The Spanish ambassador, Bernardino de Mendoza, who called him the Master- Thief of the Unknown World, demanded that he should be punished accord- ing to the laws of nations. Elizabeth firmly asserted her right of navigating the ocean in all parts, and denied that the Pope's grant of a monopoly in the Indies to the Spaniards and Portu- guese was of any binding effect upon her. She yielded, how- ever, so far as to restore, to the agent of several of the merchants whom Drake had despoiled, large s...ums of money. Enough re- mained, however, to make the expedition a remunerating one for the captors. The queen then, in a pompous and solemn ceremony, gave to the entire affair an official and govern- mental ratification. She ordered Drake's ship to be drawn up in a little creek near Deptford, to be there preserved as a monument of the most memorable voyage the English had ever yet performed. She went on board of her, and partook of a banquet there with the commander, who, kneeling at her feet, rose up Sir Francis Drake.
