RIght

this

(

shewing
a
late
voyage
performed
by
certain
Hollanders
to
the
Islandes
of

,
part
of
the

)
falling
into
my
handes
,
and
in
my
iudgement
deseruing
no
lesse
commendation
then
those
of
our
Countrey

,
(

studious

I
thought
it
not
vnconuenient
to
translate
the
same
into
our

tongue
,
thereby
to
procure
more
light
and
encouragement
to
such
as
are
desirous
to
trauell
those
Countries
,
for
the
common
wealth
and
commoditie
of
this
Realme
and
themselues
.
And
knowing
that
all
men
are
not
like
affected
,
I
was
so
bold
to
shrowd
it
vnder
your
worships
protection
,
as
being
assured
of
your
good
disposition
to
the
fauouring

and
whereby
it
hath
pleased
God
to
aduance
you
to
that
honourable
title
,
which
at
this
present
you
beare
)
and
so
not
fitter
for
the
protection
of
any
then
your selfe
:
and
as
a
poore

wishing
all
happines
and
prosperity
in
all
your
valiant

Which
if
it
please
your

to

accept
,
it
may
procure
the
proceeding
in
a
more
large
and
ample
discourse
of
an
East
Indian
voyage
,
lately
performed
and
set
forth
by
one
Iohn
Hughen
of
Linschoten
,
to
your
further

.
Wherewith
crauing
your
fauor
,
&
beseeching
God
to

your
worship
,
with
my
good
Ladie
your

,
I
most
humbly
take
my
leaue
:
This
16.
of
Ianuarie
.
1597.
Your
Worships
to
commaunde
W.
Phillip
.
To
the
Bayliefes
,
Burghemaisters
,
&
Counsell
of
the
Towne
of
Middelborgh
in
Zeelande
.
IT
may
well
bee
thought
(
Right
worshipfull
)
as
many
learned
men
are
of
opinion
,
that
the
actions
and
aduentures
of
the
ancients
long
since
done
&
performed
,
haue
beene
set
forth
with
more
show
of
wonder
and
strangenesse
then
they
in
truth
deserued
:
the
reason
as
I
think
was
,
because
that
in
those
daies
there
were
many
learned
and
wise
men
,
who
in
their
writings
sought
by
all
meanes
they
could
to
excell
each
other
,
touching
the
description
of
Countries
&
nations
:
And
againe
to
the
contrarie
,
for
want
of
good
Historiographers
and
writers
,
many
famous
actes
and
trauels
of
diuers
nations
and
Countries
lie
hidden
,
and
in
a
manner
buried
vnder
ground
,
as
wholly
forgotten
and
vnknowne
,
vnlesse
it
were
such
as
the
Grecians
and
Romanes
for
their
owne
glories
and
aduantages
thought
good
to
declare
.
But
to
come
to
the
matter
of
voyages
by
sea
,
it
is
euident
to
all
the
world
,
what
voyage
Iason
with
certaine
yong
Grecian
Princes
made
to
Colchos
in
the
Oriental
Countries
to
winne
the
golden
Fleece
,
as
also
the
trauels
by
Hercules
performed
into
Libia
in
the
West
partes
,
to
winne
the
Aurea
Mala
or
golden
apples
of
Hesperides
,
which
notwithstanding
neither
for
length
,
daunger
,
nor
profite
,
are
any
thing
comparable
to
the
nauigations
and
voyages
,
that
of
late
within
the
space
of
one
hundreth
years
haue
been
performed
&
made
into
the
East
&
West
Indies
,
whereby
in
a
manner
there
is
not
one
hauen
on
the
sea
coast
,
nor
any
point
of
land
in
the
whole
world
,
but
hath
in
time
beene
sought
and
founde
out
.
I
will
not
at
this
present
dispute
or
make
an
argument
,
whether
the
Countries
and
nations
of
late
yeares
found
out
and
discouered
,
were
knowne
to
the
auncients
,
but
this
is
most
certaine
,
that
not
any
strange
worke
or
aduenture
was
,
or
euer
shall
be
performed
,
but
by
the
speciall
grace
,
fauour
and
mightie
hand
of
God
,
and
that
such
are
worthy
perpetual
memory
,
as
with
noble
minds
haue
sought
to
effect
,
and
be
the
first
enterprisers
thereof
,
and
with
most
valiant
courages
and
wisedomes
,
haue
performed
such
long
&
dangerous
voyages
into
the
East
and
West
Indies
,
as
also
such
Kinges
and
Princes
,
as
with
their
Princely
liberalities
haue
imployed
their
treasures
,
shippes
,
men
and
munitions
to
the
furtherance
and
performance
of
so
worthy
actes
,
which
notwithstanding
in
the
end
turned
to
their
great
aduancementes
and
inriching
with
great
treasures
,
which
by
those
meanes
they
haue
drawn
,
&
caused
in
great
aboundance
to
be
brought
from
thence
,
in
such
manner
,
that
the
King
of
Spaine
nowe
liuing
,
(
hauing
both
the
Indies
in
his
possession
,
&
reaping
the
abundant
treasures
which
yearly
are
brought
out
of
those
countries
)
hath
not
only
(
although
couertly
)
sought
all
the
means
he
could
to
bring
all
Christendome
vnder
his
dominion
,
but
also
(
that
which
no
King
or
country
whatsoeuer
although
of
greater
might
then
he
hath
euer
done
)
hee
is
not
ashamed
to
vse
this
posie
,
Necspe
,
nec
metu
.
And
although
the
first
founders
and
discouerers
of
those
Countries
haue
alwayes
sought
to
hinder
and
intercept
other
nations
from
hauing
any
part
of
their
glorie
,
yet
hereby
all
nations
,
&
indifferent
persons
may
well
know
and
perceiue
the
speciall
policie
,
and
valour
of
these
vnited
Prouinces
,
in
trauelling
into
both
the
Indies
,
in
the
faces
,
&
to
the
great
griefe
of
their
many
and
mighty
enemies
.
Wherby
it
is
to
be
hoped
,
that
if
they
continue
in
their
enterprises
begun
,
they
will
not
onely
draw
the
most
part
of
the
Indian
treasures
into
these
Countries
,
but
thereby
disinherite
&
spoyle
the
Countrie
of
Spayne
of
her
principall
reuenewes
,
and
treasures
of
marchandises
and
trafiques
,
which
she
continually
vseth
and
receyueth
out
of
these
countries
,
and
out
of
Spayne
are
sent
into
the
Indies
,
and
so
put
the
King
of
Spaine
himselfe
in
minde
of
his
foolish
deuise
which
hee
vseth
for
a
posie
touching
the
new
world
,
which
is
,
Non
sufficit
orbis
,
like
a
second
Alexander
magnus
,
desiring
to
rule
ouer
all
the
world
,
as
it
is
manifestly
knowne
.
And
because
this
discription
is
fallen
into
my
handes
,
wherein
is
contayned
the
first
voyage
of
the
Low-country
men
into
the
East
Indies
,
with
the
aduentures
happened
vnto
them
,
set
downe
and
iustified
by
such
as
were
present
in
the
voyage
,
I
thought
it
good
to
put
it
in
print
,
with
many
pictures
and
cardes
,
whereby
the
reader
may
the
easilier
perceyue
and
discerne
,
the
natures
,
apparels
,
and
fashions
of
those
Countries
and
people
,
as
also
the
manner
of
their
shippes
,
together
with
the
fruitfulnesse
and
great
aboundance
of
the
same
,
hoping
that
this
my
labour
will
not
onely
be
acceptable
vnto
all
Marchants
and
Saylers
,
which
hereafter
meane
to
traffique
into
those
Countries
,
but
also
pleasant
and
profitable
to
all
such
as
are
desirous
to
looke
into
so
newe
and
strange
things
,
which
neuer
heretofore
were
knowne
vnto
our
nation
.
And
againe
for
that
all
histories
haue
their
particular
commoditie
,
(
specially
such
as
are
collected
and
gathered
together
)
not
by
common
report
,
from
the
first
,
seconde
,
or
thirde
man
,
but
by
such
as
haue
seene
and
beene
present
in
the
actions
,
and
that
are
liuing
to
iustifie
and
verifie
the
same
:
And
although
eloquence
and
words
well
placed
in
shewing
a
history
,
are
great
ornamentes
and
beautifyinges
to
the
same
,
yet
such
reports
&
declarations
are
much
more
worthy
credite
,
&
commendabler
for
the
benefit
of
the
commonwealth
,
which
are
not
set
down
or
disciphered
by
subtill
eloquence
,
but
showne
and
performed
by
simple
plaine
men
,
such
as
by
copiousnesse
of
wordes
,
or
subtiltie
do
not
alter
or
chaunge
the
matter
from
the
truth
thereof
,
which
at
this
day
is
a
common
and
notorious
fault
in
many
Historiographers
:
And
thinking
with
my selfe
to
whome
I
were
best
to
dedicate
the
same
,
I
found
it
not
fitter
for
any
then
for
the
right
worshipfull
Gouernours
of
this
famous
Towne
of
Middelborgh
,
wherein
for
the
space
of
19.
yeares
I
haue
peaceably
continued
,
specially
because
your
worships
do
not
onely
deale
with
great
store
of
shipping
,
and
matter
belonging
to
nauigation
,
but
are
also
well
pleased
to
heare
,
and
great
furtherers
to
aduance
both
shipping
and
traffiques
,
wherein
consisteth
not
onely
the
welfare
of
all
marchants
,
inhabitants
,
and
cittizens
of
this
famous
City
,
but
also
of
all
the
common
wealth
of
the
vnited
Prouinces
,
hoping
your
worships
wil
not
onely
accept
this
my
labour
,
but
protect
&
warrantise
the
same
against
all
men
:
Wherwith
I
beseech
God
to
blesse
you
with
wisedome
,
and
godly
policie
,
to
gouerne
the
Common
wealth

A
briefe
discription
of
a
voyage
performed
by
certaine
Hollanders
to
&
from
the
East
INDIES
,
with
their
aduentures
and
successe
.
THe
ancient
Historiographers
and
discribers
of
the
world
haue
much
commended
,
and
at
large
with
great
prayse
set
downe
the
diuers
and
seuerall
voyages
of
many
noble
&
valiant
Captains
(
as
of
Alexander
Magnus
,
Seleucus
,
Antiochus
,
Patrocles
,
Onesecritus
)
into
the
East
Indies
,
which
notwithstanding
haue
not
set
downe
a
great
part
of
those
coontries
,
as
not
being
as
then
discouered
,
whereby
it
is
thought
and
iudged
by
some
men
,
that
India
is
the
full
third
part
of
all
the
world
,
because
of
the
great
Prouinces
,
mighty
Citties
,
famous
and
Islands
(
full
of
costly
marchandises
,
and
treasures
from
thence
brought
into
all
partes
of
the
worlde
)
that
are
therein
:
Wherein
the
auncient
writers
were
very
curious
,
and
yet
not
so
much
as
men
in
our
age
:
They
had
some
knowledge
thereof
,
but
altogether
vncertaine
,
but
we
at
this
day
are
fully
certified
therein
,
both
touching
the
countries
,
townes
,
streames
and
hauens
,
with
the
trafiques
therein
vsed
and
frequented
,
whereby
all
the
world
,
so
farre
distant
and
seperated
from
those
strange
nations
,
are
by
trade
of
marchandises
vnited
therevnto
,
&
therby
commonly
knowne
vnto
them
:
The
Portingalles
first
began
to
enterprise
the
voyage
,
who
by
art
of
nauigation
(
in
our
time
much
more
experienced
&
greater
then
in
times
past
,
and
therefore
easilier
performed
)
discouered
those
wild
Countries
of
India
,
therein
procuring
great
honour
to
their
King
,
making
his
name
famous
,
and
bringing
a
speciall
and
great
profite
of
all
kindes
of
spices
into
their
Countrie
,
which
thereby
is
spread
throughout
all
the
worlde
,
yet
that
sufficed
not
,
for
that
the
Englishmen
(
not
inferiour
to
any
nation
in
the
world
for
arte
of
nauigation
)
haue
likewise
vndertaken
the
Indian
voyage
,
and
by
their
said
voyages
into
those
Countries
,
made
the
same
commonly
knowne
vnto
their
Country
,
wherein
Sir
Fraunces
Drake
,
and
M.
Candish
are
chiefly
to
bee
commended
,
who
not
onely
sayled
into
the
East
Indies
,
but
also
rounde
about
the
world
,
with
most
prosperous
voyages
,
by
which
their
voyages
,
ours
haue
beene
furthered
and
set
forwarde
,
for
that
the
condition
of
the
Indies
is
,
that
the
more
it
is
sayled
into
,
the
more
it
is
discouered
,
by
such
as
sayle
the
same
,
so
strange
a
Countrey
it
is
:
So
that
besides
the
famous
voyages
of
the
Countries
aforesaid
,
in
the
ende
certain
people
came
into
Holland
(
a
nation
wel
known
)
certifying
them
,
that
they
might
easily
prepare
certaine
shippes
to
sayle
into
the
East
Indies
,
there
to
traffique
&
buy
spyces
,
&c.
By
sayling
straight
from
Hollande
and
also
from
other
countries
bordering
about
it
,
with
desire
to
see
strange
and
rich
wares
of
other
Countries
,
&
that
should
not
be
brought
vnto
them
by
strangers
,
but
by
their
owne
countrey
men
,
which
some
men
would
esteeme
to
be
impossible
,
considering
the
long
voyage
and
the
daungers
thereof
,
together
with
the
vnaccustomed
saylinges
and
little
knowledge
thereof
by
such
as
neuer
sayled
that
way
,
and
rather
esteeme
it
madnesse
,
then
any
point
of
wisedome
,
and
folly
rather
then
good
consideration
.
But
notwithstanding
wee
haue
seene
foure
ships
make
that
voyage
,
who
after
many
dangers
hauing
performed
their
voyage
,
returned
againe
and
haue
brought
with
them
those
wares
,
that
would
neuer
haue
beene
thought
coulde
haue
beene
brought
into
these
countries
by
any
Holland
ships
;
but
what
shoulde
I
herein
most
commende
eyther
the
willingnesse
and
good
performance
of
the
parties
,
or
the
happinesse
of
their
voyage
?
whereof
that
I
may
giue
the
reader
some
knowledge
,
I
will
shew
what
I
haue
hearde
and
beene
informed
of
,
concerning
the

The

we
espyed

Departing
from

keeping

vpon
the

we
passed

the

They
entred
into

The
second
of
August
we
saw
the
land
of
the
Cape

and
the
fourth
of
the

Month
we
entered
into
a
hauen
called

,
where
wee
ankered
,
and
found
good
depth
at

,
sandy

.
The
5.
day
we
went
on
shore
to
gather
fruite
,
therewith
to
refresh
our
sicke
men
,
that
were
thirty
or
33.
in

In
this

lyeth
a
smal
Islande
,
wherein
are
many
birdes
called
Pyncuius
and
sea
Wolues
that
are
taken
with
mens
handes
:
we
went
into
the
countrey
and
spake
with
the
inhabitantes
,
who
brought
diuers
fresh
victuailes
aborde
our
shippes
,
for
a

small

are

they
seeme

vsed
all
kind
of

,
but
are
very
beastly
and
stinking
,
in
such
sort
,
that
you
may
smell
them
in
the
wind
at
the
least
a
fadome
from
you
:
They
are
apparrelled
with
beastes
skinnes
made
fast
about
their
neckes
:
some
of
them
,
being
of
the
better
sort
,
had
their
mantles
cut
&
raysed
checkerwise
,
which
is
a
great
ornament
with
them
:
They
eate
raw
flesh
,
as
it
is
new
killed
,
and
the
entrailes
of
beastes
without
washing
or
making

vnder

they
tye
peeces

that
they
may
trauel

We
could
not
see
their
habitations
,
for
wee
saw
no
houses
they
had
,
neither
could
wee
vnderstande
them

for
they
speake
very
strangely

much
like
the
children
in
our
Countrey
with
their
pipes
,
and
clocking
like
Turkey

