ABSTRACT
HE General made sail for the Indies in his admiral named the Great Bear, of about 300 tons, from the port of Plimouth in England on the 1st December, 1594, having with him other vessels of war, the vice-admiral of his fleet being called the Little Bear. We went out of port with the wind N .E., blowing strong, which was in our favour; and we sailed by the quarter S.W.
