[43] Don Alonso Enriquez took another galley, with the title of commander [_general_]; Don Pedro de Almazan, another.

The galleon "Salvador" was flagship, the best and largest galleon ever seen in the sea.

It carried fifty large pieces of artillery, many of them of twenty-five and thirty libras' caliber, but most of them of eighteen.

The fleet left port on the eighth of April, in pursuit of the enemy.

That afternoon, which was Saturday, it anchored at the mouth of the bay in order to ascertain the location of the enemy.