At

The
11.
of
August
we
hoysed
anker
,
sayling
towards
the
Island
of
S.
Laurence
,
and
the
22.
of
the
same
Month
we
had
a
contrary

that
blew
North

:
The

a

so
held

lay

The

wee
discouered
the
point
of
the
Islande
of
S.
Laurence
.
vnder
16.
degrees
,
and
the
third
day
we
saw
the
Island
being
very
desirous
to
go
on
land
,
for
that
many
of
our
men
were
sicke
,
whereby
wee
coulde
hardly
rule
our
shippes
,
or
bring
them
farther
without
healing
,
or
refreshing
of
our
men
.
They
had
great
store
of

The
9.
of
September
Iohn
Schellinger
sent
out
his
boate
to
rowe
to

,
where
they
founde
three
Fishermen
,
of
whome
for
two
or
three
kniues
they
had
great
store
of
fishes
.
The
13.
we
entred
into
a
small
Bay
,
but
because
wee
founde
no
good
anker
ground
,
as
also
being
very
foule
we
sayled
out
againe
.
The
14.
we
sayled
vnder
a
small
Island
about
a
mile
or
2.
great
,
by
the
Hollanders
called
their
Church
yarde
,
or
the

,
because
many
saylers
dying
in
that
place
,
were
buried
in

,
and
the
29.
of
the
same
Month
died
Iohn

and
was
buried

There
Iohn
Peters

&
Koelken

of
the
Amsterdam
were
set
on
shore
vpon
the
Island
of
S.
Laurence
,
where
they
were
left
,
because
they
had
committed
certaine
notorious
crimes
.
Meane
time
the
Pinnace
was
sent
out
to
looke
for
fresh
water
,
which
hauing
found
,
the
boat
returned
to
bring

newes
,
and
therewith
the
fleete
sayled
thither
,
and
the
10.
of
October
the
shippes
ankered
before
the
Riuer
,
and
went
on
shore
,
where
we
found
good
prouision
of
all
necessaries
,
the
inhabitantes
being
very
willing
thereunto
,
bringing
vs
of
al
things
that
we
needed
,
where
for
a
Pewter
Spoone
wee
had
an
Oxe

or
three
sheepe
.
How
the
wilde
men
,
assailed
them
,
and
forced
them
to
insconce
themselues
.
The
11.
of
October
we
went
on
shore
with
a
boatfull
of
sicke
men
,
and
the
next
day
we
were
assayled
by
a
company
of
wild
men
,
against
whom
our
weapons
little
preuayled
,
for
they
hurt
one
of
our
men
,
and
tooke
all
that
we
had
from
vs
,
whereby
vpon
the
thirteenth
of
the
same
Month
,
wee
were
forced
to
insconse
ourselues
with
peeces
of
wood
,
and
braunches
of
trees
,
making
Cabins
within
our
Sconse
,
for
that
the
15.
of
October
they
came
againe
,
but
then
we
tooke
one
,
and
slew
another
of
them
.
The
19.
of
Nouember
our
Pilot
Claes
Ianson
was
intrapped
and
murthered
by
the
wild
people
,
although
we
vsed
all
the
means
we
could
to
helpe
him
,
but
they
feared
no
weapons
,
about
ten
or
twelue
dayes
after
we
tooke
one
of
them
that
paide
for
his
death
.
The
first
of
December
our
men
hauing
for
the
most
part
recouered
their
healthes
,
were
all
carryed
aborde
the
ships
:
The
maner
&

of
the

in
that

and
goe
naked
,
onely
with
a
Cotton
cloth
before
their
priuie
members
,
and
some
from
their
breasts
downward
:
Their
ornaments
are
Copper
ringes
about
their
armes
,
but
Tin
rings
are
more
esteemed
with
them
,
and
therefore
Tinne
with
them
is
good
Marchandise
.
Their
Oxen
haue
great
lumpes
of
fat
vpon
their

:
Their

way
at
the
least
twelue

being
of
an

long
,
&
two
and
twentie
inches
thick

They
gaue
vs
six
of
those
sheepe
for
a
tinne
Spoone
:
They
dwel
in
cottages
and
liue
very
poorely
:
they
feare
the
noyse
of
a
peece
,
for
with
one
Caliuer
you
shall
make
an
hundred
of
them
runne
away
:
Wee
coulde
not
perceyue
any
religion
they
had
,
but
after
wee
were
informed
that
they
helde
the
law
of
Mahomet
,
for
the
two
boyes
that
wee
tooke
from
of
the
land
,
shewed
vs
their
circumcision
:
There
we
found
no
fruit
of
Tambaxiumes
,
but
great
numbers
of
Parrats
,
Medicats
,
and
Turtle
Doues
,
whereof
we
killed
and
eat
many
.
The
second
of
December
we
burned
our
Sconse
,
and
fourteene
of
our
men
going
further
into
the
Islande
,
brought
certaine
of
the
countreymen
prisoners
,
and
being
abord
our
ships
taught
them
what
they
shoulde
doe
.
The
thirteenth
of
December
wee
hoysed
anker
,
minding
to
holde
on
our
course
for
the
Islands
of
Iaua
,
&
for
that
by
reason
of
the
pleasantnesse
of
the
ayre
we
had
in
a
manner
all
recouered
our
healthes
,
we
set
our
course
East
and
by
North
,
and
East
Northeast
.
The
nineteenth
of
the
same
Month
wee
were
seperated
by
foule
weather
,
&
the
22.
with
great
ioy
we
met
againe
.
The
tenth
of
Ianuarie
Vechter
Willemson
dyed
,
being
a
verie
honest
man
,
and
Pilot
in
Molenaers
shippe
,
for
whome
we
were
much
grieued
,
and
the
same
day
we
determined
to
put
back
againe
for
the
Islande
of
S.
Laurence
,
for
as
then
wee
began
againe
to
haue
a
great
scouring
among
our
men
,
and
many
of
them
fell
sicke
:
The
wilde
men
brought
things
aborde
to
comfort
them
.
But
presently
therevpon
we
espied
the
Islande
of
Saint
Mary
,
and
the
next
day
being
arriued
there
,
some
of
the
inhabitants
came
abord
out
shippes
with
a
basket
of
Ryce
,
Sugar
canes
,
Citrons
,
Lemons
,
&
Hens
,
whereof
we
were
very
glad
,
as
being
phisicke
for
vs
.
The
13.
14.
15.
16.
and
17.
dayes
we
were
on
land
,
where
we
bought
Ryce
,
Hens
,
Sugar-canes
,
Citrons
,
and
Lemons
in
great
aboundance
,
and
other
kinde
of
fruites
to
vs
vnknowne
,
also
good
fish
,
and
greene
Ginger
:
There
we
tooke
a
Fish
,
which
thirteen
men
could
hardly
pull
into
our
shippe
,
and
because
the
Island
was
little
,
and
we
had
many
men
,
wee
entred
into
the
Bay
of
the
firme
land
with
our
Pinnace
,
where
for
a
string
of
Beades
of
small
value
we
had
a
tunne
of
Ryce
:
The
discription
of
one
of
their
kings
.
The
King
came
abord
our
Pinnace
to
see
it
,
&
was
as
blacke
as
a
Deuill
,
with
two
hornes
made
fast
vpon
his
heade
,
and
all
his
body
naked
like
the
rest
of
the
countrey
people
.

The

came
on

and
seemed
very
friendy
.
The
23.
of
Ianuary
we
ankered
before
a
Riuer
where
likewise
we
had
all
kind
of
necessaries
,
and
after
that
we
went
to
lie
vnder
a
small
Islande
within
the
same
Bay
.
The
25.
of
Ianuarie
there
came
some
of
the
wild
people
aborde
our
ships
,
making
signes
to
haue
vs
go
on
land
,
which
we
did
,
and
there
we
had
good
Ryce
&
other
fruits
in
great
abundance
:
on
the
left
side
of
the
entry
of
the
Riuer
lyeth
one
of
their
Townes
,
and
on
the
right
hand
two
townes
,
where
we
had
most
of
our
trafique
.
The
26.
of
Ianuarie
wee
had
interpreters
,
whom
we
made
to
drink
wine
,
wherewith
they
were
as
drunk
as
beastes
.
The
manner
&
condition
of
the
people
inhabiting
in
the
great
Bay
of
Antogil
,
on
this
side
the
Equinoctiall
line
vnder
16.
degrees
,
on
the
South
side
of
the
Island
Madagascar
.
IT
is
a
very
great
Bay
,
about
ten
mile
broade
,
behind
it
lyeth
a
high
Island
,
and
three
small
Islands
:
there
is
good
harbour
against
all
windes
.
The
Island
is
inhabited
,
and
therein
groweth
all
kindes
of
fruites
,
it
hath
a
great
fall
of
water
that
commeth
down
out
of
the
hilles
,
where
we
laded
all
our
water
,
and
halfe
a
mile
from
thence
within
the
land
,
there
runneth
a
great
Riuer
,
wherein
likewise
there
is
much
water
to
be
had
,
when
you
enter
into
the
Riuer
about
a
quarter
of
a
mile
inward
on
the
left
hand
,
ther
is
a
smal
towne
or
village
,
not
closed
nor
fortified
,
in
it
there
is
about
200.
houses
,
&
on
the
right
hand
where
the
Riuer
diuideth
it selfe
,
there
is
two
other
such
Townes
:
They
were
all
compassed
with
palles
,
and
the
houses
were
placed
about
two
foote
aboue
the
ground
,
vpon
foure
or
fiue
palles
or
stakes
of
wood
,
and
all
the
vpper
partes
of
reede
and
strawe
.
Why
their
houses
stand
so
high
aboue
the
earth
.
The
cause
why
their
houses
are
made
so
high
from
the
ground
,
is
to
auoide
the
danger
of
venemous
beastes
that
are
there
in
great
aboundance
,
as
Serpents
,
Snakes
,
Camelions
,
and
other
kindes
of
beastes
.
The
maner
of
the
wilde
men
in
that
countrey
.
The
people
are
very
blacke
,
but
their
hayre
and
beardes
are
not
so
much
curled
as
the
right
Mores
,
nor
their
noses
nor
lippes
so
great
nor
flat
.
They
are
subtill
and
strong
people
,
much
addicted
to
drinking
,
for
they
will
bee
as
drunke
as
Swine
,
with
a
kind
of
drinke
made
of
Honie
&
Ryce
.
They
go
naked
,
onely
that
about
their
midles
they
weare
a
cloth
made
of
the
barke
of
a
tree
,
drawne
in
small
threedes
:
they
make
and
vse
very
fine
Mats
to
sitte
vppon
:
They
haue
no
great
store
of
weapons
,
for
that
halfe
of
them
are
vnprouided
,
and
that
they
vse
is
a
speare
of
nine
or
ten
foote
long
,
with
a
great
wooden
Target
:
They
are
very
fearefull
of
our
Caliuers
,
for
5.
or
sixe
men
with
Caliuers
will
cause
great
numbers
of
them
to
flie
away
:
We
taught
them
what
our
Peeces
ment
,
for
wee
perceyued
that
they
knew
them
not
,
before
they
had
proued
them
:
at
the
first
they
thought
they
coulde
carry
no
further
then
their
owne
lengthes
,
for
they
knew
not
what
they
were
:
Their
Kinges
ornamentes
were
ten
or
twelue
Copper
Rings
about
his
armes
:
if
we
had
had
such
Ringes
with
vs
,
wee
might
haue
sold
them
at
what
prices
wee
woulde
.
They
likewise
vse
beades
of
Glasse
,
which
they
weare
about
their
armes
and
neckes
,
by
them
esteemed
for
great
ornaments
:
for
a
boxe
of
beades
of
small
value
,
we
had
an
Oxe
,
or
three
or
foure
Sheepe
,
rounde
about
this
Bay
are
townes
and
villages
,
where
you
may
haue
of
all
things
to
refresh
your selues
,
Lemons
and
Citrons
are
there
greater
and
better
then
in
Portingall
:
Likewise
Oringes
,
Ryce
,
Hennes
,
Goats
,
Honie
,
and
many
other
sortes
of
fruites
,
and
to
conclude
it
is
the
best
Bay
in
all
the
world
to
refresh
ships
.
Being
on
land
we
were
wel
entertayned
,
and
must
of
force
drink
with
them
of
their
drinke
made
of
Hony
and
Ryce
:
There
we
trafiqued
with
them
,
and
had
sufficient
of
euery
thing
,
but
euery
night
we
went
aborde
our
shippes
.
The
third
of
February
we
had
so
great
a
storme
,
that
most
of
our
ankers
were
lost
,
and
we
ran
vpon
the
land
in
great
daunger
to
cast
our
ships
away
,
but
God
holpe
vs
,
for
the
storme
ceased
,
and
then
we
went
to
hoyse
vp
our
lost
ankers
,
and
so
againe
went
to
anker
vnder
the
Island
,
glad
that
we
had
so
well
escaped
that
daunger
.
The
fift
of
February
we
went
to
seeke
for
our
boats
,
but
the
wild
men
had
smitten
them
in
peeces
,
&
taken
out
the
nailes
,
thinking
likewise
that
our
shippes
woulde
haue
beene
cast
away
vpon
the
shore
,
which
they
still
expected
:
and
when
we
came
thither
,
they
stood
vpon
the
shore
with
their
weapons
in
hand
and
threw
stones
at
vs
,
and
we
perceyuing
them
in
that
minde
,
made
towardes
our
shippes
,
for
we
desired
not
to
reuenge
our selues
,
nor
once
to
fight
with
them
without
commission
from
our
Generall
,
whom
we
certified
thereof
.
The
eyght
of
February
we
rowed
into
the
Riuer
to
buy
cattle
,
and
other
things
,
but
they
were
become
our
enemies
,
threatning
and
casting
stones
at
vs
,
wherevpon
we
put
out
two
shalops
to
run
a
shore
close
to
the
land
,
and
made
our
Caliuers
and
other
weapons
ready
.

