VOLUME 55, .+++-+ssssessssetseeees GROUP of English sea captains had come ashore from their Seet in Plymouth Harbor on July 19, 1688, and were playing at “bowls” on the town green. A messenger rushed up to them with word that a mighty Spanish fleet had come in sight and ‘would be upon them in another hour or two. “We have time to finish our game,” sald Sir Francis Drake, one of the English captains, “before we beat the Spaniards.” And he and his fellows went on playing, as though the fate of Englénd did not heng on the next fow hours’ events. Spain was the strongest nation on earth. And Spain was just then England's deadliest foe. In politics, in religious creed and in a hundred other ways the two nations clashed. King Philip of Spain decided on an invasion that should forever crush England's power and make the British seeeeeees NO. 19,889 WHO SHOULD KNOW BETTER?

But Philip was deat to euch overtures and England prepared herself for « death struggle. Then fortune began to work in her behalf. Just as the Armada was on the eve of setting forth for England, its admiral and its vice-admiral died. Spanish rumor said they were poisoned by emissaries of Queen Elizabeth. The time needful for finding other leaders competent to take the dead men's places caused a delay which enabled Engiand to strengthen her nes. z cn .

Against this huge fleet Lord Howard, the English Admiral, launched his little flotilla of warships. ‘The English vessels were smaller and quicker than those of Spain, aad inflicted fearful damage on them. ‘“Fireboats” also were driven into the Spanish fleet, setting many of the great warships ablaze. | | Meantime a dead calm prevented the army transports from leaving Dus- — eee LET’S Go Down STARS ERY WELL!

The Armada waited in vain for the land forces to come across, And, after enduring the wasplike attack of the English fleet as long as possible, the Spaniards withdrew to await a more fortunate time for the invasion. » Again luck played into England's bands. A tempest swept the Channel, scattering the Armada, sinking dozens of its best ships and driving them ashore on the English coast, where the A leas crews were slain or captured. Strange ‘The remnants of the so-called “invineibie” Ar- Run of Luck. mada crawled back to port. The invasion was ended. England was forever eafe from Spain, The Spanish loss was not officially made publite. It is estimated that more than 16,000 Spanish were killed by the English or drowned, and that at least eighty of the Armade’s finest warships were sunk or burned. ‘While England prociaimed a season of public thankagiving to God and of general rejoicing the Spanish Court went into mourning for the disaster.
