THOMAS CA\'ENDISH AT THE LADRONES, 1588 



Although his voyage was out of the wost remarkable attempted 

 until then, Thomas Cavendish appears to have behaved in a 

 wantonly cruel manner all through his career. Firing at the 

 natives bringing fruit from tlie boat shoivn in the picture may 

 be taken as an example of this.
