His fanguine hopes, however, were, in iome meafure diiappoinfed ; for, failing about the ninth cf July from Plymouth, they met, at iixty leagues diitance, with fo rough a florin, and of four days continuance, that they were obliged to put back to Plymouth, where they remained wind-bound for a month ; in which time a great part of their provifions was con- fumed. ROBERT DEVEREUX. 65 While the fleet was thus laid up, the earl of EfTex and Sir Walter Raleigh fet out poft for the court, in order to... receive frefh infrruc- tions. The propofals made by EiTex, even after this difappointment, were very bold and great; but, as Camden feems to infmuate, very difficult and dangerous, if not impracti- cable ; fo that the queen would not counte- nance his projedls, but rather left the direction of the expedition to the commanders in chief, according as the feafon and circumilances might encourage or permit. The fame hifto- rian, and almoft all who have written upon this fubject after him, fpeaks of an old mif- underilanding between ElTex and Sir Walter before they left England, which was produc- tive of moft of the mifchiefs that afterwards happened ; which there is good reafon, how- ever, to believe a groundless imputation upon both ; for, amongft other papers of a very curious and inftructive nature, which haveiince been published in a very valuable cclleclion, are the letters of Rowland White, efq.
