told them how well the English treated another young Lad of theirs they had lately taken such an ones Son for this he had learnt of the Youth and his Father was one of the company that was got together on the shore He persuaded them therefore to make a League with these friendly people by whose help they might be able to quell the Spaniards assuring also the Father of the Boy that if he would but go with him to the Ship which they saw at anchor at an Island there it was Golden Island the Eastermost of the Samballoes a place where there is good striking for Turtle he should have his Son restored to him and they might all expect a very kind Reception Upon these assurances 20 or 30 of them went off presently in 2 or 3 Canoas laden with Plantains Bonanoes Fowls c. and Captain Wright having treated them on board went ashore with them and was entertained by them and Presents were made on each side Captain Wright gave the Boy to his Father in a very handsom English Dress which he had caused to be made purposely for him and an Agreement was immediately struck up between the English and these Indians who invited the English through their Country into the South Seas Pursuant to this Agreement the English when they came upon any such design or for Traffick with them were to give a certain signal which they pitcht upon whereby they might be known But it happen'd that Mr. La Sound the French Captain spoken of a little before being then one of Captain Wright's Men learnt this Signal and staying ashore at Petit-Guavres upon Captain Wright's going thither soon after who had his Commission from thence he gave the other French there such an account of the Agreement before mentioned and the easiness of entring the South Seas thereupon that he got at the head of about 120 of them who made that unsuccessful attempt upon Cheapo as I said making use of the signal they had learnt for passing the Indians Country who at that time could not distinguish so well between the several Nations of the Europeans as they can since From such small beginnings arose those great stirs that have been since made all over the South Seas viz. from the Letters we took and from the Friendship contracted with these Indians by means of John Gret Yet this Friendship had like to have been stifled in its Infancy for within a few months after an English trading Sloop came on this Coast from Jamaica and John Gret who by this time had advanced himself 〈◊〉 be a Grandee among these Indians together with 5 or 6 more of that quality went off to the Sloop in their long Gowns as the Custom is for such to wear among them Being received aboard they expected to find every thing friendly and John Gret talkt to them in English but these English Men having no knowledge at all of what had happened endeavoured to make them Slaves as is commonly done for upon carrying them to Jamaica they could have sold them for 10 or 12 pound a piece But John Gret and the rest perceiving this leapt all over board and were by the others killed every one of them in the Water The Indians on shore never came to the knowledge of it if they had it would have endangered our Correspondence Several times after upon our conversing with them they enquired of us what was become of their Countrymen but we told them we knew not as indeed it was a great while after that we heard this story so they concluded the Spaniards had met with them and killed or taken them But to return to the account of the progress of the Armada which we left at Cartagena After an appointed stay there of about 60 days as I take it it goes thence to Portobel where it lies 30 days and no longer Therefore the Viceroy of L●…na on notice of the Armada's arrival at Cartagena immediately sends away the Kings Treasure to Panama where it is landed and lies ready to be sent to Portobel upon the first News of the Armada's arrival there This is the reason partly of their sending Expresses so early to Lima that upon the Armada s first coming to Portobel the Treasure and Goods may lye ready at Panama to be sent away upon the Mules and it requires some time for the Lima Fleet to unlade because the Ships ride not at Panama but at Perica which are 3 small Islands 2 leagues from thence The Kings Treasure is said to amount commonly to about 24000000 of Pieces of Eight besides abundance of Merchants Money All this Treasure is carried on Mules and there are large Stables at both places to lodge them Sometimes the Merchants to steal the Custom pack up Money among Goods and send it to Venta de Crurzes on the River Chagre from thence down the River and afterwards by Sea to Portobel in which passage I have known a whole Fleet of Periago's and Canoas taken The Merchants who are not ready to sail by the thirtieth day after the Armada's arrival are in danger to be left behind for the Ships all weigh the 30th day precisely and go to the Harbors Mouth yet sometimes on great importunity the Admiral may stay a week longer for it is impossible that all the Merchants should get ready for want of Men. When the Armada departs from Portobel it returns again to Cartagena by which time all the Kings Revenue which comes out of the Country is got ready there Here also meets them again a great Ship called the Pattache one of the Spanish Galeons which before their first arrival at Cartagena goes from the rest of the Armada on purpose to gather the Tribute of the Coast touching at the Margarita's and other places in her way thence to Cartagena as Punta de Guaira Maracaybo Rio de la Hacha and Sancta Martha and at all these places takes in Treasure for the King After the set stay at Cartagena the Armada goes away to the Havana in the Isle of Cuba to meet there the Flota which is a small number of Ships that go to La Vera Cruz and there takes in the effects of the City and Country of Mexico and what is brought thither in the Ship which comes thither every year from the Philippine Islands and having joined the rest at the Havana the whole Armada sets sail for Spain through the Gulf of Florida The Ships in the South Seas lye a great deal longer at Panama before they return to Lima. The Merchants and Gentlemen which come from Lima stay as little time as they can at Portobel which is at the best but a sickly place and at this time is very full of men