The
12.
of
Februarie
wee
hoised
anker
,
and
set
sayle
out
of
the
great
Bay
of
Antongil
,
being
well
prouided
of
all
necessaries
,
we
put
out
with
a
North
wind
,
the
Bay
stretching
Northeast
and
Southwest
:
The
2.
of
March
we
had
a
West
winde
,
our
course
being
East
and
East
&
by
North
towards
Iaua
.
In
March
and
Aprill
about
the
Islande
of
Brandawe
,
we
found
that
our
Compasses
helde
two
Strikes
to
farre
Northwarde
,
and
we
coulde
not
perceiue
the
sands
that
are
set
downe
in
the
Portingalles
sea
Cards
,
but
we
saw
many
turnings
of
streames
,
and
we
were
much
troubled
with
calmes
,
but
with
the
new
Moone
we
had
winde
enough
out
of
the
West
&
North
west
.
The
27.
of
May
we
found
the
water
abord
our
shippes
to
bee
much
lessened
,
and
therefore
euery
mans
portion
was
but
halfe
as
much
as
he
was
wont
to
haue
;
so
that
each
man
was
allowed
but
foure
draughts
euery
day
,
which
was
but
a
small
quantitie
.
Whereby
through
the
extreame
heat
we
endured
great
thirst
,
so
that
at
that
time
a
draught
of
water
abord
our
ship
was
worth
a
Riall
of
8.
The
first
of
Iuly
we
saw
the
Islande
of
Emgano
,
whereat
we
much
reioyced
,
because
of
the
great
thirst
wee
endured
in
our
shippe
,
and
when
wee
made
neerer
to
it
,
we
perceyued
it
to
be
an
Islande
lying
before
the
straightes
of
Sonda
,
vnder
9.
degrees
on
the
south
side
of
the
line
.
The
sixt
of
Iuly
we
put
somewhat
nearer
to
the
land
,
and
there
we
saw
sixe
or
seuen
canes
lying
vnder
the
shore
,
but
farre
off
,
and
durst
not
make
toward
vs
:
in
the
end
we
manned
out
a
shalop
&
rowed
to
land
,
but
they
made
from
vs
,
&
when
our
men
were
hard
by
the
shore
,
there
we
saw
about
40.
or
50.
of
them
standing
vpon
the
shore
with
their
bowes
;
wherewith
our
men
durst
not
land
,
for
they
seemed
to
be
a
cruell
kind
of
people
,
and
altogether
wild
,
for
they
went
all
naked
,
not
hauing
any
thing
before
their
priuy
members
.
They
were
of
a
reddish
colour
,
but
when
our
men
saw
no
aduantage
they
turned
again
vnto
their
shippes
.
The
seuenth
of
Iuly
we
saw
the
point
of
the
land
of
Sumatra
,
which
is
a
verie
high
land
descending
downewarde
with
a
long
end
.
The
11.
of
the
same
Month
we
were
close
vnder
the
land
,
where
there
lay
an
Island
,
and
there
we
ankered
.
The
12.
of
Iuly
in
the
morning
we
saw
certaine
ships
,
whereof
one
came
vnto
vs
,
wee
rowed
vnto
it
with
a
shalop
,
and
spake
with
it
,
but
we
could
not
vnderstand
them
,
but
they
shewed
vs
where
we
should
haue
water
,
which
made
vs
glad
,
that
wee
might
once
againe
haue
our
bellies
full
of
water
:
it
being
almost
foure
Monthes
that
wee
had
not
seene
any
land
,
nor
taken
in
any
fresh
victuailes
.
We
sent
our
Pinace
to
the
firme
land
of
Sumatra
,
there
to
seeke
for
some
reliefe
:
for
that
where
we
lay
there
dwelt
not
any
man
.
The
maner
of
the
Gouernor
of
Sumatras
comming
on
bord
.
The
13.
of
Iuly
the
Captain
or
principall
ruler
of
Sumatra
came
abord
our
ships
to
see
them
,
which
was
done
with
great
solemnitie
,
hee
being
apparelled
after
the
Turkish
manner
,
with
a
wreath
about
his
heade
,
and
a
fearefull
countenance
,
small
eyes
,
great
eye
browes
,
and
little
beard
,
for
a
man
might
tell
all
the
haires
vpon
his
chinne
:
he
brought
vs
a
present
of
Betele
,
which
are
leaues
which
they
continually
chaw
,
and
eat
it
with
chalke
.
This
Island
of
Sumatra
or
Taprobana
(
as
it
is
saide
)
is
the
greatest
of
all
the
Orientall
Islandes
,
it
is
diuided
from
the
firme
land
of
Malacca
by
a
straight
and
dangerous
sea
,
by
reason
of
many
Islandes
and
cliffes
that
are
within
it
:
Out
of
this
Island
as
some
men
are
of
opinion
,
Salomon
had
his
Gold
wherewith
he
beautified
the
Temple
,
and
his
owne
pallace
,
and
then
in
the
Bible
it
should
be
named
Orphir
,
for
certainly
Sumatra
is
rich
of
mynes
of
Golde
,
Siluer
and
Mettall
,
and
the
inhabitants
therof
are
very
expert
in
melting
of
brasse
peeces
:
Therein
is
a
fountaine
of
pure
Balsame
,
the
Portingalles
haue
no
fortresse
therein
,
yet
they
traffique
in
certaine
hauens
,
specially
in
Pedir
and
Campar
:
There
is
also
in
this
Island
a
place
called
Manancabo
,
where
they
make
poinyardes
and
daggers
,
by
them
calde
cryses
,
which
are
much
esteemed
in
those
Countries
,
and
those
of
Malacca
and
Iaua
,
hold
them
for
their
best
weapons
,
and
with
them
are
very
bold
.
The
same
day
our
Pinnace
returned
againe
vnto
vs
,
bringing
vs
good
newes
,
that
wee
were
welcome
vnto
the
Countrey
people
,
and
brought
vs
certaine
Indian
Nuttes
,
or
Cocus
,
Melons
,
Cocombers
,
Onions
,
Garlicke
,
and
a
sample
of
Peper
and
other
spices
,
which
liked
vs
well
.
The
fourteenth
of
Iune
we
laded
in
some
fresh
water
.

The
15.
of

there
rowed
a
scute
called
a
Prawen
harde
vnder
the
lande
by
vs
,
wee
called
him
,
but
not
against
his
will
,
and
shewed
him
siluer
,
and
other
wares
that
liked
him
well
,
he
bad
vs
make
towards
the
strand
,
and
told
vs
of
Bantam
,
saying
that
there
we
should
haue
al
kinds
of
Marchandise
.
Then
we
made
signs
vnto
him
that
if
he
wold
bring
vs
to
Bantam
,
we
wold
pay
him
for
his
labor
,
he
asked
vs
5.
rialles
of
8.
and
a
red
cap
,
which
we
graunted
vnto
,
and
so
one
of
the
men
in
the
scute
came
on
bord
the
Mauritius
,
and
was
our
Pilot
to
Bantam
,
where
we
passed
by
many
Islandes
.
The
nineteenth
of
Iuly
as
wee
sailed
by
a
towne
,
many
Portingalles
borded
vs
,
and
brought
vs
certaine
Cocus
and
Hens
to
sell
,
which
wee
bought
for
other
wares
.
The
22.
of
the
same
Month
wee
came
before
the
towne
of
Bantam
,
within
three
miles
of
it
,
and
there
ankered
vnder
an
Island
.
The
same
day
about
euening
a
scute
of
Portingals
borded
vs
that
were
sent
by
the
Gouernour
to
see
what
ships
we
were
,
&
when
we
shewed
them
that
wee
came
thither
to
traficke
with
them
,
they
told
vs
,
that
there
was
the
right
Pepper
country
,
&
that
there
we
might
haue
our
lading
,
that
new
Pepper
was
readie
to
be
gathered
,
and
would
be
ripe
within
two
Monthes
after
,
which
pleased
vs
well
,
for
wee
had
already
beene
fifteene
Monthes
and
twelue
daies
vppon
our
voyage
,
hauing
endured
great
daungers
,
miseries
and
thirst
,
many
of
our
men
by
sicknesse
being
dead
.
The
23.
of
Iune
wee
hoysed
our
ankers
,
and
went
close
to
the
towne
of
Bantam
,
and
ankered
harde
by
4.
small
Islands
,
that
lie
right
North
from
the
Towne
:
the
same
day
the
Sabandar
(
who
is
there
one
of
the
greatest
officers
next
the
King
)
came
abord
our
shippes
,
asking
vs
what
we
would
haue
,
we
said
we
were
come
to
buy
Pepper
and
other
spyces
,
and
that
wee
had
readie
money
,
and
certaine
wares
,
whereof
we
shewed
him
some
parte
,
which
hee
liked
well
,
saying
that
there
wee
might
haue
lading
enough
,
shewing
vs
great
countenance
.
The
same
day
likewise
there
came
a
great
number
of
scutes
vnto
our
ships
,
bringing
all
kinds
of
victuailes
to
sel
,
as
Hennes
,
Egges
,
Cocus
,
Bonanas
,
sugar
canes
,
Cakes
of

and
many
other

The
24.
of

there
came
many
men
aborde
our
ships
,
bringing
diuers
wares
to
sell
,
shewing
vs
great
friendshippe
,
and
as
it
seemed
were
very
glad
of
our
arriuall
there
,
telling
vs
that
there
we
might
haue
Pepper
enough
,
and
new
Pepper
within
two
Months
after
,
and
that
Pepper
was
then
as
good
cheap
as
it
had
beene
any
time
within
ten
yeares
before
,
that
wee
might
buy
5.
or
6.

for
one

(
being
about
20.

)
which
was
ordinarily
sold

to
go
on

with
the
Gouernour
,
for
as
then
there
was
no
King
,
for
about
a
Month
before
our
arriuall
there
,
the
King
was
gone
with
a
great
armie
before
the
towne
of
Palimbam
,
which
hee
thought
to
take
,
and
had
almost
gotten
it
,
but
there
he
was
striken
with
a
great
Peece
by
a
Renigado
of
the
Portingalles
,
and
so
was
slaine
.
His
death
was
much
lamented
by
the
straungers
that
dwelt
at
Bantam
,
for
he
was
a
good
king
,
being
about
25.
years
of
age
:
he
left
behind
him
foure
wiues
,
whereof
the
eldest
was
not
aboue
15.
yeares
of
age
,
and
a
yong
sonne
of
three
Monthes
olde
,
that
was
to
succeed
him
in
his
Kingdome
,
and
they
had
chosen
a
Protector
or
Gouernor
to
rule
in
his
minoritie
,
whom
they
call
Kipate
,
and
when
the
Kipate
by
the
Sabandar
sent
to
our
Sargeant
Maior
to
come
vnto
him
into
the
towne
,
he
made
him
answer
that
he
had
no
such
commission
,
but
he
desired
the
Gouernor
first
to
come
abord
his
ship
,
and
then
he
would
go
on
shore
,
he
likewise
desired
vs
to
go
neerer
to
the
towne
with
our
shippes

And
therevpon
wee
sayled
somewhat
neerer
to
the
Island
that
lay
next
vnto
the

,
within
halfe
a

we
ankered
at

fadome

grounde
,
the
towne
lying
South
from

,
where
wee
had
a
good
roade
:
The
Gouernor
of
Bantam
came
abord
their
ships
.
The
next
morning
the
Gouernor
sent
aborde
,
and
the
men
that
came
spake
not
onely
good
Portingal
,
but
other
languages
:
he
let
our
Sargeant
Maior
vnderstand
that
he
would
come
aborde
,
and
desired
that
hee
woulde
with
a
shalop
meet
him
halfe
the
way
,
which
was
done
about
noone
,
and
the
Gouernour
came
aborde
with
a
great
company
of
men
,
where
we
shewed
him
all
our
wares
,
which
liked
him
well
,
desiring
vs
to
come
on
land
,
saying
that
we
should
be
welcome
,
promising
vs
much
fauour
,
wherewith
he
returned
to
the
land
with
certaine
rich
presents
that
we
gaue
him
.
The
26.
Barent
Heijn
Factor
of
the
ship
called
the
Mauritius
,
died
very
sodainly
.
The
27.
and
28.
great
numbers
of
people
borded
our
shippes
bringing
all
sortes
of
necessaries
&
victuails
to
sell
.
The
Emperour
came
aborde
and
secretly
conspired
with
the
Portingals
against
them
.
The
29.
there
came
an
Emperour
abord
our
shippe
,
whose
father
in
time
past
had
beene
Emperour
of
all
Iaua
,
and
commanded
all
the
Kinges
of
Iaua
,
but
this
man
because
of
his
badde
life
was
not
much
accounted
of
:
he
spake
good
Portingall
,
for
his
mother
was
a
Portingall
woman
borne
in
Malacca
:
This
Emperour
had
conspired
against
vs
with
the
Portingalles
,
but
as
then
we
knew
it
not
.
The
30.
of
Iune
Cornelis
Houtman
tooke
a
boate
and
went
into
the
towne
,
and
there
spake
with
the
Gouernour
about
certaine
affaires
,
touching
a
contract
to
bee
made
with
him
.
A
contract
to
buy
&
sell
in
the
towne
.
The
first
of
Iuly
Houtman
went
again
into
the
towne
,
and
when
he
returned
he
brought
with
him
a
certaine
contract
made
&
signed
by
the
Gouernor
himself
,
who
most
willingly
consented
therevnto
,
&
saide
vnto
him
,
Go
now
and
buy
what
you
will
,
you
haue
free
liberty
;
which
done
,
the
said
Houtman
with
his
men
went
to
see
the
towne
,
apparelled
in
the
best
manner
they
coulde
,
in
veluet
,
Satin
,
and
silkes
,
with
rapiers
by
their
sides
:
The
Captaine
had
a
thing
borne
ouer
his
head
to
keep
him
from
the
Sun
,
with
a
Trumpet
before
him
,
which
certaine
times
he
caused
to
bee
sounded
:
There
the
Emperour
bad
them
to
a
banket
after
the
Indian
manner
:
From
thence
they
went
to
the
Portingalles
,
that
made
much
account
of
Houtman
,
and
made
him
a
banket
,
saying
that
they
had
seene
him
in
Lisbone
.
The
2.
of
Iuly
many
Marchants
came
abord
,
profering
vs
Pepper
verie
good
cheape
,
but
because
we
were
vnskilfull
in
the
waight
and
other
thinges
wee
tooke
respite
to
answere
them
.
The
3.
of
Iuly
the
Sabander
came
abord
,
and
he
was
our
great
friend
,
for
that
after
we
found
it
so
,
hee
tolde
vs
what
waight
the
sackes
of
Pepper
were
,
and
what
prises
they
bare
,
counselling
vs
to
buy
.
The
Emperour
ment
to
fall
vpon
the
ships
to
rob
them
.
The
7.
of
Iuly
the
Gouernour
sent
vs
a
man
secretly
by
night
willing
vs
to
looke
vnto
our selues
,
and
not
to
trust
the
Emperour
,
with
whom
all
the
Marchantes
conspired
,
and
went
to
inuade
our
ships
,
and
that
hee
ment
to
rob
vs
,
as
being
very
licentious
and
euill
minded
.
The
8.
of
Iuly
the
Emperour
sent
vnto
our
ships
,
&
offered
to
make
them
a
banket
,
bidding
all
the
Captaines
,
maisters
,
Pilots
,
Gentlemen
,
Officers
,
Trumpets
,
and
Gunners
to
come
into
the
towne
to
him
,
and
there
he
woulde
make
merrie
with
them
:
This
was
done
by
the
Portingalles
aduise
,
thereby
to
haue
all
the
chiefe
and
principall
men
out
of
our
ships
,
but
we
perceiued
their
intent
.
The
11.
of
Iuly
the
Emperour
perceyuing
that
his
deuise
would
not
take
place
,
hee
went
from
Bantam
to
Iacatra
.
The
12.
of
Iuly
wee
had
a
house
offered
vs
within
the
towne
.
The
13.
of
the
same
month
Reyner
van
hel
with
eyght
Gentlemen
went
into
the
towne
,
taking
certaine
wares
with
him
,
of
euery
thing
a
little
,
and
laid
it
in
the
house
appointed
for
the
purpose
:
there
to
keep
a
ware
house
and
to
sel
our
marchandise
,
and
presently
both
Gentlemen
and
Marchants
came
thither
to
buy
and
to
sell
vs
Pepper
.
The
15.
and
16.
many
Gentlemen
,
Marchants
,
Chinars
,
and
Arabians
came
to
our
warehouse
&
into
our
ships
,
offering
vs
Pepper
,
but
our
Factor
offered
them
too
little
a
price
.
The
25.
of
Iuly
the
Gouernour
came
againe
aborde
our
shippes
,
and
there
looked
vppon
certaine
of
our
wares
,
whereof
hee
bought
some
,
and
counselled
vs
to
buy
Pepper
:
The
hatred
of
the
Portingalles
against
them
.
About
the
same
time
the
Portingalles
made
great
sute
vnto
the
Gouernour
,
promising
him
many
guiftes
to
deny
vs
trafficke
,
and
to
constraine
vs
to
depart
from
thence
,
saying
we
were
no
marchantes
,
but
that
we
came
to
spie
the
countrie
,
for
they
said
that
they
had
seene
many
Fleminges
in
Lisbone
,
but
none
like
vs
.
Among
the
Portingalles
there
was
one
that
was
borne
in
Malacca
,
of
the
Portingalles
race
,
his
name
was
Pedro
Truide
,
a
man
well
seene
in
trauayling
,
and
one
that
had
beene
in
all
places
of
the
world
:
He
was
our
good
friend
,
&
euery
day
came
to
talke
with
our
Captaines
,
saying
,
you
do
not
well
that
you
make
no
more
haste
to
take
in
your
lading
,
you
shall
haue
no
better
cheape
wares
,
&
withall
shewed
vs
many
other
things
:
wherevpon
the
Portingalles
hated
him
,
and
not
long
after
he
was
murthered
in
his
bed
.
In
August
we
did
little
,
and
tooke
no
great
store
of
lading
in
seeking
to
haue
Pepper
better
cheape
,
which
the
Portingalles
liked
not
well
of
,
and
saide
vnto
the
Gouernour
,
that
we
desired
not
to
buy
;
which
the
Gouernour
began
to
hearken
vnto
,
for
they
offered
him
great
summes
of
money
that
hee
shoulde
not
permit
vs
traffique
,
so
that
in
the
end
hee
commaunded
that
no
man
shoulde
carrie
any
Ryce
aborde
our
shippes
,
whereby
we
were
abashed
,
and
thereupon
we
sent
vnto
the
Gouernour
for
our
money
which
hee
ought
for
the
wares
hee
had
bought
,
which
moued
him
.
The
26.
of
Iuly
hee
sent
one
of
our
Gentlemen
with
some
of
his
men
and
nine
slaues
abord
our
ships
.
The
situation
of
the
Towne
of

