In West Indies, Geog. and Hist. Descr., the number of men aboard is stated at 300. In an appendix to Carranza, Descr. Coast W. Indias, 118, containing Parker's own account of the taking of Portobello, the latter mentions that he landed with 150 men, and it may be presumed that he left at least 50 in charge of his ships.
