[Bolton note: Though it was evidently not a part of the original project, Drake then directed his efforts against San Agustin, which he reached May 27. A member of Drake's party wrote: "There was about 250 houses in this town, but we left not one of them standing."—Julian S. Corbett, The Spanish War, pp. vi-xv, 69-74; Ynformacion hecha en S. Agustin de la Florida, sobre la entrada que hizo en aquellas Provincias el cosario Yngles francisco Draque, saqueando, robando y quemando el fuerte donde se hallaban las Cajas Reales y de bienes de difuntos, 1586 (A. G. L, 54-5-9); E. J. Payne and C. R. Beasley, Voyages of Drake and Gilbert: Select Narratives from the Principal Navigations of Hakluyt (Oxford, 1909), 268-271).]
