June 1599 CE
The army marches further south, while Essex goes to Mallow on a mission to procure supplies.
He rejoins his men with a MacCarthy ally, but by the time they reach the heart of Desmond rebel country, the Sugán Earl has gone into the field.
The river Blackwater is forded at Affane, and at a council of war in Essex's tent Norris is allowed eleven hundred foot and a company of horse to pursue the war in Munster.
Essex marches unhindered eastward through Lord Power's country to Waterford city, where he is received with two Latin orations and a joyful concourse of people on June 21.
The army is now ferried out of Munster and back into Leinster, an operation that takes a frustrating length of time.
Essex himself on June 22 leaves Waterford.
