Summary
[From the Hechos de Don Garcia Hurtado de Mendoza, Cuarto Marques de Cañete; por Dr. Don Christobal Suarez de Figueroa (Madrid, 1614), Lib. v.]
Several ships, commanded by English pirates, entered the South Sea in the time of former Viceroys, whose audacity was rewarded with success in the shape of prizes and notable plunder. The first who, entering by the Strait of Magellan, coasted along the land from south to north, was Francisco Draque. His Queen, Isabel, sent him with three ships well armed and provisioned. Each ship had a crew of two hundred men, besides ten young gentlemen, who wished to perform the voyage with the object of seeing the world, and of showing their valour on such occasions as might offer themselves. He left the port of Plemua to pass into the South Sea, and seek the above strait.
Having reached the strait after various events which have already been related by others, he passed it alone in the Capitana. While he was ranging over those seas and before he arrived at Callao, the port for which he was making, he fell in with a ship of Arica, the port of Potosi. She was coming from Callao, unarmed, and not expecting the appearance of pirates, laden with bars of iron and some gold.
