When Sir Walter Raleigh and his men reached the rapids of the Caroni, on the Orinoco River, they were forced to continue overland, eventually arriving at the town of Orocotona. The king of Arromaia, Topiawari, and his subjects greeted Raleigh's company with dancing and the blowing of trumpets. The previous chief of the village had been executed by the Spanish governor of Trinidad, Antonio de Berrio, who was travelling as a captive with Raleigh and his men. This work contains relations of six different voyages: three by Sir Francis Drake, one circumnavigation by Thomas Cavendish (or Candish), and two by Sir Walter Raleigh to Guiana. An account of Drake's first voyage, written by Niño de Sylva, had not previously been published. The account of Drake's second voyage is based upon the account of the circumnavigation by Thomas Cates. Drake's third voyage is derived from his logbook of the expedition against the Spanish in Panama. Cavendish's voyage appears to have been based upon a manuscript account written by Thomas Pretty who accompanied Cavendish. Raleigh's first voyage was published by himself in 1597; the second voyage, attributed to Raleigh, may have actually been made by Laurent Keymis, a companion on Raleigh's voyage of 1595.
