Don Blas de Leso commanded the Spanish ships in the
harbour of Carthagena, and when they were taken it appeared
that he had escaped. He is therefore represented in a boat,
and though they “ looked for him” he was not to be found.
He had made himself personally unpopular in England by his
insolence. For the better defence of the harbour a chain boom
was drawn across the entrance.
