notes:
Thomas Cavendish and his men reached the mouth of the river at Deseado, in present-day Argentina, or Patagonia, in December 1586 on their circumnavigation. There they killed many seals and sea lions which they described as looking like lions with curly manes. Cavendish's servant was doing laundry when he was surprised by native Americans who attacked him. The natives ran away when the other sailors came to his rescue. 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. Theodor de Bry's America. Pt. 8. German.
