We tooke out of this prize, for our provision, some good quantitie of this meale, and the sugar shee had, being not above three or foiu-e chestes : after three dayes we gave the ship to the Portingalls, and to them libertie. In her was a Portingall knight, which went for governour of Angola, of the habit of Christ, with fiftie souldiers, and armes for a hundreth and fiftie, with his wife and daughter. He was old, and complained, that after many yeares service for his king, with sundry mishapps,... he was brought to that poore estate, as for the relief of his wife, his daughter, and him- selfe, he had no other substance, but that he had in the ship. It moved compassion, so as nothing of his was di- minished, wliich though to us was of no great moment, in Angola it Avas worth good crownes. Onely we disarmed them all, and let them depart, saying that they would re- turne to Saint Vincents. We continued our course for the Straites, my people much animated with this unlookt for refreshing, and praised God for his bountie, providence, and grace extended towards us.