the
Island
of

&

with
their

,
what

,
what

are

most
desired
,
what
nations
bring
them
thither
,
or

to

them
,
together
with
their

BAntam
lyeth
in
the
Islande
of
Iaua
maior
,
about
25.
miles
to
sea
ward
within
the
Isle
,
betweene
Sumatra
and
Iaua
:
On
both
sides
of
the
Towne
there
runneth
a
Riuer
,
about
3.
foot
and
a
half
deep
,
so
tha●
no
shippes
can
enter
into
them
:
The
Towne
is
compassed
about
with
a
Riuer
:
The
towne
is
almost
as
great
in
compasse
as
the
old
towne
of
Amsterdam
:
The
wals
are
made
with
flankers
:
They
haue
great
numbers
of
Peeces
therein
,
but
they
knowe
not
how
to
vse
them
,
for
they
feare
them
much
:
all
their
Peeces
are
of
brasse
,
&
they
haue
many
brazen
bases
.
Their
walles
are
not
aboue
two
foote
thicke
made
of
brickes
:
euery
flanker
hath
diuers
mastes
and
peeces
of
wood
,
which
they
vse
when
they
are
besieged
by
their
enemies
.
The
houses
are
made
of
straw
and
reedes
,
standing
vpon
4.
woodden
postes
.
The
rich
haue
their
chambers
all
hanged
with
silken
Curtins
,
or
els
with
cotton
linnen
:
Their
houses
are
most
placed
vnder
Cocus
trees
,
whereof
the
towne
is
full
:
Without
the
walles
are
many
houses
,
wherein
strangers
for
the
most
part
haue
their
dwellinges
.
The
towne
hath
three
great
market
places
,
wherein
dayly
there
is
markets
holden
,
where
you
may
buy
all
kindes
of
wares
,
and
where
there
commeth
a
great
number
of
people
,
very
strange
to
beholde
:
Within
the
towne
there
is
a
great
church
or
muske
of
wood
,
wherein
they
obserue
the
law
of
Mahomet
:
Gentlemen
&
men
of
any
qualitie
haue
their
owne
muskes
in
their
houses
.
The
towne
is
not
built
with
streetes
,
nor
the
houses
placed
in
order
,
but
very
foule
lying
full
of
filthy
water
,
which
men
must
passe
through
,
or
leape
ouer
,
for
they
haue
no
bridges
:
In
the
towne
there
is
great
resort
of
diuers
Countries
and
nations
,
as
of
Malacca
,
Bengala
,
Malabar
Guihereters
of
Pegu
,
Sani
Malicas
,
Banda
,
China
,
and
of
many
Kingdomes
that
haue
great
traffique
for
Pepper
,
that
groweth
rounde
about
Bantam
,
which
in
August
and
September
is
ripe
,
there
you
haue
Nutmegs
,
out
of
the
Island
of
Banda
,
and
Cloues
from
Moluca
,
which
the
Portingalles
doe
most
buy
vp
:
Wee
bought
Nutmegs
there
for
a
blank
a

:
All
victuailes
and
necessaries
are
there
in
great
aboundance
to
be
had
,
as
Hennes
,
Hartes
,
Fish

;
but

Ryce
:
Beefe
is

the

victuaile
,
for

is

8.

