Then seeing a fair Wind to blow he called before him all the People designed for that Expedition and made them a Speech encouraging them to fight against the Enemies of their Country and Religion but more especially against those inhumane Pirats who had heretofore committed so many horrid and cruel actions against the Subjects of his Catholick Majesty Withal promising unto every one of them most liberal Rewards but especially unto such as should behave themselves as they ought in the service of their King and Country Thus Don Iohn bid them farewel and immediately the Ship weighed Anchor and set sail under a favourable gale of Wind. The 22th of the said month they arrived at Cartagena and presented a Letter unto the Governour of the said City from the noble and valiant Don Iohn who received it with testimonies of great affection unto the person of Don Iohn and his Majesty's service And seeing their resolute Courage to be conformable to his desires and expectation he promised them his assistance which should be with one Frigat one Galeon one Boat and one hundred and twenty six men the one half out of his own Garison and the other half Mulato's Thus all of them being well provided with necessaries they set forth from the Port of Cartagena the second day of August and the 10th of the said month they arrived within sight of the Isle of St. Catharine towards the Western point thereof And although the Wind was contrary yet they reached the Port and came to an Anchor within it having lost one of their Boats by foul weather at the Rock called Quita signos The Pirats seeing our Ships come to an Anchor gave them presently three Guns with Bullets the which were soon answered in the same coin Hereupon the Major Ioseph Sanchez Ximenez sent on shore unto the Pirats one of his Officers to require them in the name of the Catholick King his Master to surrender the Island seeing they had taken it in the
