double désastre de la *Santa Cruz* et de la *Madre de Deos* fut
disgracié.
La prise de la *Madre de Deos* marque une date impor-
tante dans l'histoire des relations de l'Angleterre avec
l'Asie : elle livrait aux Anglais le secret du commerce de
l'Extrême-Orient qu'elle cherchait vainement depuis long-
temps à surprendre : le catalogue porté à Leadenhall, le
15 septembre 1592, nous indique ce que renfermait ce grand
bâtiment de 1.600 tonnes, long de 165 pieds, d'épices, de
drogues, de soies, de calicots, etc. d'une valeur d'au moins
£ 150,000 :

good is (if our weaknesse could apprehend it) to haue vs
communicate with them in those East Indian treasures, &
by the erection of a lawfull traffike to better our meanes to

being in burden by the estimation of the wise and expe-

600 and 700, and the length of the nauigation. To giue you

deliuer you a generall particularity of them, according to
the catalogue taken at Leaden hall the 15 of September
1592. Where vpon good view it was found, that the prin-
cipall wares after the iewels (which were no doubt of
great value, though they neuer came to light) consisted
of spices, drugges, silks, calicos, quilts, carpets and colours,
&c. The spices were pepper, cloues, maces, nutmegs, cina-
mom, greene ginger : the drugs were beniamin, frankin-
cense, galingale, mirabolans, aloes zocotrina, camphire : the
silks, damasks, taffatas, sarcenets, altobassos, that is,
counterfait cloth of gold, vnwrought China silke, sleaued
silke, white twisted silke, curled cypresse. The calicos were
book-calicos, calico-launes, broad white calicos, fine star-