Rialles

The

Pepper
which

Without

and
there
they

made
of
reedes
,
onely
that
in
euery
house
they
haue
a
square
place
made
of
stone
,
wherein
they
put
their
wares
to
keepe
them
from
burning
,
as
some
riche
men
in
the
towne
likewise
haue
:
The
Chinars
are
very
subtill
and
industrious
people
,
and
will
refuse
no
labour
nor
paynes
to
yearne
money
,
there
they
make
much
Aqua
vitae
of
Ryce
and
Cocus
,
and
trafficke
much
therewith
,
which
the
Iauars
by
night
come
to
buy
,
and
drinke
it
secretly
,
for
by
Mahomets
law
it
is
forbidden
them
.
The
Chinars
liue
there
with
free
libertie
:
When
they
come
to
remaine
there
for
a
yeare
or
more
as
they
thinke
good
,
they
buy
themselues
a
wife
or
two
,
or
more
as
they
thinke
good
,
and
liue
together
like
man
and
wife
,
and
when
they
meane
to
depart
,
they
sell
their
wiues
again
,
but
if
they
haue
children
they
take
them
with
them
,
&
so
returne
to
China
:
They
haue
no
special
religion
,
but
pray
vnto
the
Deuill
,
that
he
would
not
hurt
them
,
for
they
know
that
the
Deuill
is
wicked
,
and
that
God
is
good
,
and
hurteth
no
man
,
therefore
they
thinke
it
needlesse
to
pray
to
God
.
They
acknowledge
not
the
resurrection
of
the
deade
,
but
when
a
man
dyeth
they
thinke
he
neuer
riseth
again
:
In
their
houses
they
haue
great
painted
Deuils
,
before
the
which
they
place
wax
candles
,
and
sing
vnto
them
,
praying
them
not
to
hurt
them
,
and
the
more
monstrous
that
their
shapes
be
,
the
more
they
honour
them
.
These
people
liue
very
hardly
and
poorely
within
Bantam
,
for
there
is
not
any
work
or
labour
how
filthy
soeuer
it
be
,
but
they
will
do
it
to
get
money
,
and
when
they
haue
gotten
something
they
returne
again
to
China
.
They
are
verie
like
Iewes
in
our
countrey
,
for
they
neuer
goe
without
a
paire
of
ballances
,
and
all
thinges
is
good
wares
with
them
,
and
are
ready
to
do
any
seruice
.
When
we
came
first
before
Bantam
,
they
came
euery
day
in
great
companies
into
our
shippes
,
and
there
set
out
their
wares
to
sel
,
as
silkes
,
sowing
silkes
,
and
porselines
,
so
that
our
vpper
deckes
were
full
of
pedlers
,
that
wee
could
hardly
walke
vpon
the
hatches
.
The
manner
,
condition
,
custome
,
going
,
standing
,
apparell
,
housekeeping
,
wares
,
and
behauiour
of
the
Iauars
in
Bantam
.
THe
Iauars
and
inhabitants
of
Bantam
,
are
proude
and
obstinate
,
with
a
very
stately
pace
,
they
hold
the
law
of
Mahomet
,
which
they
haue
not
had
aboue
35.
yeares
,
for
as
yet
there
are
many
heathens
among
them
that
neuer
were
made
Mores
:
it
is
a
very
lying
and
theeuish
kind
of
people
,
not
in
any
sort
to
bee
trusted
.
Their
apparell
both
of
rich
and
poore
is
a
cotton
cloth
,
and
some
of
silke
about
their
middles
,
which
they
tie
about
them
with
a
girdle
,
the
vpper
parte
and
from
the
knees
downewarde
all
naked
:
most
of
them
goe
bareheaded
,
but
the
principallest
of
them
haue
a
wreath
or
Turkish
roule
about
their
heades
,
and
some
little
cappes
:
Their
priestes
come
out
of
Meca
in
Arabia
,
and
are
yellowe
of
colour
:
What
weapons
they
weare
.
Their
weapon
is
a
poinyard
,
which
they
call
Crisis
:
it
is
made
with
hilts
,
&
the
handle
is
a
Deuil
cut
out
of
wood
or
bone
:
the
sheathes
are
of
wood
:
with
them
they
are
very
bolde
,
and
it
is
accounted
for
a
great
shame
with
them
if
they
haue
not
such
a
Dagger
,
both
yong
,
old
,
rich
&
poore
,
and
yong
children
of
fiue
or
sixe
yeares
olde
,
and
when
they
go
to
the
warres
they
haue
targets
,
and
some
long
speares
,
but
most
of
them
such
poinyardes
:
They
vse
neyther
great
shotte
nor
caliuers
when
they
go
against
their
enemies
:
for
a
small
matter
one
King
wil
make
warre
against
another
When
we
came
first
before
Bantam
,
we
offered
to
make
a
contract
with
the
Gouernor
and
the
counsell
of
the
towne
,
that
they
should
deliuer
vs
a
certaine
quantitie
of
Pepper
,
and
wee
woulde
goe
with
our
shippes
before
Palimbam
,
and
helpe
them
to
reuenge
the
death
of
their
Kings
vppon
their
enemies
,
for
(
as
they
said
)
we
might
goe
within
a
bowe
shot
of
the
towne
with
our
shippes
,
and
the
Towne
is
but
of
wood
without
walles
,
so
that
we
would
presently
haue
beaten
it
downe
to
the
ground
.
They
offered
vs
some
of
their
principall
Gouernours
to
be
left
for
pledges
in
our
shippes
,
and
their
men
woulde
sayle
in
their
fustes
,
such
as
shoulde
go
on
land
,
and
we
should
doe
nothing
els
but
shoote
out
of
our
shippes
,
but
our
Captaines
would
not
do
it
,
considering
our
small
number
of
men
.
How
many
wiues
they
haue
.
The
Iauers
take
as
many
wiues
as
they
will
,
and
are
able
to
maintaine
;
but
the
common
people
haue
but
one
,
&
some
two
marryed
wiues
,
and
some
10.
20.
&
30.
concubines
:
For
a
small
matter
they
will
sende
their
married
wiues
home
agayne
vnto
their
fathers
,
when
they
haue
layne
fiue
or
sixe
dayes
with
them
,
saying
they
like
them
not
,
and
so
their
marriage
is
vndone
,
when
they
desire
it
.
The
manner
,
custome
,
housholding
,
childbearing
,
sporting
&
cleanlinesse
of
the
women
in
Bantam
.
THe
women
of
the
towne
are
well
kept
from
such
as
are
circumcised
,
whereof
the
rich
men
haue
many
,
and
from
other
men
or
their
friendes
,
for
their
owne
sonnes
may
not
come
into
the
house
where
the
women
are
.
They
lie
all
naked
and
chaw
Betelle
,
and
haue
a
slauish
woman
that
continually
scratcheth
their
bodies
,
that
is
,
such
as
are
married
women
,
but
such
as
are
concubines
are
as
waiting
Gentlewomen
to
the
married
women
,
when
they
goe
out
to
giue
them
more
maiestie
,
and
those
that
haue
the
greatest
number
are
of
most
estimation
:
The
Concubines
haue
but
fewe
children
,
for
the
married
women
poyson
their
children
,
and
these
concubines
are
bought
and
solde
:
by
their
apparell
a
man
can
hardly
discerne
the
riche
from
the
poore
,
for
they
goe
all
with
a
Cotton
cloth
about
their
bodies
vp
to
their
breastes
,
and
bounde
about
their
middles
with
an
other
cloth
,
bare
footed
and
their
heads
vncouered
,
their
hayre
bound
right
vpon
the
top
of
their
heads
in
a
heape
,
but
when
they
are
in
their
pride
,
they
weare
crownes
vpon
their
heads
,
whereof
some
of
them
are
of
pure
golde
,
&
ringes
of
golde
,
&
some
of
siluer
about
their
armes
,
euery
one
according
to
their
abilitie
.
They
are
very
curious
about
their
bodyes
,
for
they
washe
themselues
at
the
least
fiue
or
sixe
times
euery
day
:
they
neuer
ease
themselues
nor
haue
the
company
of
their
husbandes
,
but
they
presently
leape
into
the
water
and
wash
their
bodies
,
and
therefore
the
water
that
runneth
through
Bantam
is
very
vnholesome
;
for
euery
one
washeth
themselues
in
it
,
as
well
pockie
as
other
people
,
whereby
wee
lost
some
of
our
men
that
drunke
of
the
water
:
The
women
are
verie
idle
,
for
they
do
nothing
all
the
day
but
lie
downe
;
the
poore
slaues
must
doe
all
the
drudgerie
,
and
the
men
sit
all
day
vpon
a
mat
,
&
chaw
Betele
,
hauing
ten
or
twentie
women
about
them
,
and
when
they
make
water
,
presently
one
of
the
women
washeth
their
member
,
and
so
they
sit
playing
all
the
day
with
their
women
:
Many
of
them
haue
slaues
that
play
vppon
instrumentes
much
like
our
Shakebois
,
they
haue
likewise
great
basons
whereon
they
strike
,
&
therewith
know
how
to
make
good
musicke
,
whereat
the
women
daunce
,
not
leaping
much
,
but
winding
and
drawing
their
bodies
,
armes
and
shoulders
,
which
they
vse
all
night
long
,
so
that
in
the
night
time
they
make
a
great
noyse
with
basons
and
other
instruments
,
and
the
man
he
sitteth
and
looketh
vpon
them
,
euerie
one
of
the
women
striuing
to
doe
her
best
that
she
may
get
her
husbands
fauour
and
her
secreat
pleasure
.
The
Gentlemen
,
Citizens
,
and
marchantes
haue
their
Gardens
,
and
fieldes
without
the
towne
,
and
slaues
for
the
purpose
to
labour
in
them
,
and
bring
their
maisters
all
kindes
of
fruit
,
Rice
and
Hennes
in
the
towne
,
How
Pepper
groweth
in
that
countrey
.
as
also
the
Pepper
that
groweth
there
,
which
runneth
vp
by
an
other
tree
,
as
Hoppes
with
vs
,
and
groweth
in
long
bunches
like
Grapes
,
so
that
there
is
at
the
least
200.
graines
in
one
bunch
:
it
is
first
greene
,
and
after
it
becommeth
blacke
,
and
is
there
in
great
aboundance
,
so
that
it
is
the
right
Pepper
countrey
;
for
when
we
came
thither
they
said
vnto
vs
,
Aqui
ai
tanta
Pimienta
,
como
terra
,
that
is
,
here
is
as
much
Pepper
as
earth
,
and
so
we
found
it
,
and
yet
we
departed
from
thence
by
our
own
follies
,
without
our
lading
of
Pepper
:
Wee
staide
for
new
Pepper
,
meane
time
the
Portingalles
sent
their
letters
into
euery
place
seeking
to
hinder
our
trade
:
At
the
first
we
might
haue
sufficient
,
for
there
we
founde
enough
both
to
buy
for
money
or
to
barter
.
We
likewise
had
money
and
wares
sufficient
:
we
might
easily
haue
had
sixe
or
eight
hundred
tunnes
,
as
we
were
aduertised
by
some
of
the
countrey
,
that
we
should
presently
buy
,
for
that
the
Portingalles
sought
all
the
means
they
could
to
hinder
vs
,
as
after
it
appeared
;
and
therefore
he
that
thinketh
to
come
soone
enough
,
commeth
oftentimes
too
late
,
and
we
vsed
not
our
time
so
well
as
it
fell
out
.
A
letter
sent
by
our
men
in
the
town
that
were
kept
prisoners
.
The
29.
of
August
we
had
a
letter
sent
vs
by
night
from
our
men
that
were
in
the
towne
,
that
lay
in
a
maner
as
prisoners
,
to
will
vs
to
let
our
pledge
go
a
shore
,
otherwise
they
feared
they
shoulde
hardly
escape
with
their
liues
,
and
great
danger
might
fall
vpon
them
:
this
pledge
came
aborde
with
the
9.
slaues
.
The
30.
of
August
we
sent
the
pledge
and
the
rest
of
our
Iauers
to
land
,
with
promise
that
he
would
do
the
best
he
might
to
get
our
men
leaue
to
come
aborde
:
about
euening
of
the
same
day
wee
had
newes
from
our
men
by
foure
of
our
saylers
that
as
then
they
were
better
vsed
,
saying
they
thought
they
should
come
aborde
when
two
shippes
were
gone
that
ment
to
saile
for
Malacca
,
being
laden
with
Nutmegs
and
other
things
.
The
first
of
of
September
,
and
the
2.
3.
and
4.
wee
sent
many
letters
to
the
Gouernour
and
hee
to
vs
,
and
likewise
to
our
men
that
were
in
the
towne
,
being
nine
in
number
,
all
our
best
marchants
and
captains
,
hauing
with
them
about
6.
or
7000.
Guildernes
in
marchandise
,
and
they
againe
to
vs
.
They
went
nearer
to
the
towne
.
The
5.
of
September
when
wee
perceyued
that
delayes
were
daungerous
,
wee
went
close
to
the
towne
with
all
our
4.
shippes
,
and
so
neere
that
we
had
but
two
fadome
muddie
grounde
,
and
presently
with
two
of
our
boates
for
our
securitie
wee
set
vppon
three
Iauan
shippes
,
whereof
two
were
laden
with
fish
and
Cocus
,
wherein
wee
founde
a
man
of
China
,
being
of
some
account
.
The
third
ship
was
laden
with
20.
tunnes
of
Cloues
,
6.
tunnes
of
Pepper
,
and
some
Benioni
,
and
Piementa
da
Rauo
,
wherein
we
founde
fiue
Malabardes
slaues
to
the
Portingalles
,
whom
wee
likewise
tooke
,
&
they
were
very
willing
to
goe
with
vs
,
thereby
to
bee
eased
of
the
slauery
wherevnto
the
Portingals
put
them
,
and
perceyuing
that
the
Portingalles
went
often
to
and
from
another
shippe
that
lay
not
farre
from
vs
,
we
took
our
Pinace
and
made
towardes
it
,
and
being
harde
by
it
,
the
Portingals
left
it
&
set
it
on
fire
:
This
ship
had
the
richest
wares
in
it
as
the
Portingalles
slaues
tolde
vs
,
for
it
was
laden
with
fiftie
tunnes
of
Cloues
,
which
were
burnt
in
it
.
The
sixt
and
seuenth
of
September
we
hearde
no
newes
,
so
that
wee
went
close
to
the
Towne
agayne
,
shooting
with
our
great
Peeces
into
it
,
slaying
diuers
of
the
people
(
as
after
we
were
informed
:
)
They
likewise
shot
with
their
Peeces
agaynst
vs
,
which
the
Portingalles
did
,
for
that
the
Iauars
haue
little
or
no
skill
at
all
therein
,
and
are
very
fearefull
of
them
,
and
although
they
had
many
peeces
in
the
towne
,
yet
they
did
vs
no
other
hurt
then
onely
shot
one
of
Molenares
halfe
masts
in
peeces
.
A
skirmish
betweene
the
Pinace
&
24.
boats
The
seuenth
of
September
wee
had
a
skirmish
,
which
was
in
this
manner
,
we
perceyuing
a
Iauan
ship
vnder
sayle
,
sent
our
Pinace
with
sixe
and
twentie
men
in
her
to
fetch
it
in
,
which
the
Iauan
shippe
perceyuing
fledde
behinde
an
Islande
,
where
our
Pinace
followed
him
so
fast
that
shee
fell
a
grounde
,
which
the
townes
men
perceyuing
,
made
them
readie
with
foure
and
twentie
boates
full
of
men
,
all
armed
after
their
manner
,
and
set
forwarde
in
good
order
,
being
diuided
in
two
companies
,
seuen
on
starre
bord
,
&
17.
on
lardde
bord
of
the
Pinace
,
in
order
like
a
halfe
Moone
,
threatning
vs
with
their
speares
,
they
thought
by
reason
of
their
great
number
of
men
,
that
they
had
already
taken
it
,
but
it
fell
out
otherwise
,
for
they
in
the
Pinace
perceyuing
them
comming
,
shotte
among
them
,
and
they
were
so
near
vnto
her
that
we
could
not
shoot
at
them
:
and
when
they
were
harde
by
the
Pinace
,
shee
gotte
a
flote
,
as
they
thought
to
take
her
,
hauing
cast
out
an
anker
in
good
time
,
and
thereby
wounde
themselues
off
the
grounde
,
but
for
haste
they
were
forced
to
cutte
their
Cable
,
because
they
had
not
time
enough
to
winde
it
vppe
,
and
with
all
they
shotte
one
of
their
boates
vnder
water
.
The
Pinace
drawing
her
boate
after
her
,
the
Iauans
presently
leapt
into
it
,
and
cutte
a
sunder
the
roape
that
helde
it
,
which
they
immediately
stole
from
vs
,
thrusting
with
their
Speares
in
at
the
loope
holes
.
Seuen
of
their
Boates
being
round
about
vs
were
so
sharpely
paid
with
the
iron
peeces
,
stone
peeces
,
and
Caliuers
,
that
the
17
,
others
durst
not
come
so
neere
vs
:
I
thinke
there
were
at
the
least
100.
of
them
that
neuer
carryed
newes
how
they
sped
in
that
skirmish
,
for
euery
boate
had
at
the
least
60.
men
in
it
,
and
they
were
so
thicke
in
them
,
that
they
could
not
help
themselues
,
nor
did
any
thing
els
but
shake
their
speares
,
and
they
shot
but
one
base
:
their
arrowes
hurt
vs
not
,
and
so
the
Pinace
returned
againe
vnto
our
shippes
,
sayling
close
before
the
towne
,
and
shooting
into
it
with
her
ordinance
:
They
shot
out
of
the
towne
,
but
it
hit
her
not
,
because
they
shot
with
stone
pellets
,
wherewith
you
cannot
shoote
so
certainly
as
with
iron
bullets
.
The
8.
9.
and
10.
of
September
we
had
letters
from
our
men
out
of
Bantam
,
by
the
which
they
willed
vs
not
to
shoot
any
more
,
for
that
the
Gouernour
threatned
to
set
them
vpon
stakes
:
Houtman
wrote
they
were
in
good
hope
that
they
shoulde
bee
put
to
raunsome
,
which
wee
counselled
them
to
doe
as
well
as
they
might
.
The
contents
of
the
Gouernors
letter
.
The
11.
of
September
we
had
a
letter
from
Houtman
,
and
one
from
the
Gouernour
,
wherein
hee
wrote
that
he
would
set
our
men
at
libertie
,
so
we
would
be
quiet
,
but
if
we
desired
warre
,
he
woulde
once
againe
come
and
visite
vs
in
another
sort
:
wee
aunswered
him
that
there
he
should
find
vs
,
that
wordes
were
but
wind
,
&
that
he
should
set
our
men
at
a
reasonable
ransome
,
and
thereof
send
vs
an
answere
the
next
day
.
The
12.
and
13.
of
September
wee
had
no
answere
out
of
the
towne
,
and
we
had
want
of
water
,
and
could
get
none
thereabouts
but
that
which
came
out
of
the
towne
,
for
that
the
Gouernour
had
taken
order
that
we
should
get
no
water
about
the
towne
,
so
that
we
hoised
ankers
to
go
seeke
some
.
The
17.
of
September
we
came
before
3.
or
4.
Islands
which
Molenare
