Captain John Hawkins was our captain, a bold man and a good sailor; but not gentle as well as brave, as is our good Captain Francis.

Our fleet was a strong one.

The admiral's ship, the Jesus, of Lubeck, was 700 tons.

Then there were the smaller craft; the Minion, Captain Hampton, in which I myself sailed; the William and John of Captain Boulton; the Judith with Captain Francis Drake; and two little ships, besides.

We sailed later in the year.
