Accomplishments

Just recently, I was on an expedition of privateers in the service of France. I captured two of Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés's ships, of the galleon design. I really do hope that King Francis will hear of my accomplishments. Maybe then he will consider me to be the captain for this journey. Oh, what an achievement that would be! The news had just hit Europe about Ferdinand Magellan's route around the tip of South America to the Far East. I do hope that the king isn’t to impressed by that and chooses him instead of me. Well, I shall see where this ends up. All I know is that if I was chosen, I would rejoice with happiness.