and
Shellenger
sayled
betweene
,
and
for
that
the
streame
ranne
so
strong
there
,
they
were
forced
to
goe
so
nigh
the
shore
,
that
they
might
almost
leape
on
lande
,
whereby
they
escaped
great
danger
,
but
the
other
shippe
and
the
Pinace
sayled
about
the
Islands
,
and
so
met
with
the
other
two
,
and
casting
forth
their
ankers
went
on
shore
,
where
wee
spake
with
men
that
saide
they
would
shew
vs
where
wee
shoulde
haue
water
,
so
we
would
giue
them
two
Caliuers
.
The
18.
19.
20.
23.
and
24.
we
stayed
to
lade
water
,
for
it
was
hard
to
get
,
and
we
were
forced
to
keep
good
watch
,
which
done
hoysing
ankers
againe
,
wee
sayled
towardes
Bantam
,
holding
our
course
Eastwarde
.
The
27.
we
sayled
Northeast
towardes
the
lande
of
Iaua
maior
.
The
28.
setting
sayle
agayne
,
we
kept
East
Northeast
along
by
the
coast
of
Iaua
,
&
about
noone
because
of
the
great
streame
that
runneth
in
the
straight
,
wee
were
forced
to
anker
,
and
the
30.
day
wee
set
sayle
againe
.
The
first
of
October
in
the
euening
wee
came
to
a
great
Islande
,
being
three
miles
from
the
towne
,
and
there
we
ankered
finding
good
clay
ground
.
The
2.
of
October
wee
had
a
letter
from
our
men
,
how
they
were
seperated
one
from
the
other
,
and
kept
by
the
Gentlemen
of
the
towne
,
and
their
wares
parted
among
them
.
The
3.
4.
and
5.
when
wee
were
againe
before
the
towne
,
we
had
other
letters
,
that
by
our
comming
they
were
better
vsed
,
and
hoped
to
bee
set
at
a
reasonable
ransome
,
and
that
they
promised
that
one
of
our
men
should
come
aborde
,
so
he
would
returne
againe
into
towne
,
that
shoulde
by
worde
of
mouth
certifie
vs
what
hope
they
were
in
,
and
the
cause
thereof
,
that
we
might
the
better
belieue
it
.
How
the
Iaurs
vsed
our
men
being
prisoners
.
The
6.
of
October
in
the
night
one
of
our
men
came
aborde
,
and
shewed
vs
what
had
past
,
when
we
shotte
into
the
towne
,
how
they
were
seperated
and
kept
close
prisoners
,
and
cruelly
threatned
by
the
Iauers
,
whereby
they
still
expected
when
they
should
bee
put
to
death
,
and
howe
they
sought
all
the
meanes
they
coulde
to
make
them
to
deny
their
faith
,
and
become
Mores
,
but
they
remayned
constant
,
and
saide
they
woulde
rather
die
,
and
that
they
had
by
force
shauen
three
of
our
men
after
the
Morish
manner
,
and
how
the
Portingals
had
sought
all
the
meanes
they
coulde
to
buy
them
for
slaues
,
offering
money
for
them
that
they
might
sende
them
to
Malacca
,
how
they
were
set
at
libertie
againe
,
&
might
goe
where
they
woulde
within
the
towne
,
and
so
they
hoped
all
would
be
well
,
and
that
they
shoulde
bee
set
at
libertie
for
some
small
ransome
,
and
that
the
Gouernour
asked
them
3000.
Rialles
of
8.
but
they
hoped
to
bring
him
to
2000.
whereat
we
much
reioyced
.
The
8.
9.
and
10.
of
October
we
passed
ouer
to
make
some
agreement
with
them
that
we
might
be
quiet
.
The
11.
of
October
they
agreede
vppon
a
ransome
of
2000.
Ryalles
of
eyght
,
and
were
content
,
that
what
goodes
soeuer
we
had
taken
from
them
,
wee
shoulde
keepe
as
our
owne
,
and
for
our
goodes
that
they
had
stolen
,
and
forcibly
taken
from
our
men
within
the
towne
,
The
maner
of
their
ransome
.
they
would
keepe
them
,
and
so
exchange
one
for
the
other
,
they
likewise
were
content
to
quit
vs
of
all
our
debts
,
that
we
ought
within
the
towne
eyther
to
the
Gouernor
or
to
any
other
man
,
and
that
from
thence
forwarde
we
should
be
free
,
and
traffique
in
the
towne
,
both
to
buy
and
sell
when
it
pleased
vs
,
&
with
their
good
willes
as
we
had
done
,
and
before
we
paide
our
money
,
the
towne
was
to
sende
two
men
aborde
our
ships
,
which
done
,
we
were
to
pay
the
halfe
of
our
ransome
,
and
vpon
the
payment
thereof
,
they
shoulde
set
halfe
of
our
men
at
liberty
,
and
that
halfe
of
our
men
being
come
aborde
,
wee
were
to
pay
the
other
halfe
of
our
ransome
,
which
was
1000.
Ryalles
of
eyght
;
which
being
performed
,
their
two
men
,
and
their
other
halfe
of
our
men
were
on
both
sides
to
bee
deliuered
and
sette
free
,
and
without
contradiction
it
was
performed
.
The
12.
and
13.
this
agreement
being
ended
,
diuers
victuailers
came
aborde
our
shippes
to
sell
vs
Hennes
,
Egges
,
and
all
other
kind
of
victuailes
.
The
14.
we
gaue
certaine
presentes
in
signe
of
good
will
,
to
such
as
had
shewed
vs
fauour
when
we
were
in
contention
with
them
.
The
15.
16.
17.
and
18.
some
of
our
Factors
went
into
the
towne
,
where
they
bought
certaine
Pepper
,
&
brought
it
abord
our
ships
.
The
19.
they
went
again
into
the
towne
,
&
bought
a
greater
quantitie
at
5.
sackes
for
one
Catti
,
minding
in
that
sorte
euery
day
to
take
in
our
lading
,
but
it
fell
not
out
as
wee
desired
,
for
the
Portingalles
that
coulde
not
brooke
our
company
,
made
such
means
to
the
Gouernour
,
that
he
gaue
commandement
that
we
should
buy
no
more
Pepper
,
before
we
had
paide
1400.
Rialles
of
8.
which
he
challenged
of
vs
because
we
had
cast
anker
within
his
streame
,
whereupon
our
Marchantes
went
and
agreed
with
him
,
which
done
wee
thinking
to
buy
Pepper
as
we
did
before
,
Why
the
Gouernor
forbad
vs
trafficke
.
the
Gouernour
againe
commanded
to
the
contrarie
,
whereby
we
perceyued
their
deceipt
,
in
that
he
wold
not
hold
his
word
.
The
country
men
would
gladly
haue
solde
their
Pepper
,
as
also
the
Chinars
,
Arabians
,
Mahometitians
,
and
secretly
some
Portingalles
,
but
when
we
saw
wee
could
not
get
it
out
but
with
great
daunger
,
wee
thought
it
not
conuenient
to
buy
:
and
when
we
spake
vnto
the
Gouernour
,
touching
the
holding
of
his
worde
,
he
made
vs
answere
,
that
he
had
no
bones
in
his
tongue
,
and
that
therefore
he
could
speake
that
which
he
ment
not
to
doe
:
and
to
say
the
truth
most
part
of
the
Iauars
are
a
kind
of
deceitfull
people
,
for
whatsoeuer
they
say
and
presently
performe
,
that
shall
you
be
sure
of
and
no
more
.
The
25.
of
October
there
came
an
Ambassador
into
Bantam
,
sent
from
Malacca
to
the
Gouernor
with
a
present
of
10000.
Rials
of
8.
desiring
him
to
forbid
vs
both
his
towne
and
streame
,
that
wee
might
not
traffique
there
.
Whereof
wee
were
aduertised
by
the
Sabandar
and
other
of
our
friendes
counselling
our
men
to
get
them
out
of
the
towne
,
and
not
to
returne
again
,
otherwise
they
would
be
in
daunger
to
be
stayed
againe
,
and
we
hauing
sent
a
man
into
the
towne
to
saue
him
from
being
holden
prisoner
,
our
host
where
we
lay
being
on
shore
was
forced
to
bring
him
out
couered
with
certaine
mattes
;
so
that
vppon
the
26.
of
the
same
month
all
our
trafficke
and
friendship
with
them
ceased
:
but
our
hoast
being
our
friende
,
came
secretly
aborde
our
ships
,
and
shewed
vs
that
he
and
his
company
had
two
ships
lying
before
the
towne
,
laden
with
Nutmegges
and
Mace
that
came
from
Banda
,
for
the
which
hee
agreed
with
vs
at
a
price
,
vpon
condition
that
we
should
seeme
to
take
them
by
force
,
that
thereby
he
might
colour
his
dealing
with
vs
:
wherevpon
the
first
of
Nouember
we
sailed
close
to
the
towne
with
all
our
ships
,
How
they
tooke
two
Iauan
ships
and
set
vpon
the
two
Iauan
shippes
,
wherein
we
found
to
the
number
of
30.
slaues
,
that
knew
nothing
of
their
maisters
bargaine
made
with
vs
,
so
that
they
began
to
resist
vs
,
wherewith
we
shot
among
them
,
and
presently
slew
4.
or
5.
of
them
,
the
rest
leapt
ouer
borde
,
and
swamme
to
land
,
which
done
we
tooke
the
two
ships
,
and
put
their
lading
into
ours
:
They
fought
with
a
Portingall
shippe
.
The
Portingalles
shippe
that
brought
their
Ambassadour
,
lay
close
vnder
the
shore
,
wherevnto
we
sent
two
of
our
boats
,
but
the
Portingals
that
were
in
her
shot
so
thicke
with
their
peeces
vppon
our
men
,
that
our
boates
were
forced
to
leaue
them
with
losse
of
one
of
our
men
,
but
our
shippes
shot
in
such
sorte
with
their
ordinance
vppon
the
Portingall
shippe
,
that
they
spoyled
and
brake
it
in
peeces
,
wherein
their
Captaine
was
slaine
,
and
the
victuailers
that
stil
brought
vs
victuailes
to
sell
,
tolde
vs
that
with
our
peeces
we
had
slain
three
or
foure
men
within
the
towne
,
&
that
the
townes
men
began
to
make
an
armie
of
ships
to
set
vpon
vs
.
They
fought
with
a
Iauan
shippe
.
The
2.
of
Nouember
we
espyed
a
shippe
that
came
toward
Bantam
,
which
we
ioyned
vnto
with
our
boats
,
and
being
neere
vnto
it
,
they
spread
their
fights
,
which
were
of
thicke
mattes
,
and
began
to
defend
themselues
;
our
men
shot
among
them
with
stone
peeces
and
Caliuers
,
and
they
defended
themselues
with
great
courage
,
hauing
halfe
pikes
wherewith
they
thrust
at
vs
,
&
that
serued
likewise
to
blow
arrowes
out
of
them
,
for
they
were
like
trunkes
,
out
of
the
which
trunkes
they
shot
so
great
numbers
of
arrowes
,
that
they
fell
as
thick
as
hayle
,
and
shotte
so
certainely
,
that
therewith
they
hurt
at
the
least
eyght
or
nine
of
our
men
,
but
the
arrowes
are
thinne
and
light
,
so
that
their
blaste
coulde
not
make
them
enter
into
the
flesh
aboue
the
thicknes
of
two
fingers
,
onely
the
head
of
the
arrowe
(
which
is
made
of
reede
,
and
loose
stayeth
in
the
flesh
)
when
we
shot
with
our
Caliuers
they
runne
behind
their
fightes
,
but
when
they
perceiued
that
their
matted
fights
could
not
defende
them
,
and
that
they
were
killed
through
them
,
they
entered
into
their
boate
,
and
by
strength
of
oares
rowed
from
vs
,
leauing
their
shippe
,
wherein
we
founde
two
dead
men
,
and
we
slew
three
more
of
them
as
we
rowed
after
their
boat
,
so
that
in
all
they
lost
fiue
men
,
as
we
after
heard
,
and
that
they
were
to
the
number
of
40.
which
done
,
wee
brought
their
shippe
to
ours
,
wherein
we
found
good
store
of
Ryce
and
dryed
fish
.
The
6.
of
Nouember
,
perceyuing
not
any
hope
of
more
trafficke
for
vs
with
those
of
Bantam
,
wee
hoised
anker
and
set
sayle
,
setting
our
course
towardes
the
straight
of
Sunda
.
The
marchants
follow
them
with
wares
.
The
seuenth
of
Nouember
wee
came
and
ankered
before
a
Riuer
of
freshe
water
,
about
sixe
miles
from
Bantam
,
where
wee
tooke
in
our
prouision
of
water
:
thither
certaine
Merchants
followed
vs
with
Porseline
,
telling
vs
that
they
were
sory
for
our
departure
,
&
that
they
longed
for
our
returne
againe
.
The
thirteenth
of
Nouember
wee
set
sayle
,
and
about
euening
wee
came
before
Iacatra
,
in
time
past
called
Sunda
Calapa
,
which
hath
beene
a
rich
Towne
of
marchandise
,
but
vppon
some
occasions
,
and
by
reason
of
their
hard
vsage
the
Marchants
had
withdrawen
themselues
from
thence
,
therefore
at
this
present
there
is
little
or
nothing
to
doe
.
Iohn
Hughen
in
his
booke
saith
this
to
be
the
principal
towne
of
trafficke
,
but
that
is
long
sithence
,
for
now
there
is
not
any
trade
of
marchandise
.
The
fourteenth
of
Nouember
wee
sent
two
of
our
men
into
the
towne
,
hauing
some
of
theirs
in
pawne
,
who
tolde
vs
that
many
of
the
inhabitantes
were
gone
out
of
the
towne
with
all
their
goodes
,
being
in
great
feare
of
our
peeces
,
and
there
wee
had
great
store
of
victuailes
,
and
much
more
then
wee
required
brought
abord
our
ships
.
The
18.
wee
set
saile
from
Iacatra
,
and
being
about
two
miles
from
the
towne
,
our
shippe
called
Amsterdam
fell
vppon
a
cliffe
,
but
it
got
off
againe
without
any
hurt
,
and
therewith
wee
presently
made
towardes
the
straight
.
The
2.
of
December
we
passed
by
3.
townes
which
we
might
easily
perceiue
,
we
likewise
passed
by
Tubam
,
and
ankered
vnder
Sidaya
.
The
3.
of
December
there
came
men
out
of
the
towne
,
&
desired
vs
to
stay
,
saying
that
there
we
might
haue
Cloues
&
Nutmegs
as
many
as
we
woulde
,
bringing
certaine
banketting
stuffe
(
as
a
present
from
their
King
)
vnto
Sche●lengers
ship
,
because
it
lay
nearest
to
the
land
,
and
they
came
most
abord
it
.
The
4.
of
December
they
came
again
into
Schellengers
ship
,
bringing
certaine
presentes
with
them
,
and
among
the
rest
a
certayne
birde
that
coulde
swallowe
fyer
,
which
is
a
very
strange
fowle
,
and
was
brought
aliue
to
Amsterdam
,
which
after
was
giuen
to
the
states
of
Hollande
lying
in
the
Hage
,
and
some
good
fruites
,
willing
vs
to
sende
a
man
on
shore
to
see
their
spices
,
whereof
they
said
they
had
great
store
:
wherevpon
we
sent
a
man
out
of
the
Amsterdam
,
and
with
him
an
interpreter
,
one
of
the
Portingalles
slaues
,
they
leauing
three
or
foure
of
their
men
aborde
our
shippes
,
for
pawnes
till
his
returne
:
when
our
man
came
to
lande
hee
was
well
vsed
,
and
there
they
shewed
him
fortie
or
fiftie
bals
of
Cloues
;
which
done
they
brought
him
before
the
King
,
that
promised
him
great
fauor
,
and
told
him
that
the
next
day
he
wold
himselfe
come
aborde
our
ships
,
and
deale
with
our
Captaines
,
and
with
that
he
let
our
man
depart
.
The
5.
of
December
we
expected
the
Kinges
comming
aborde
,
putting
out
all
our
flagges
and
streamers
,
and
about
noone
there
came
8.
or
9.
indifferent
great
shippes
full
of
men
from
off
the
shore
,
wherein
wee
thought
the
King
to
bee
,
but
when
they
were
almost
at
vs
they
diuided
themselues
,
three
of
them
rowing
to
Shellengers
ship
,
and
when
they
borded
him
,
they
thinking
the
King
had
been
there
,
Reymer
van
Hel
as
Factor
and
the
Maister
came
forth
to
receyue
him
,
but
the
Iauers
entering
all
at
once
,
Reymer
van
Hel
said
,
What
will
all
these
people
doe
aborde
the
shippe
,
for
there
was
at
the
least
two
hundred
men
,
who
all
at
one
time
drewe
out
their
poinyardes
,
and
stabbed
our
men
that
neuer
suspected
them
,
so
that
presently
they
had
slaine
twelue
of
the
shippe
,
and
two
sore
wounded
,
that
boldly
withstoode
them
:
the
rest
of
our
men
being
vnder
hatches
presently
tooke
their
pikes
,
and
thrust
so
fast
out
at
the
grates
,
How
the
Indians
betrayed
them
.
that
the
Iauers
woulde
haue
forced
the
middle
part
of
the
ship
,
wherein
was
two
entries
,
but
our
men
standing
at
them
with
their
swordes
in
hande
draue
them
out
,
not
ceasing
still
to
thrust
vp
with
their
pikes
,
meane
time
they
kindled
fier
,
lighted
their
matches
,
&
shot
off
their
stone
peeces
that
lay
aboue
the
hatches
,
wherwith
they
began
presently
to
flie
,
most
of
them
leaping
ouer
bord
,
and
swam
to
their
two
boates
,
that
lay
harde
by
our
shippes
,
whereof
one
with
a
great
peece
was
presently
striken
in
peeces
:
The
rest
of
our
ships
hearing
vs
shoote
in
that
manner
,
entered
into
their
boats
,
and
made
towardes
them
,
rowing
harde
to
the
three
Indian
fustes
,
wherein
were
at
the
least
100.
men
,
and
shotte
among
them
with
their
peeces
,
wherewith
they
leapt
into
the
water
,
euery
man
swimming
to
shore
,
and
we
with
two
boates
after
them
,
hewing
and
killing
them
as
our
deadly
enemies
,
who
vnder
pretence
of
friendshippe
sought
to
murther
vs
,
and
wee
handled
them
in
such
sort
,
that
of
two
hundred
men
there
got
not
aboue
thirty
of
them
to
lande
,
the
rest
of
their
fustes
lay
farre
off
and
beheld
the
fight
:
Three
of
their
fustes
thought
to
rowe
to
the
Pinace
to
take
her
,
which
they
might
easily
haue
done
,
as
hauing
not
aboue
7.
or
8.
men
in
her
,
being
busie
to
set
vppe
a
newe
maste
,
but
when
they
perceyued
their
men
to
bee
so
handeled
in
the
Amsterdam
,
and
that
they
leapt
ouer
borde
,
they
turned
backe
againe
,
and
in
great
haste
rowed
to
land
,
so
that
at
that
time
they
got
not
much
by
the
bargaine
,
and
no
small
griefe
to
vs
,
for
there
wee
lost
12.
men
,
that
were
all
stabbed
with
poinyards
,

