Insomuch that the brave Captain, of whose men, many were weak; and yet being loath Her Majesty's Ship should be shaken off without victory, fired the Carrack: rather wishing her to be burnt, than the enemies to enjoy her. But the proud and lofty-minded Spaniards, standing on their resolute points, returned the fire again, or some other: which three times was kindled [on board the FORESIGHT]; to the great cumber of Captain CROSSE and his Company, that would not so leave them. This dangerous conflict between these ships endured [a] long time. Which the _Phœnix_ of Portsmouth perceiving...being of 60 tons or thereabouts...left her for a time; standing with their Admiral and Vice-Admiral, which were the _Tiger_ and the _Sampson_: and coming up with them, declared unto them the hardy fight of the _Foresight_; who presently bare up with them all the night. The _Sampson_, being the first, coming up with the Carrack, gave her the whole broadside: and shutting up into the _Foresight_'s quarter, entered his men into her. Captain NORTON, that brave and worthy Gentleman, laid her also aboard, having the _Tiger_ with him. And so [all three crews] entered together, being 100 men at the least, all resolutely minded. At whose entrance they yielded so great a cry as the dismayed Portugals and Spaniards could not bethink themselves what course to take to help themselves: in such a maze were they stricken, although they were [originally] 800 strong, all well-appointed and able men; and of ours but 100. But standing thus, as men amazed, at length [they] yielded themselves vanquished. _The Seaman's Triumph._ [30th September] 1592.] [Footnote 7: They gan to consult, What were best to do with the prisoners, which were many? And finding their great scarcity of victuals; and not knowing what weather they might have; nor how it might please GOD with good wind to prosper them: it was concluded to ship as many of them as they might; and to send them for Lisbon. This they fully determined; and provision was made of a Bark of Dover, which they met: the Fleet taking in her men, and such provision as they had in her; and embarked the Spaniards and Portingals, with their Negroes, whereof were many. And gave them, with them, store of victuals; and so gave them leave to depart; detaining none but the principalest of them. _The Seaman's Triumph._ [30th September] 1592.]
