THE PORTUGAL VOYAGE ad. 



1589. 



but they (whether troubled with the sudden terror we 

 brought upon them, or forgetting their decree) omitted 

 the fire, which made them guard that place til we were 

 entred on every side. 



Then the towne being entred in three several places 

 with an huge cry, the inhabitants betooke them to the 

 high towne: which they might with lesse perill doe, for 

 that ours being strangers there, knew not the way to cut 

 them off. The rest that were not put to the sword in 

 fury, fled to the rocks in the Hand, and others hid them- 

 selves in chambers and sellers, which were every day 

 found out in great numbers. 



Amongst those Don Juan de Luna, a man of very 

 good commandement, having hidden himselfe in a house, 

 did the next morning yeeld himselfe. 



There was also taken that night a commissary of vic- 

 tuals called Juan de Vera, who confessed that there were in 

 the Groine at our entry 500 souldiers being in seven com- 

 panies which returned very weake (as appeareth by the small 

 numbers of them) from the journey of England, namely : 

 Don Diego Barran, a bastard sonne of the 

 Marques of Santa Cruz ; his company 

 was that night in the Galeon. 

 Don Antonio de Herera then at Madrid. 

 Don Pedro de Manriques brother to the 



Earle of Paxides. 

 Don Jeronimo de Mourray of the Order 

 of S. Juan, with some of the towne 

 were in the fort. 

 Don Gomez de Caramasal then at 

 Madrid. 

 h Captaine Mango Caucaso de Socas. 

 Also there came in that day of our landing from 

 Retanzas the companies of Don Juan de Mosalle, 

 and Don Pedro poure de Leon. 

 Also he saith that there was order given for baking of 

 300000 of biscuit, some in Batansas, some in Ribadeo, 

 and the rest there.
