The San Francisco call., 1909-06-14

nF the many incidents of Anson's
tgreat voyage, round the world
in the middle of the eighteenth
century. none has made a greater
impression on the popular mind
than the capture Of the great
treasure ship Nuestra Sonora de
Cabadonga. on April 20, 174S. In
the first place. the value of the prize
was enormous; in the second. the duel
between the Centurion and the treas
ure ship was a fine single ship action;
and, In the ttird place, the victory
came at time when Anson's fortunes
seemed to be at a low e0b. when one
disaster after another had reduced his
squadron to one ship and when sick
ness had reduced his guns crews TO
two men each
The Nuestra Sonora de Gabadonga.
or, as it is also called, de Covadonga,
was treasure ship from Manila, COM
manded by Don Geronimo Montero, and
laden with specie and merchandise.
She was sighted at sunrise from the
masthead of the Centurion, and Master
Richard Walter, Ansons chaplain and
historian, tells us that a general joy
spread throughout the whole ship.
Galleons nearly always cruised in cou-
Piles, and it was supposed another must
be near The Centurion at once stood
toward the Spaniard and before s
o'clock its officers could see the enemy
from the deck.
The firing of gun by the galleon
was taken by Anson's men to be a
signal to a consort to make haste and
rejoin. and ito amuse the dons' the
Centurion itself fired a gun to lee
ward But Don Geronimo Montero had
no consort nor did he underrate the
prowess of his opponent. The Span
iards knew they were face to face with
Anson and the Centurion and they
were keen to fight. Throughout the
forenoon the two ships crept closer and
closer together, till by midday only a
league separated them. Then the
Nuestra Sonora de Cabadonga brought
to under topsails. with it's head 10 the
northward. and at the topgallant mast
head the standard of Spain was flying.
Anson was not slow TO accept the
challenge and he laid his plans with
great foresight. into the tops he sent
80 picked men, the best small arms
rnarksmen in the ship. His broadside
guns were manned only with two men
each. and to them he gave instructions
to do nothing but load their gun. The
rest of the men were divided into
gangs of u, with orders to move up
and down the battery for the sole pur-
pose of running out and firing the
euns as they were loaded 1t was an
unconventional way of lighting; con-
tinuous independent fire was the last
thing the Spaniards expected and it
threw them into as much confusion as
