Abstract: Narratives of Francis Pretty and Thomas Fuller describing the voyage of Thomas Cavendish into the Pacific. They recount the capture of Spanish ships, raids along the coast of New Spain, and Cavendish’s passage across the Pacific. The accounts include descriptions of encounters at Guam and the Ladrones (”Mariana Islands”), noting provisions obtained and conflicts with islanders. These reports emphasize the disruption caused to Spanish shipping and the vulnerability of the Manila galleon route.
