The
Men Of Name That Died And Were Slain In This Voyage, Which I Can
Presently Call To Remembrance, Are
These:--Captain Powell, Captain
Varney, Captain Moon, Captain Fortescue, Captain Biggs, Captain Cecil,
Captain Hannam, Captain Greenfield; Thomas Tucker, a
Lieutenant;
Alexander Starkey, a lieutenant; Master Escot, a lieutenant; Master
Waterhouse, a lieutenant; Master George Candish, Master Nicholas
Winter, Master Alexander Carlile, Master Robert Alexander, Master
Scroope, Master James Dyer, Master Peter Duke. With some other, whom
for haste I cannot suddenly think on.
The ordnance gotten of all sorts, brass and iron, were about two
hundred and forty pieces, whereof the two hundred and some more were
brass, and were thus found and gotten:--At Santiago some two or three
and fifty pieces. In St. Domingo about four score, whereof was very
much great ordnance, as whole cannon, demi-cannon, culverins, and such
like. In Carthagena some sixty and three pieces, and good store
likewise of the greater sort. In the Fort of St. Augustine were
fourteen pieces. The rest was iron ordnance, of which the most part
was gotten at St. Domingo, the rest at Carthagena.
