their lives and good usage. The sayd Captaine and 

 Pilote presently certified the Generall what goods they 

 had within boord, to wit, an hundreth and 22 thousand 

 pezos of golde : and the rest of the riches that the 

 ship was laden with, was in silkes, sattens, damasks, 

 with muske & divers other marchandize, and great store 

 of al maner of victuals with the choyse of many conserves 

 of all sortes for to eate, and of sundry sorts of very good 

 wines. These things being made knowne to the Generall 

 by the aforesaide Captaine and Pilote, they were com- 

 manded to stay aboord the Desire, and on the 6 day of 

 November following wee went into an harbour which is 

 called by the Spaniards, Aguada Segura, or Puerto Seguro. 



Here the whole company of the Spaniardes, both of 

 men and women to the number of 190 persons were 

 set on shore : where they had a fayre river of fresh 

 water, with great store of fresh fish, foule, and wood, 

 and also many hares and conies upon the maine land. 

 Our generall also gave them great store of victuals, of 

 garuansos, peason, and some wine. Also they had all 

 the sailes of their shippe to make them tents on shore, 

 with licence to take such store of plankes as should 

 bee sufficient to make them a barke. Then we fell to 

 hoysing in of our goods, sharing of the treasure, and 

 alotting to every man his portion. In devision whereof 

 the eight of this moneth, many of the company fell 

 into a mutinie against our Generall, especially those 

 which were in the Content, which neverthelesse were 

 after a sort pacified for the time. 



On the 17 day of November, which is the day of 

 the happy Coronation of her Majestic, our Generall 

 commanded all his ordinance to be shot off, with the 

 small shot both in his owne shippe where himselfe went, 

 and also in the Content, which was our Vice-admirall. 

 This being done, the same night we had many fire- 

 workes and more ordinance discharged, to the great 

 admiration of all the Spaniards which were there : for 

 the most part of them had never scene the like before.
