It may be that he was justified of his gallant confidence, and that he would that day have put an end to the wild career of Don Miguel de Espinosa, but that a lucky shot from the Milagrosa got among some powder stored in his forecastle, and blew up half his ship almost before the fight started. How the powder came there will never now be known, and the gallant Captain himself did not survive to enquire into it.

I might be wrong, but I do not think it matters where the powder is.( assuming it is gunpowder) I have never herd of gunpowder exploding before on its own. When it is lighted it only burns. Like in the cowboy day, They put gunpowder in line to a pile of explosives. It would be stupid to light gun powder if was going to explode right there and kill them.
