He sent me a very rich present of
perfumes, skins, gloves, and purses embroidered, with other nacks of
the same kind.
Sir John Lawson being now ready to depart from Cadiz, we presented him
with a pair of flagons, one hundred pounds, and a tun of Luzena wine,
which cost us forty pounds, and a hundred and forty pieces-of-eight
for his men. We sent Captain Ferne two hundred pieces-of-eight, and to
his men forty pieces-of-eight, they being very careful of our goods,
the most of which he brought. We sent Captain Berkeley a hundred
pieces-of-eight, and to his men twenty; he carried part of our horses,
as did Captain Utber, to whom we sent a like sum.
On the 19th of March, we took our leave of Cadiz, where we gave at our
coming away, to persons that attended on us in several offices, two
hundred and eighty pieces-of-eight. We were accompanied to the water-
side in the same manner. We were received on shore with all points of
formality, and having taken our leave, with many thanks and
compliments to the Governor, and Don Diego Ibara, his lady, and all
the rest of those persons there, to whom we were as much beholden for
their civility, we entered the King's barge, which was newly trimmed
up for the purpose by the Duke of Medina Celi, at Puerto de Sta Maria.
No person ever went in it before but the King. The Governor, Don
Antonio de Pimentel, went with us in the barge, and many other barges
were provided by him for all our train.
