THE ENGLISH VOYAGES 



and bootes that reach up to their grine, and a shirt of 

 male, hanging the one halfe before, and the other halfe 

 behinde, these were sent away againe assoone as the armie 

 was past. They would drinke wine out of all measure. 

 Then the armie being past, 1 laded my shippe with wines 

 and other things : and so after I had that which I left 

 in Chio, I departed for Messina. In the way I found 

 about Zante, certaine Galliots of Turkes, laying abord

 good shippe called the Mathew Gonson, 

 which was bound for Livorno, or Legorne 

 and Candia. It fell out that we touched 

 in the beginning of Aprill next ensuing at 

 Cades in Andalozia, where the Spaniardes, 



according to their accustomed maner with all shippes of 

 extraordinarie goodnes and burden, picked a quarrell 

 against the company, meaning to have forfeited, or at 

 the least to have arrested the said shippe. And they
