from the Port of Hauana three Barkes or Frigots vnder the command of Captaine or Admirall Gaspar de Vargaz whose charge was to search for the Artillery and treasure of the lost Galeons and on Monday the 28. of September after safe arriuall they there summoned all the souldiers sea-men and passengers who were miraculously preserued in the tempest when the said Admirall was lost vnder the command of Michael de Cazaretta and whom at their comming in Florida they found in safetie and with whom the said Gaspar de Vargas returned after they had discouered where the Admirall lay which they might doe by the top-mast appearing aboue water and so very fortunately they dispatched their vnfortunate businesse They diuided into these Frigots or small Barkes the most part of the Artillery or Ordnance which with great labour and industrie they got out of the Galeons beginning first with her that perished in the Bay of Tortaga but they were much troubled and encombred with two speciall peeces which put them to excessiue ●…oile Thus were they able in respect of the Fortresse of Tabaco to search further and at conuenient leasure to effect that which they came about for this Fort being built and erected of purpose to keepe the inhabitants in awe and debar strangers from any intrusion as also to accommodate them if by disastrous chance they should be driuen into these places so watched the two perished Galeons that they found what was to be found vntouched whereupon the said Gaspar de Vargas writ of his successe to the Marquesse and of the toile he sustained in the Margarite with other aduentures as the danger and wonderfull paines which the Diuers endured and the Sailers proued euen when they were in the waste of the lost ships whose bodies were broken to peeces and lay in a manner vnder water When this was done and that they could finde or recouer no more at a quiet and a still water in the company of Captaine Cazaretta they searched the Creeke and the Bottome more narrowly for the bullion and treasure of the said Galleon of Rosario and had the fortune to finde the most part of it though it seemed smoked blacked and impeached with the owse and frettings of the water yea after foure naturall daies they drew it all out with the losse onely of one Ingot The next worke in the harbour of Hauana was the Currying and trimming such ships as had escaped the tempest whereupon to be more able to furnish the three distressed Galeons that came Mastlesse into the harbor as you haue heard they cast a crosse a ship of Cadiz and disrobed her as I may say taking her Masts Tackling and furniture whereby they supplied many wants and as well as they could masted the Galeons againe so that they were thought fit and seruiceable to prosecute the voyage of the sea when occasion should inuite them to returne into Spaine The fourth of October there came into the Port of Hauana a certaine Frigot with twentie persons and two Friars Vittorians who saued themselues in a ship of new Cumpechana in the first voyage when they accompanied the Fleet of new Spaine and were cast a shore on the rockes and Ilands of Bermuda hauing beene hurried and tossed two daies together with a strange storme and wonderfull tempest and yet the Galeons and most of their Fleet were saued God be thanked onely some ships perished amongst whom was theirs in which they first imbarked themselues so that there were drowned 83 persons who could by no meanes be prouided for because one morning very early all the ship was couered with water and ready to sinke whereupon the better sort procured to get into the boat which with much adoe they effected affoording leaue to none to enter but themselues lest they should all perish and so better saue some They which went vp prouided one great basket of bisket and a little fresh water wherewith they sustained themselues vntill they came into the harbour of Hauana 26. daies after their Nauigation by which occasion many haue reported that they had no other shallop but the boat of the ship The 24. of October being Sunday the Marquesse called a Councell againe for the concurrency of al businesse wherein it was propounded to acquaint his Maiesty by some pinnesse or other aduenturer with their present affaires and so to prouide for the furnishing of the other ships for new Spaine and if Captaine Gasparo de Veruas returned in the meane while then might the occurrences and particulars of the scarches of the lost Admirall and Galeon of Saint Margarite be aduertised all together according to the agreement of the court and assembly The second of Nouember died the Generall of the fleet Iohn de Lara Moran of a Calenture which ouer mastred him Don Pedro de Vrsula was also sent into Florida to make further search in the Margarite and Admirall for treasure and other things while Captaine Gaspar de Vargas went to prouide especiall necessaries but no man was permitted to search the sides of the broken ships which by this time were come to the shore but the licensed Officers The 18. of Nouember Don Peter Vrsula arriued at the Creeks where the Galeons were lost and began his aduenture for the finding of more treasure God grant a good successe may crowne his seruice FINIS
