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

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-
