And at length the Spanish admiral, despairing of success, fled north- ward with a southerly wind, in the hope of rounding Scotland, and so returning to Spain without a farther encounter with the English fleet. Lord Effingham left a squadron to con- tinue the blockade of the Prince of Parma's armament; but that wise general soon withdrew his troops to more promising fields of action. Meanwhile the lord admiral himself, and Drake, chased the vincible Armada, as it was now termed, for some distanc...e northward ; and then, when they seemed to bend away from the Scotch coast towards Norway, it was thought best, in the words of Drake, " to leave them to those boisterous and uncouth Northern seas." The sufferings and losses which the unhappy Spaniards sus- tained in their flight round Scotland and Ireland are well known. Of their whole Armada only fifty-three shattered ves- sels brought back their beaten and wasted crews to the Spanish coast, which they had quitted in such pageantry and pride.
