P. 533. British Empire in America, *oUi. P. S09, 310. DURING THE CIVIL WAR. 291 Jamaica was become, through his care and vigilance, a very considerable, and, for the time it had been settled, a very populous plantation. * We are now to return to the proceedings of the fleet in A. D. The Mediterranean. Admiral Blake continued to cruize 1657 ' before the haven of Cadiz, and in the Straits, till the month of April, 1657 ; and having then information of another Plate-fleet, which had put into the h...aven of Santa-cruz in the island of Teneriff, he immediately sailed thither, and arrived before the town the 20th of April, t Here he found the flota, consisting of six gal- leons very richly laden, and ten other vessels. The latter lay within the port, with a strong barricado before them ; the galleons without the boom, because they drew too much water to lay within it. The port itself was strongly fortified, having on the north a large castle well supplied with artillery, and seven forts united by a line communi- cation, well lined with musketeers.