were

and
two
boyes
,
whereof
one
was
but
twelue
yeares
olde
,
whereby
wee
perceyued
them
to
be
a
kinde
of
cruell
people
,
for
they
had
giuen
the
little
boy
and
all
the
rest
of
our
men
at
the
least
12.
stabbes
a
peece
after
they
were
dead
.
The
same
day
about
euening
we
hoysed
ankers
,
and
set
saile
,
hauing
manned
the
Amsterdam
with
men
out
of
our
other
shippes
,
and
so
helde
our
course
Eastward
.
The
6.
of
December
we
came
to
a
great
Island
called
Madura
,
where
we
ankered
,
and
in
the
euening
two
of
their
men
came
aborde
our
shippes
,
with
message
from
their
Gouernour
,
saying
that
we
were
welcome
,
desiring
vs
to
stay
there
,
for
he
would
trafficke
with
vs
,
and
sell
vs
some
Pepper
,
as
they
saide
,
but
wee
belieued
them
not
.
The
7.
of
December
there
came
another
boat
abord
,
bringing
certaine
fruites
,
saying
that
the
next
day
their
Gouernour
would
come
to
see
our
shippes
.
The
8.
there
came
a
great
fuste
and
three
smal
boats
,
from
off
the
land
all
full
of
men
,
saying
their
Gouernor
was
among
them
:
we
willed
them
not
to
goe
to
the
Amsterdam
,
but
to
the
Mauritius
,
but
they
woulde
not
,
but
made
to
the
Amsterdam
,
thinking
because
there
had
beene
so
many
murthered
in
her
,
there
was
not
many
men
aborde
her
at
that
time
,
and
when
they
were
within
a
pykes
length
of
her
,
(
although
they
were
directed
to
the
other
shippes
)
they
remembring
their
late
mischance
,
shotte
off
three
or
foure
stone
Peeces
full
laden
,
wherewith
they
slew
and
hurt
many
of
the
Indians
,
wherevpon
they
presently
leapt
ouer
bord
,
&
wee
with
our
boates
followed
after
and
slew
diuers
of
them
,
taking
ten
or
twelue
,
thinking
by
them
to
know
what
their
intent
was
to
doe
,
but
they
coulde
not
certifie
vs
,
and
therefore
we
let
them
go
againe
onely
keeping
two
boyes
,
who
long
after
stole
out
of
the
shippe
,
and
swamme
to
lande
:
They
tolde
vs
that
the
Gouernour
being
a
Bishoppe
or
chiefe
instructor
of
the
countrey
,
was
within
the
boate
and
slaine
among
the
rest
,
hee
had
therein
likewise
a
little
boy
one
of
his
sonnes
who
wee
likewise
tooke
,
and
sent
to
lande
:
The
Bishoppe
was
of
Meca
,
and
much
esteemed
of
among
them
,
a
great
Clearke
,
and
Gouernour
ouer
all
the
rest
of
the
Countrey
:
There
was
a
Iewell
found
about
him
,
which
as
yet
is
kept
.
About
euening
we
hoysed
ankers
,
&
set
sayle
,
&
the
11.
of
December
we
came
to
two
small
Islands
,
where
wee
ankered
,
there
wee
founde
none
but
poore
people
and
fishermen
,
that
brought
vs
fish
,
Hens
,
&
other
fruit
to
sell
.
How
farre
they
were
from
Moluccas
The
13.
wee
set
sayle
,
and
the
14.
wee
had
a
West
winde
,
which
they
call
the
passage
winde
,
that
would
haue
serued
vs
well
to
saile
to
Moluccas
,
from
whence
wee
were
not
distant
aboue
two
hundred
miles
,
and
as
then
it
was
a
good
yeare
for
Cloues
,
which
happeneth
euery
three
yeares
:
It
was
told
vs
that
we
might
there
haue
a
Cabbin
laden
full
of
Cloues
,
wherevpon
wee
determined
to
sayle
thither
,
but
because
wee
had
already
indured
a
long
and
troublesome
voyage
,
and
but
ill
manned
,
wee
woulde
not
,
longing
to
bee
at
home
:
This
contrary
wind
holding
vppon
the
foure
and
twentie
of
December
wee
came
to
an
Islande
where
we
had
beene
before
.
The
25.
of
December
Iohn
Molenaer
maister
of
the
Mauritius
,
dyed
sodainely
,
for
an
hower
before
hee
was
well
and
in
good
health
.
The
28.
29.
30.
and
31.
of
December
wee
were
busied
to
take
all
the
wares
,
sayles
and
other
thinges
out
of
the
Amsterdam
,
her
victuailes
and
furnitures
seruing
for
our
voyage
homewarde
,
&
lying
vnder
that
Island
,
we
had
victuailes
brought
vs
euery
day
as
much
as
wee
needed
,
both
fish
,
Hens
,
venison
and
fruit
,
and
at
reasonable
price
,
but
there
we
could
get
no
water
.
The
Amsterdam
set
on
fire
.
The
11.
of
Ianuary
when
we
had
vnladen
the
Amsterdam
we
set
her
on
fier
,
letting
her
burne
,
taking
her
men
into
our
shippes
.
The
12.
of
Ianuarie
we
set
sayle
again
,
some
desiring
to
sayle
Eastward
,
others
Westward
,
but
in
fine
wee
set
Westwarde
to
sayle
once
againe
to
Bantam
,
wherewith
the
Mauritius
sayled
Southeastwarde
,
to
gette
about
the
Island
of
Iaua
,
and
we
followed
her
.
The
14.
of
Ianuary
we
once
againe
perceyued
the
East
point
of
the
Island
of
Madura
,
and
held
our
course
Southward
:
on
that
side
of
Madura
there
lyeth
many
small
Islandes
,
through
which
we
sayled
.
The
Pinace
on
ground
.
The
16.
in
the
morning
our
Pinace
fell
on
grounde
vpon
the
coast
of
Iaua
,
not
far
from
Pannorocan
,
where
she
shotte
off
three
peeces
,
at
the
which
warning
wee
made
thither
with
our
boates
,
and
by
the
helpe
of
God
got
her
off
againe
:
There
we
saw
a
high
hil
that
burnt
,
vnder
and
aboue
the
fire
hauing
a
great
smoake
,
most
strange
to
behold
.
The
18.
of
Ianuary
we
entered
into
the
straight
that
runneth
betweene
Iaua
and
Baly
,
and
by
reason
of
the
hard
&
contrary
streame
that
ran
therin
,
we
were
forced
to
anker
vpon
the
coast
of
Iaua
,
where
wee
found
good
anker
ground
.
The
19.
wee
set
sayle
,
and
when
wee
came
neere
to
the
coast
of
Baly
,
we
entered
into
a
rough
streame
,
and
our
shippes
draue
backeward
,
as
swiftly
as
an
arrow
out
of
a
bow
,
and
there
we
found
no
anker
ground
,
nor
any
anker
could
haue
holden
vs
,
but
Molenaer
got
the
coast
of
Iaua
and
ankered
,
which
in
the
ende
wee
likewise
did
,
and
ankered
at
the
least
three
miles
from
him
,
and
so
much
we
had
driuen
backe
in
the
space
of
halfe
an
houre
.
The
20.
of
Ianuarie
wee
went
and
lay
by
our
other
ships
.
The
21.
of
Ianuarie
there
came
two
barkes
to
the
Mauritius
,
wherein
there
was
one
that
coulde
speake
good
Portingall
,
who
tolde
vs
that
the
towne
of
Ballaboam
was
besieged
by
a
strange
King
,
that
had
marryed
the
King
of
Ballaboams
daughter
,
and
after
he
had
laine
with
her
he
caused
her
to
bee
slaine
,
and
then
came
to
besiege
her
father
.
This
towne
of
Ballaboam
lyeth
on
the
East
end
of
the
Island
of
Iaua
,
and
is
the
same
towne
where
M.
Candish
was
when
hee
passed
that
way
,
and
the
old
King
wherof
he
writeth
was
as
then
yet
liuing
,
being
at
the
least
160.
years
of
age
.
There
we
saw
great
numbers
of
Battes
,
that
flew
ouer
our
shippes
,
and
were
as
bigge
as
Crowes
,
which
in
that
Countrey
they
vse
to
eat
,
as
they
say
:
About
noone
we
came
before
the
towne
of
Ballaboam
,
so
neare
vnto
it
that
we
might
easily
see
it
,
and
there
we
lay
behind
a
high
point
of
lande
,
thinking
to
take
in
water
.
The
22.
of
Ianuarie
we
tooke
our
Pinace
,
and
sayled
about
the
shore
as
neere
the
land
as
possible
we
might
,
to
seeke
for
fresh
water
,
but
we
found
none
,
for
the
Riuer
that
ran
through
the
towne
was
paled
vp
(
by
them
that
lay
before
it
)
so
that
no
man
might
passe
either
out
or
in
,
but
onely
on
the
lande
side
,
and
that
with
great
daunger
:
The
same
day
there
came
2.
or
3.
men
abord
our
shippe
,
that
stole
out
of
the
towne
by
night
,
and
came
from
the
King
,
to
desire
our
help
with
our
great
shot
,
which
wee
coulde
not
doe
;
because
that
thereabouts
it
was
very
shallow
,
and
we
might
not
go
neere
it
with
our
shippes
:
they
tolde
vs
they
had
great
want
of
victuailes
within
the
towne
,
whereby
many
of
them
were
already
deade
for
hunger
,
and
much
desired
our
aide
,
but
it
was
not
in
vs
to
doe
.
Those
that
besieged
the
towne
were
Mores
,
but
they
in
the
towne
were
heathens
,
and
as
yet
had
not
receyued
Mahomets
lawe
,
and
that
(
as
wee
heard
after
)
was
the
cause
of
their
warre
:
There
wee
sawe
many
Storkes
flying
and
sitting
in
the
fielde
:
with
vs
we
cannot
imagaine
where
the
Storkes
remaine
in
winter
time
,
but
here
wee
sawe
them
in
the
winter
time
.
The
24.
of
Ianuarie
we
sayled
from
thence
,
perceyuing
nothing
for
vs
to
get
,
and
tooke
our
course
right
ouer
to
the
Island
of
Bally
.
The
25.
we
came
to
Bally
,
where
one
of
their
barks
borded
vs
,
telling
vs
that
there
we
should
find
a
Riuer
of
fresh
water
,
and
of
all
thinges
els
sufficient
to
serue
our
necessities
,
wherevpon
wee
ankered
.
The
26.
of
Ianuarie
our
Pinace
sent
her
boat
to
land
,
to
see
the
Riuer
,
and
there
one
of
our
men
was
sent
on
shore
,
but
when
he
was
on
land
he
found
nothing
,
but
an
armie
of
ten
thousand
men
,
that
ment
to
relieue
the
towne
of
Ballaboam
,
and
the
Riuer
was
nothing
worth
to
lade
water
,
wherevpon
our
men
came
on
borde
againe
:
Their
Generall
thought
to
haue
gotten
some
great
pray
out
of
our
shippes
.
The
27.
of
Ianuarie
we
set
sayle
to
finde
a
conuenient
place
to
refresh
vs
with
water
and
other
prouision
,
for
wee
were
informed
by
a
man
of
Bengala
,
that
of
his
owne
will
sayled
with
vs
,
and
that
had
beene
in
Bally
,
that
there
wee
should
finde
water
and
other
thinges
to
serue
our
necessities
,
so
that
by
night
wee
ankered
vnder
a
high
pointe
of
lande
on
the
South
west
ende
of
Bally
.
The
28.
of
Ianuary
one
of
their
boates
borded
vs
with
sixe
or
seuen
men
,
saying
that
their
King
was
desirous
to
deale
with
vs
for
such
wares
as
hee
had
,
and
sent
to
know
from
whence
we
came
,
and
we
saide
wee
came
out
of
Holland
.
The
29.
and
30.
there
came
more
men
aborde
our
shippes
,
but
as
wee
suspected
that
was
not
the
right
hauen
,
for
the
people
came
rowing
in
great
haste
a
far
off
,
and
the
man
of
Bengala
could
not
tell
what
to
say
,
but
the
King
was
thereabout
,
and
euery
day
sent
vs
some
fruit
.
The
first
of
February
wee
had
two
hogges
brought
aborde
our
shippes
,
that
wee
bought
for
two
Ryalles
of
eyght
,
and
we
eate
them
very
sauerly
.
The
2.
of
Februarie
,
we
set
saile
that
wee
might
get
aboue
the
point
,
where
wee
thought
to
finde
a
better
place
for
freshe
water
,
but
by
reason
the
winde
was
contrary
,
wee
coulde
not
doe
it
,
but
were
forced
to
anker
againe
.
The
3.
of
February
we
set
saile
againe
,
and
then
wee
had
a
storme
,
so
that
our
saile
blew
euery
way
,
and
because
of
the
contrarie
winde
we
could
not
reach
aboue
the
point
,
but
were
constrained
to
anker
,
but
the
Mauritius
and
the
Pinace
got
past
it
,
although
thereby
the
Mauritius
was
in
no
little
daunger
;
but
because
the
Pilot
had
laid
a
wager
of
6.
Rialles
of
8.
that
hee
woulde
get
aboue
it
,
hee
would
passe
,
what
daunger
soeuer
it
might
be
,
and
sayled
close
along
by
the
cliffes
,
whereby
wee
lay
at
anker
without
companie
.
The
4.
and
5.
wee
set
saile
once
againe
to
get
aboue
the
point
but
could
not
reach
it
.
The
6.
we
had
a
letter
from
Rodenburgh
,
that
certified
vs
how
the
Mauritius
lay
at
anker
at
the
least
7.
or
8.
miles
beyond
the
point
,
and
he
that
brought
the
letter
came
with
it
ouer
land
;
and
at
the
same
time
there
was
a
man
sent
on
lande
with
a
small
present
for
the
King
,
that
we
might
winne
his
fauour
.
The
7.
our
man
came
on
borde
againe
,
and
brought
vs
newes
how
Rodenburgh
with
one
of
the
Portingalles
slaues
,
being
on
lande
were
against
their
willes
led
before
the
King
,
but
the
saylors
of
the
Mauritius
had
gotten
men
for
pledges
.
The
8.
of
Ianuarie
,
the
same
man
went
on
land
out
of
our
shippe
with
more
presentes
of
veluet
and
a
caliuer
,
the
better
to
get
the
Kinges
fauour
,
which
liked
him
well
,
and
desired
vs
to
bring
the
ship
nearer
to
the
towne
,
saying
he
would
send
vs
water
and
other
things
sufficient
to
supply
our
wants
.
The
9.
we
sayled
into
the
cheeke
with
our
shippe
,
&
ankered
about
a
small
halfe
mile
from
the
land
,
&
being
ankered
there
came
at
the
least
70.
boates
of
the
Countrie
to
see
our
ship
,
and
the
King
sent
vs
word
that
hee
was
desirous
to
heare
vs
shoote
off
5.
or
6.
of
our
great
peeces
,
wherevppon
wee
shot
fiue
of
our
greatest
peeces
,
and
the
King
stoode
vppon
the
shore
to
see
them
.
The
10.
we
had
a
letter
from
Cornelis
Houtman
,
to
wil
vs
to
come
to
them
,
for
that
there
they
had
founde
a
good
place
for
water
,
and
of
all
other
necessaries
,
so
that
about
euening
wee
set
sayle
,
leauing
two
of
our
men
and
a
Portingall
slaue
among
the
Indians
,
whome
the
King
promised
should
come
vnto
vs
ouer
land
,
yet
that
night
wee
could
not
reach
aboue
the
point
,
meane
time
we
perceyued
our
Pinace
that
came
to
helpe
vs
.
The
16.
we
got
by
the
Mauritius
,
that
had
already
laden
in
her
water
,
and
hooped
her
vessels
,
wherevpon
we
began
presently
to
do
the
like
,
and
to
visite
our
vessels
that
were
almost
spoyled
.
The
17.
our
men
whome
wee
left
with
the
King
came
ouer
land
vnto
our
shippes
,
and
then
we
bought
great
store
of
cattle
and
fruit
.
The
18.
19.
20.
and
21.
wee
imployed
our
time
to
lade
water
,
which
wee
had
verie
easily
,
and
refreshed
our selues
with
Cattle
,
Hogges
,
fruit
,
and
Lemons
sufficient
.
There
came
one
of
the
Kinges
principall
officers
with
our
men
ouer
land
,
to
pleasure
vs
in
all
things
we
desired
,
he
was
very
desirous
to
haue
some
present
of
vs
.
The
22.
of
Ianuarie
two
of
our
men
that
sayled
in
the
Mauritius
stayed
on
lande
,
but
wee
knewe
not
the
cause
:
it
should
seeme
some
great
promises
had
beene
made
vnto
them
,
for
as
we
vnderstoode
,
the
King
was
very
desirous
to
haue
all
sortes
of
strange
nations
about
him
,
Two
of
our
men
stayed
with
the
Indians
.
but
our
people
were
therein
much
ouerseene
,
for
there
they
liued
among
heathens
,
that
neyther
knewe
God
nor
his
commandementes
,
it
appeared
that
their
youthes
and
wilde
heades
did
not
remember
it
,
one
of
their
names
was
Emanuel
Rodenburgh
of
Amsterdam
,
the
other
Iacob
Cuyper
of
Delft
:
within
a
day
or
two
they
sent
vnto
vs
for
their
clothes
,
but
wee
sent
them
not
.
The
23.
24.
and
25.
we
made
a
voyage
on
land
,
and
fetcht
as
many
Hogges
abord
our
shippes
as
we
could
eate
.
The
25.
of
Februarie
we
hoysed
ankers
,
minding
to
set
saile
&
so
go
homeward
,
leauing
our
2.
men
aforesaid
on
land
,
but
because
it
was
calme
weather
we
ankered
,
and
went
once
againe
on
lande
,
and
the
26.
of
the
same
Month
wee
set
saile
and
helde
our
course
West
South
west
,
but
we
had
a
calme
.
The
situation
of
the
Island
of
Baly
.
THe
Island
of
Baly
lying
at
the
East
end
of
Iaua
,
is
a
verie
fruitfull
Islande
of
Ryce
,
Hennes
,
Hogges
,
that
are
verie
good
,
and
great
store
of
cattle
:
but
they
are
very
drie
and
leane
beastes
.
They
haue
many
horses
:
the
inhabitantes
are
heathens
and
haue
no
religion
,
for
some
pray
to
Kine
,
others
to
the
Sunne
,
and
euerie
man
as
hee
thinketh
good
.
How
50.
women
burnt
them selues
with
one
man
.
When
a
man
dyeth
his
wife
burneth
her selfe
with
him
:
there
were
some
of
their
men
aborde
our
shippes
,
that
told
vs
,
that
when
some
man
dyeth
in
that
Countrey
,
that
sometimes
there
are
at
the
least
fifty
women
that
will
burne
themselues
with
him
,
and
she
that
doth
not
so
is
accounted
for
a
dishonest
woman
:
so
that
it
is
a
common
thing
with
them
:
The
apparel
both
of
men
and
women
is
for
the
most
part
like
those
of
Bantam
,
nothing
but
a
cloth
about
their
middles
:
Their
weapons
is
,
each
man
a
poinyarde
at
their
backes
,
and
a
trunke
with
an
iron
point
like
a
speare
,
about
a
fadom
and
a
halfe
long
,
out
of
the
which
they
blowe
certaine
arrowes
,
whereof
they
haue
a
case
full
;
it
is
an
euil
weapon
for
naked
men
:
they
are
enemies
to
the
Mores
and
Portingalles
.
This
Island
yeeldeth
no
spice
,
nor
any
other
costly
ware
,
onely
victuailes
and
clothes
which
they
weare
about
their
bodies
,
and
slaues
that
are
there
to
be
solde
.
The
King
went
with
more
state
then
the
King
of
Bantam
:
all
his
garde
had
pikes
with
heades
of
fine
gold
,
and
he
sate
in
a
wagon
that
was
drawen
by
2.
two
white
Buffles
.
The
first
of
March
we
had
a
calme
.
The
third
we
got
a
good
wind
that
blew
Southeast
,
holding
our
course
West
South
west
.
The
fourteenth
the
wind
blew
stil
South
east
,
sometimes
more
Southwarde
,
and
sometimes
Eastward
,
being
vnder
14.
degrees
,
and
a
good
sharpe
gale
,
holding
our
course
West
Southwest
:
The
situation
of
Iaua
There
we
found
that
Iaua
is
not
so
broade
,
nor
stretcheth
it selfe
not
so
much
Southwarde
,
as
it
is
set
downe
in
the
Carde
:
for
if
it
were
,
we
should
haue
passed
clean
through
the
middle
of
the
land
.
The
22.
of
March
the
winde
helde
as
it
did
,
being
vnder
19.
degrees
,
holding
our
course
West
South
west
.
The
19.
of
April
our
ship
had
no
more
bread
left
,
but
for
our
last
partition
euery
man
had
seuen
pound
,
both
good
and
badde
breade
,
and
from
that
time
forwarde
our
meate
was
Rice
sodden
in
water
,
and
euery
man
had
a
canne
of
water
euery
day
,
with
three
romers
of
wine
,
and
weekely
each
man
three
romers
or
glasses
of
oyle
and
that
very
strong
,
and
nothing
els
.
The
20.
we
had
a
calme
,
the
21.
a
calme
with
a
Northerne
aire
.
The
23.
a
good
wind
that
blew
Southwest
.
The
24.
we
saw
the
firme
lande
of
Aethiopia
,
being
vnder
33
degrees
,
and
as
wee
gessed
,
wee
were
then
about
an
hundred
miles
from
the
Cape
de
bona
Sperance
,
yet
we
thought
we
had
been
at
the
least
three
hundred
miles
from
it
,
so
that
wee
may
say
,
that
God
wrought
wonderfully
for
vs
:
for
that
if
wee
had
fallen
by
night
vpon
the
land
,
we
had
surely
runne
vpon
it
:
wee
had
a
good
winde
out
of
the
West
,
and
West
Southwest
.
The
25.
of
Aprill
in
the
morning
wee
had
a
calme
,
with
a
very
hollow
water
,
&
at
euening
we
had
a
good
winde
,
that
came
North
and
Northeast
,
and
although
wee
had
so
good
a
wind
yet
our
shippe
bare
but
little
sayle
,
although
the
other
two
shippes
of
our
company
were
at
the
least
two
mile
before
vs
,
for
most
part
of
the
night
wee
sayled
with
our
schouer
saile
,
holding
our
course
Southwest
&
by
West
.
The
26.
of
Aprill
in
the
morning
we
coulde
not
see
our
shippes
,
which
pleased
not
our
men
,
besides
that
our
shippe
was
very
weake
,
whereby
her
ribs
shoke
,
and
her
ioynts
with
the
force
of
the
water
opened
and
shut
,
so
that
as
then
our
shippe
was
very
leake
,
hauing
the
winde
Northwest
,
holding
our
course
as
neere
as
wee
could
West
Southwest
,
and
then
we
put
out
our
maine
sayles
,
at
noone
the
winde
came
West
,
with
a
great
storme
,
so
that
most
of
our
sayles
blew
in
peeces
,
and
so
wee
draue
forward
with
out
sayles
.
The
27.
of
Aprill
still
driuing
without
sayle
with
a
West
winde
,
wee
were
vnder
thirty
sixe
degrees
,
so
that
we
found
that
the
streame
draue
vs
South
&
South
West
.
The
28.
of
Aprill
still
driuing
without
sailes
,
we
had
the
height
of
36.
degrees
and
20.
minutes
,
and
about
euening
we
hoised
saile
againe
,
the
winde
being
West
Southwest
,
&
we
held
our
course
Northwest
with
very
hollow
water
.
The
29.
of
April
we
could
not
as
yet
see
our
shippes
,
the
wind
being
West
.
The
30.
of
Aprill
we
had
fayre
weather
with
a
West
and
west
South
west
wind
,
and
then
we
saw
many
great
birdes
with
white
billes
,
which
is
a
signe
not
to
bee
far
from
the
Cape
de
bona
Sperance
,
we
likewise
saw
certain
small
birdes
,
speckled
on
their
backes
,
and
white
vpon
their
breasts
.
The
first
of
May
wee
had
a

