P. 221. *** Monson, p. 1. After the armada was under sail, they took a fisherman, who informedthem that the English admiral had been lately at sea, had heard of thetempest which scattered the armada, had retired back into Plymouth andno longer expecting an invasion this season, had laid up his ships, anddischarged most of the seamen. From this false intelligence the dukeof Medina conceived the great facility of attacking and destroyingthe English ships in harbor; and he was tempted, by the ...prospect of sodecisive an advantage, to break his orders, and make sail directly forPlymouth; a resolution which proved the safety of England. The Lizardwas the first land made by the armada, about sunset; and as theSpaniards took it for the Ram Head near Plymouth, they bore out to seawith an intention of returning next day, and attacking the English navy. They were descried by Fleming, a Scottish pirate, who was roving inthose seas, and who immediately set sail, to inform the English admiralof their approach;[*] another fortunate event, which contributedextremely to the safety of the fleet.
