WILLIAM KING ad. 



1592. 



master captaine Lane, Generall of master Wats his fleet, 

 and captaine Roberts, in the Exchange, a ship of Bristol, [HI. 571.] 

 of an hundred and forty tunnes, and master Benjamin 

 Wood with his foure ships which were set out by my lord 

 Thomas Howard with captain Kenel of Limehouse captaine 

 of the Cantar of Weymouth. All we being heere together 

 espied a ship of some 50 tunne, which we chased with 

 their boats ; but my shallope first boorded her, and tooke 

 her : which had in her sacke, Canary-wine, muscadell, 

 tent in jarres, and good store of oile in jarres. The ship 

 we unladed and burned : the men ran on shore. Hence 

 wee came all together, being about 13 sailes, before 

 Havana ; but passing by we gave chase to a ship of 60 

 tun, which entred into an harbour a league to the North- 

 west of Havana, which with boats was boorded, and 

 found to be of Puerto de Cavallos in the bay of 

 Honduras, laden with tanned hides, salsa perilla, Indico, 

 raw hides, and good store of balsamum : and she had 

 foure chests of gold, which they got on land before we 

 could come to them. We brought this ship into England. 

 Thus spending a sevennight in lying off and on for 

 purchase, and finding nothing come, I set saile for 

 England, and arrived at Dover about the tenth of 

 November 1592.