with
fayre

,
hauing
34.
degrees

a

The

wee
were

holding
our

The

we
had
a
calme
with
a
gray
sky
,
and
were
vnder
31.
degrees
and
twentie
minutes
,
and
then
our
portion
of
oyle
was
increased
a
glasse
more
euery
weeke
,
so
that
euery

had
foure

The

we
had
stil
south

,
&
were
vnder

The
14.
of
Aprill
twice
or
thrice
we
saw
reedes
,
called
Trombos
driuing
on
the
water
,
being
such
as
driue
about
the
Cape
de
bona
Speranza
,
which
wee
thought
verie
strange
,
for
that
the
Portingals
write
,
that
they
are
seene
but
thirtie
myles
from
the
Cape
,
and
wee
gest
our selues
to
be
at
the
least
200.

it
.
The
15.
we
still
had
a
South
east
wind
,
&
helde
our
course
Northwest
.
The
16.
of
Aprill
in
the
morning
we
saw
two
ships
,
whereat
we
much
reioyced
,
thinking
they
had
beene
our
companie
,
we
made
to
leewarde
of
them
,
and
the
smallest
of
them
comming
somewhat
neere
vs
,
about
the
length
of
the
shotte
of
a
great
peece
,
shee
made
presently
toward
her
fellow
,
whereby
we
perceiued
them
to
bee
French
men
,
yet
wee
kept
to
leeward
,
thinking
they
would
haue
come
&
spoken
with
vs
,
but
it
should
seeme
they
feared
vs
,
and
durst
not
come
,
but
held
their
course
Northeast
:
at
noone
we
had
the
height
of
22.
degrees

and
50.
minutes
with
a

,
holding

The

wee
were

the

the

being
Southerly

we
were
vnder

There
we
found
the
compasse
to
decline
three
quarters
of
a

or

North
eastward
,
after
noone
we
had
a
Southeast
wind
,
and
our

The
22.
of
May
we
had
still
a
Southeast

,
and
were
vnder
the
height
of
16.
degrees
and
40.
minutes
,
holding
our

West
Northwest
.
The
23.
of
May
,
by
reason
of
the
cloudy
sky
,
about
noone
we
could
not
take
the
height
of
the
Sunne
,
but
as
we
gest
we
had
the
height
of
the
Island
of
S.
Helena
,
and
held
our
course
West
and
by
South
to
keepe
vnder
that
height
,
for
there
the
compasses
decline
a
whole
strike
or
line
:
in
the
euening
we
found
that
we
were
vnder
16.
degrees
.
The
24.
of
May
in
the
morning
wee
discouered
a
Portingall
ship
,
that
stayed
for
vs
,
and
put
out
a
flagge
of
truce
,
and
because
our
flagge
of
truce
was
not
so
readie
as
theirs
,
and
we
hauing
the
wind
of
him
,
therefore
he
shot
two
shootes
at
vs
,
and
put
forth
a
flagge
out
of
his
maine
top
,
and
we
shot
5.
or
6.
times
at
him
,
and
so
held
on
our
course
without
speaking
to
him
,
hauing
a
South
east
winde
,
holding
our
course
West
and
by
South
to
find
the
Island
of
S.
Helena
,
which
the
Portingal
likewise
sought
.
The
25.
of
May
we
discouered
the
Island
of
S.
Helena
,
but
we
could
not
see
the
Portingal
ship
,
still
sayling
with
a
stiffe
Southeast
wind
,
&
about
euening
we
were
vnder
the
Island
,
which
is
very
high
lande
,
and
may
be
seene
at
the
least
14.
or
15.
miles
off
,
and
as
we
sayled
about
the
North
point
,
there
lay
three
other
great
Portingal
ships
,
we
being
not
aboue
half
a
mile
from
them
,
wherevpon
wee
helde
in
the
weather
and
to
seawarde
Northeast
as
much
as
we
might
.
Foure
Portingal
ships
richly
laden
The
Portingalles
perceyuing
vs
,
the
Admiral
of
their
fleet
shot
off
a
peece
to
call
their
men
that
were
on
land
to
come
a
borde
,
and
then
wee
saw
foure
of
their
shippes
together
,
that
were
worth
a
great
summe
of
money
,
at
the
least
300.
tunnes
of
gold
,
for
they
were
all
laden
with
spices
,
precious
stones
,
and
other
rich
wares
,
and
therefore
wee
durst
not
anker
vnder
the
Island
,
but
lay
all
night
Northeastwarde
,
staying
for
our
company
.
The
26.
of
May
in
the
morning
wee
made
towardes
the
Island
againe
,
with
a
good
Southeast
winde
,
and
about
noone
or
somewhat
past
we
discried
two
shippes
,
and
about
euening
as
we
made
towards
them
,
we
knew
them
to
be
our
company
,
which
made
vs
to
reioice
,
for
we
had
been
asunder
the
space
of
a
whole
Month
,
&
so
we
helde
together
and
sayled
homeward
,
holding
our
course
Northwest
:
for
as
yet
our
men
were
well
and
in
good
health
,
and
we
found
a
good
Southeast
winde
,
and
had
water
enough
for
foure
or
fiue
monthes
.
The
27.
28.

wee
had

and
the

day
we
were

The

we
were
vnder

with
a
Southest
wind
,
holding
our
course
north
west
,
but
by
means
of
the
Compasse
that
yeelded
north
eastward
,
we
kept
about
Northwest
&
by
North.
The
6.
of
Iune
we
were
vnder
one
degree
on
the
South
side
of
the
line
,
there
wee
founde
that
the
streame
draue
vs
fast
into
the
West
,
and
therefore
wee
helde
our
course
more
Northernely
,
and
sayled
Northwest
&
by
north
,
with
an
East
and
South
east

.
They
past
the
Equinoctial

The

wee
past
the
Equinoctiall

,
with
an
East

,
holding
our

.
The
10.
of
Iune
in
the
euening
we
were
vnder
5.
degrees
and
a
halfe
on
the
North
side
of
the
line
,
and
then
we
began
again
to
see
the
north
star
,
which
for
the
space
of
2.
years
we
had
not
seene
,
holding
our
course
North
Northwest
,
there
we
began
to
haue
smal
blasts
,
&
some
times
calmes

but
the

The

and
the
same
day
about
euening
our
fore
top
maste
fell
downe
.
The
13.
we
strake
all
our
sailes
and
mended
our
ship
.
The
14.
we
had
the
wind
Northward
,
holding
our
course
West
Northwest
as
neare
as
we
coulde
,
but
by
reason
of
the
thick
sky
wee
could
not
take
height
of
the
Sun
.
The
15.
of

we
had

The

&
we

They
tooke

.
The
18.
we
tooke
a
great

called
an
Aluercoor
,
which
serued
vs
all
for
2.
meals
,
which
wee
had
not
tasted
of
long
time
before
.
The

and
sometimes
larger
,
holding
our

North
Northwest
with
large

,
and
were
vnder

The

day
there
came
much
dust
flying
into
our
shippe
,
as
if
we
had
past
hard
by
some
sandie
downe
,
&
we
gest
the
nearest
land
to
vs
might
be
the
Island
of
S.
Anthony
,
and
wee
were
as
then
at
the

The

with
full

there
we
saw
much
Sargosse
,
driuing
on
the

.
The
last
of
Iune
we
had
the
Sun
right
ouer
our
heades
,
and
yet
we
felt
no
heat
,
for
that
by
reason
of
the
cold
ayre
we
had
a
fine
coole
weather
.
The
same
day
we
passed
Tropicus
Cancri
,
still
hauing
the
winde
East
Northeast
,
and
in
the
euening
we
were
vnder

The
second

we
still
saw
Sargosse
driuing
vpon
the

,
&
had
the

somewhat

North
Northeast
with
a

The

and
yet
we
saw
much
Sargosse
driuing
,
but
not
so
thicke
as
it
did
before
.
The
10.
of
Iuly
we
had
a
good

that
blew
south
and
South
and
by

,
and
hoysted
vp
our

,
that
for
the

of
26.
daies
were
neuer
touched
,
and
held
our

North
Northeast
,
there
we
were
in
no
little
feare
to
fall
among
the
Spanish
fleet
,
which
at
that
time
of
the
yeare
keepeth
about
the
Flemmish

The

one

fell
ouer
bord
,
and
was
carried
away
with
a
swift
streame
before
the

,
but
to
his
great
good
fortune
,
the
Pinace
saued
him

that
was
at
the

this
euening
we

The
12.
of
Iuly
we

a
Southwest

,
holding
our

Our

differed
a
degree
in
the
height
of
the
Sunne
,
for
ours
had
38.
degrees

and
theirs
but
37.
We
gest
to
be
about
the
Islands
of
Corbo
&
Flores
,
but
the

held
more
easterly
,
and
the
other
more
Westerly
.
The

of
Iuly
wee
had
still
a
Southwest

,
and
after
noone
wee
thought
wee
had
seene
land
,
but
we
were
not
assured
thereof
,
for
it
was
somewhat
close
.
The
14.

we
had
a

saw
no

the

our

found
a
barrell
of
stockfish
in
the

,
which
if
we
had
beene
at
home
we
would
haue
cast
it
on
the
dunghil
,
it
stunke
so
filthily
,
&
yet
we
eat
it
as
sauerly
as
the
best
meat
in
the
world
.
The
24.
we
had
a
West

,
&
that
with
so
strong
a

,
that
wee
were
forced
to

which

well
.
The

We
