by now experienced in seamanship and
'he handling of rough men; and so
he sailed on his first venture on the
good sluip Rose, of 200 tons burthen
and 100 men, with beef, pork and good
ale in abundance, and culverins,
, swivels, muskets, ealivere, long bows,
pikes and cutlasses aplenty. He was
to discover the whereabouts and con
dition of Rose if he could, but surely
to damage to his utmost what Spani
ards he should fall afoul of. A com
mission to his liking, for it was an
article of faith with Amyas, as with
most young English rovers of that day,
that all Spaniards were cruel and cow
ardly, even as his own great Queen
Elizabeth was all white purity. With

a victory which left his ship so bat

he ran in to a little bay for repairs
and recuperation. Here, with their
culverins and swivels behind a stock
nde, Don Guzman came upon them. In
, force too strong for their shattered
| numbers; so, first, burning the Rose,
! they turned their back to the sea and
' marched inland.
And now came hope of glory for
their queen and for tliomselves great
treasure in quest of the Golden City
In the Kingdom of Manoa, whereof
friendly Indians told them. Through
untrodden bills and forests they
marched, past the falls of the Orinoco
and the upper waters of the grent
Amazon, from low swamps to high
plateaus, wherefrom they viewed the
eternal snows of Chimborazo towering
above the thunder cloud and the fierjr
cone of Cotopaxi flaming agaiust the
stars; a region 800 miles in length by
10o miles in width they traversed.
Three years of fever and cold and fa
mine they spent on that trail, and once
a gold pack train loosely guarded fell
to their hands; but of the Golden City
never a trace.
They came upon a White maiden,
Ayanacora, golden-haired, tall and
beautiful, treated as a princess by the
Indians with whom she dwelt. Amyns
was fbr leaving her, having witnessed
on former voyages the evil Influence
of women among lonely men; but she
by signs made It clear she would not
be left. He packed her off. She came
back, and she being by then far from .
fier habitation he had not the heart J
lo cast her adrift In the vast wilder- i
ness. So. every man solemnly pledged I
to treat her with honor, she came to

'anoes, they made the harbor, and. It

But forty of their one hundred re

sailed with much content in the great
ralleon to England. Ayanacora, sail

singing of sea songs which only Eng<
iish sailors knew; which caused SaF

It was the patience of Ayanacora,
Amyas must have his vengeance on
Don Guzman, who was commanding
a ship of the Armada, and so he strove
to hold close to him; but Hie tempest,
which seemed to bear hate for the
Spanish fleet, now cast Don Guzman's
tall caravel to her death on the sands
of Flanders. The vengeance of Amyas
was sated, as was Toe's; but almost
on the instant, from the heart of the
tempest flew a white bolt of lightning
to strike down both him and Yeo,
evt?r come to understand the heart of
thp vvisf * om °* * lis mother, which
taught him. "Fear not, Amyas," he
heard his mother's voice saying, "fear
not to take that dear girl to your
heart; for 14 Is * our mother wbo ,ft y s
her there."
And so at last Amyas came to. un
derstand.
