'It Was An All-Day Battle', c1929. 'The Admiral [Francis Drake] sent his pinnace in advance to challenge the Duke of Sidonia to declare war with a volley of his ordnance, what time his own flagship, the "Ark Royal", thundered thick and furiously upon the ship he took to be the Spanish Admiral's. The fight continued merrily for two hours, when the Admiral "thought good not to press them farther this day!" "The great guns," says Camden, "rattled like so many peals of thunder, but the shot from the high-built Spanish ships flew for the most part over the heads of the English, without doing any execution".' English sailors fighting the Spanish Armada in 1588. From "Heroic Deeds of Great Men", by C. Sheridan Jones and Alfred Miles, illustrated by Howard Davie and Harry Payne [Raphael Tuck & Sons Ltd, London, c1929]
