( 804 ) THE VOYAGE OF THE RIGHT HONOURABLE GEORGE EARL OF CUMBER.- ' .ND TO THE AZORES *, ETC. WRITTEN BY THE EXCELLENT MA- HEMATICIAN AND ENGINEER MASTER EDWARD WRIGHT. [Hakluyt, II. 555. Second Part ] THE Right Honourable the Earl of Cumberland having at his own charges pre- pared his fmall fleet of four fails only, viz. the Victory, one of the Queen’s fliips royal; the Meg and Margaret, fmall fliips, (one of which alfo he was forced foon after to fend home again, finding her not able to endure the fea,) and a finall caravel; and having aflembled together about four hundred men (or fewer) of gentlemen, foldiers, and faiiors; embarked himfelf and them, and fet fail from the Sound of Plymouth in Devonfliire, the eighteenth day of June 1589, being accompanied with thefe captains and gentlemen which hereafter follow: Captain Chriftopher Lifter, a man of great refolution, captain Edward Carelefs, alias Wright, who in Sir Francis Drake’s Weft Indian voyage to St. Domingo and Carthagena was captain of the Hope; captain Bofwell, M. Mervin, M. Henry Long, M. Partridge, M. Norton, M. William Mounfon, captain of the Meg, and Lis vice-admiral, now Sir William Mounfon, M. Pigeon, captain of the caravel. About three days after our departure from Plymouth we met with three French fliips, whereof one was of Newhaven, another of St. Malo’s and fo finding them to be leaguers and lawful prizes we took them, and fent two of them for England, with all their loading, which was fifti for the molt part from Newfoundland, faving that there was part thereof diftributed amongft our fmall fleet, as urn could find (towage for the fame; and in the third all their men were fent home into France. The fame day and the day following we met with fome other fliips, whom (when, after fome conference had with them, we perceived plainly to be of Rotterdam and Embden, bound for Ro- chelle) we difmiflfed. The twenty-eight and twenty-ninth days we met divers of our Englifti fliips, return- ing from the Portugal voyage, which my Lord relieved with victuals. The thirteenth day of July, being Sunday, in the morning, we efpied eleven fliips without fight of the coaft of Spain, in the height of 390, whom we prefently prepared for, and provided to meet them, having firft fet forth captain Mounfon in the Meg, before us, to defery whence they were. The Meg approaching near, there paflfed fome (hot betwixt them, whereby, as alfo by their admiral and vice-admiral putting forth their flags, we perceived that fome' fight was likely to follow. Having therefore fitted ourfelves for them, we made what hafte we could towards them, with regard always to get the wind of them, and about ten or eleven of the clock we came up to them with the Victory. But, after fome few (hot and fome little fight paflfed betwixt us, they yielded themfelves, and the mafters of them all came aboard us, (hewing their feveral paflports from the cities of Hamburg and Lubeck, from Bremen, Pomerania, and Calice. They had in them certain bags of pepper and cinnamon, which they confeflfcd to be the goods of a Jew in Li(bon, which fliould have been carried by them into their country to his faftor there; and fo finding it by their own confdlion to be lawful prize, the fame was foon after taken and divided amongft our whole company, the value where- of was efteemed to be about four thoufand five hundred pounds, at two (liilllings the- pound. Thefe ifles properly belong to .Europe, as lying nearer Portugal than any other country, iscrton’e Modern Geog- vol. Lp. 601. See The
