out of the country and
shipped, we departed from that coast the 18th of June. And so, God be
thanked, both they and we in good safety arrived at Portsmouth the 28th
of July, 1586, to the great glory of God, and to no small honour to our
Prince, our country, and ourselves. The total value of that which was
got in this voyage is esteemed at three score thousand pounds, whereof
the companies which have travailed in the voyage were to have twenty
thousand pounds, the adventurers the other forty. Of which twenty
thousand pounds (as I can judge) will redound some six pounds to the
single share. We lost some 750 men in the voyage; above three parts of
them only by sickness. The men of name that died and were slain in this
voyage, which I can presently call to remembrance, are these:--Captain
Powell, Captain Varney, Captain Moon, Captain Fortescue, Captain Biggs,
Captain Cecil, Captain Hannam, Captain Greenfield; Thomas Tucker, a
lieutenant; Alexander Starkey, a lieutenant; Master Escot, a lieutenant;
Master Waterhouse, a lieutenant; Master George Candish, Master Nicholas
Winter, Master Alexander Carlile, Master Robert Alexander, Master
Scroope, Master James Dyer, Master Peter Duke. With some other, whom for
haste I cannot suddenly think on.

The ordnance gotten of all sorts, brass and iron, were about two hundred
and forty pieces, whereof the two hundred and some more were brass, and
were thus found and gotten:--At Santiago some two or three and fifty
pieces. In St. Domingo about four score, whereof was very much great
ordnance, as whole cannon, demi-cannon, culverins, and such like. In
Carthagena some sixty and three pieces, and good store likewise of the
greater sort. In the Fort of St. Augustine were fourteen pieces.
The rest was iron ordnance, of which the most part was gotten at St.
Domingo, the rest at Carthagena.
