But in the ende upon a Sunday, all the Saylers went downe behinde the hils called Bresil : where they found a Fisher-boat, whereinto they got and rowed into the sea to the Erle of Cumberlands shippes, which to their great fortune chanced at that time to come by the Island, and ankered with his ships about halfe a mile from the Road ecause they would not returne emptie home, whereupon they held streit watch, sending advise unto the king what newes they heard.

Among these ships that were cast away about Tercera, was likewise a Flieboat, one of those that had bin arrested in Portugall to serve the king, called the white Dove, the master of her was one Cornelius Martenson of Schiedam in Holland , and there were in her 100 souldiers, as in every one of the rest there were.

The 7 of August 1590. a navie of English ships was seen before Tercera, being 20 in number, and 5 of them the Queenes ships: their Generall was one Martin Frobisher, as we after had intelligence.
