R. SIR WALTER RALEGH 73 A RELATION OF CADIZ ACTION [As printed in 1699, by Philip Ralegh, grandson of Sir Walter, from a copy found among Sir Walter's Papers. A letter to a person unnamed. ] You shall receive many Relations, but none more true than this.

When I was arrived back again (which was two hours after the rest), I found the Earl of Essex disembarking his soldiers; and he had put many companies into boats, purposing to make his descent on the west side of Cales ; but such was the greatness of the billow, by reason of a forcible south- erly wind, as the boats were ready to sink at the stern of the Earl ; and indeed divers did so, and in them some of the armed men ; but because it was for- merly resolved (and that to cast doubts would have been esteemed an effect of fear), the Earl purposed to go on, until such time as I came aboard him, and 1 Charles Howard, Lord Howard of Effingham.
