Though innately polite, Essex was im- petuous, headstrong, and indiscreet in his language, and his life at Court was far from being a happy one, not only for himself, but for those with whom he was brought in conta6l. Learning that this expedition was about to sail he resolved to join it. Notwithstanding the opposition of the Queen, he escaped from Court, rode post haste to Plymouth, and on securing a vessel, immediately sailed out of port, in order to prevent being intercepted in his design, a...nd awaited the sailing of the fleet which he had planned to join. Failing in this he sailed after it and did not finally fall in with it until 13th May, some three weeks after it had arrived at Portugal. In the account of the expedition the name of Essex appears several times, but in none of them as playing any important part. In his introdu6lion the writer says (page 12), in answer to the charge that there was a lack of proper means of transpor- tation, that Essex hired men to carry the sick and wounded on pikes, on account of the lack of mules and asses, and that he even threw away apparel and necessaries from his own carriage in order to give place to them.
