The Spaniards deeply resented the settlement of the English on theNorth American continent, and would, if they had dared, have made anattempt to wipe out the colony at Jamestown. They, however, kept aconstant lookout for the vessels of the Virginia adventurers. The seafight of the Margaret and John caused much excitement iu England, andthe English were very proud of the exploits of the ship, which was smalland not well provided. In the latter part of March 1621 (1020, 0. S.)this vessel had a severe battle with two Spanish men-of-war in the WestIndies, in which she was fortunate enough to come out the victor.
