An
historicall
and
true
discourse
of
a
voyage
made
by
the
Admirall
Cornelis
Matelief
the
younger
,
into
the
East
Indies
,
who
departed
out
of
Holland
in
May
,
Anno.
1605.
IN
regard
that
wee
began
our
voyage
some-what
too
late
in
the
yeare
,
it
fell
out
to
be
so
much
the
longer
,
(
as
I
wrote
vnto
your
worships
in
Ianuary
last
,
from
the
Iland
Mauritio
,
by
the
Admirall
Steuen
vander
Haghen
:
)
from
whence
we
departed
the
27.
of
Ianuary
,
and
fearing
the
passage
of
those
shallow
places
,
wee
caused
our
Pinnasses
or
small
boates
to
sayle
before
,
and
in
the
night
time
to
hang
out
Lanthornes
,
by
which
meanes
wee
got
ouer
the
flats
of
Nazare
,
ouer
the
North
point
called
Haya
de
Malsa
,
and
Perodes
Banhos
,
and
made
toward
Chagros
,
but
could
not
get
thether
by
the
North
,
and
therefore
tooke
our
course
Southerly
,
and
found
no
ground
:
from
thence
wee
past
betweene
Pulo
Malueo
,
and
the
Maldiues
,
but
saw
no
land
vntill
the
two
and
twenty
of
March
,
yet
wee
espied
the
Iland
of
Sumatra
,
which
is
the
point
of
Achin
,
but
could
not
reach
it
.
The
28.
of
Ianuary
wee
drew
neere
to
the
Nicobares
,
where
wee
tooke
in
fresh
water
,
and
got
some
Coques
Nuttes
,
and
a
few
Hennes
,
in
which
place
the
inhabitants
goe
altogether
naked
:
there
I
thought
to
haue
gotten
some
Amber
,
which
if
I
had
stayed
there
,
I
might
haue
got
for
fiue
blankes
.
There
our
men
went
on
shoare
,
and
hauing
mustered
,
prepared
some
instruments
of
wood
which
I
as
then
wanted
.
At
which
time
our
souldiers
and
Sailers
,
desiring
to
know
to
what
parts
they
were
bound
(
for
that
as
then
they
began
to
murmure
amongst
them-selues
,
saying
,
that
they
were
not
hyred
to
fight
on
land
(
and
some
of
the
chiefest
Sailers
stoutly
maintained
it
.
)
I
shewed
them
that
the
states
commissaries
Commission
giuen
vnto
me
,
was
to
besiege
and
win
the
towne
of
Malacca
,
setting
before
their
eyes
what
honor
and
great
profit
they
were
to
expect
from
thence
,
together
with
the
small
perill
which
they
had
to
incurre
:
saying
,
that
I
would
send
them
to
no
other
place
,
but
where
I
would
hazard
mine
owne
life
with
them
,
promising
them
that
if
they
chanced
to
winne
the
towne
by
force
of
assault
,
they
should
haue
the
ransacking
thereof
,
and
if
that
they
got
it
by
treatie
and
composition
,
they
should
likewise
haue
that
they
found
therein
,
reseruing
some
part
thereof
to
fortifie
the
towne
withall
,
wherewith
they
were
much
incouraged
,
and
resolutely
with
one
voyce
,
cryed
out
and
sayd
,
that
they
were
fully
resolued
to
win
the
towne
,
and
with
that
resolution
wee
sayled
through
the
Straights
:
and
vpon
the
last
of
Aprill
,
arriued
within
halfe
a
mile
of
Malacca
,
with
the
losse
of
two
men
onely
,
that
dyed
by
the
way
.
And
being
come
before
Malacca
,
I
commanded
that
foure
ships
that
lay
in
the
road
,
(
whereof
one
was
laden
for
China
,
)
should
bee
set
on
fire
,
but
my
commission
being
not
obserued
,
my
men
giuing
themselues
to
drinking
,
they
let
them
make
away
,
where
they
had
three
men
slaine
,
and
fifteene
wounded
:
but
I
willed
them
onely
to
burne
them
,
and
not
to
ransake
them
.
The
next
day
after
we
consulted
about
our
landing
(
for
that
order
had
beene
taken
long
before
how
wee
should
land
,
and
what
euery
man
should
doe
)
some
were
of
opinion
to
land
presently
,
others
said
that
it
was
not
expedient
for
vs
to
land
so
hastily
in
a
strange
countrey
,
not
knowing
the
enemies
forces
,
and
that
it
was
best
for
vs
to
stay
the
comming
of
the
King
of
Ihor
that
was
looked
for
within
eight
or
ten
dayes
,
for
wee
perceiued
a
wood
neere
vnto
the
shore
,
much
to
the
enemies
aduantage
to
play
vpon
vs
from
thence
,
we
not
being
able
to
pursue
them
,
and
therefore
alledged
that
they
thought
it
not
good
to
put
the
whole
Fleete
in
danger
,
before
the
comming
of
the
King
of
Ihor
:
who
being
arriued
with
two
or
three
thousand
men
,
they
sayd
wee
might
land
boldly
,
and
put
our
enemy
in
great
feare
:
this
was
the
iudgment
of
the
greater
part
of
vs
,
which
did
preuaile
,
though
I
my selfe
liked
better
of
our
present
landing
.
The
eight
of
May
we
landed
with
the
King
of
Ihor
,
(
who
had
about
three
thousand
men
with
him
,
)
and
in
our
landing
lost
not
one
man
;
for
the
Portugales
being
two
or
three
hundred
,
that
stood
ready
on
the
shore
to
resist
vs
,
suddenly
retired
into
the
suburbes
of
the
towne
,
where
they
defended
themselues
till
mid
night
,
and
then
setting
them
on
fire
,
and
breaking
the
bridge
,
ranne
into
the
towne
.
In
my
aduise
sent
vnto
the
Commissaries
,
I
haue
declared
what
I
haue
done
before
Malacca
,
vntill
the
eight
of
August
,
and
what
small
ayde
and
assistance
we
haue
receiued
from
the
Ihorites
,
with
the
disorder
and
mutiny
of
our
people
,
the
strength
of
the
towne
,
their
sallies
out
against
vs
,
and
how
they
haue
with
credit
beene
driuen
back
againe
by
vs
,
&c.
At
such
time
as
we
intended
to
remooue
our
siege
,
in
regarde
that
the
Portingales
Armado
as
then
laye
hard
by
Capo
Rachado
,
which
is
about
twelue
miles
from
Malacca
:
they
of
Malacca
thought
verily
eyther
to
spoile
vs
,
or
to
hinder
our
pretence
(
they
of
Malleyc
being
all
gone
aboorde
,
except
a
hundred
and
twenty
,
or
a
hunderd
and
thirty
men
,
)
and
issuing
out
of
the
towne
with
all
the
men
they
could
make
,
set
vpon
vs
,
but
we
couragiously
draue
them
back
againe
,
with
the
losse
of
fifty
of
their
men
,
and
but
one
man
of
ours
hurt
.
This
done
,
for
the
space
of
two
nights
I
was
much
troubled
about
shipping
of
our
Ordnance
,
in
regarde
that
the
streame
was
not
swift
,
whereby
the
water
could
not
get
to
the
shore
,
&
the
ground
very
muddy
,
so
that
I
could
hardly
get
our
Canon
aboord
,
but
God
prouided
so
well
for
vs
,
that
vpon
the
16.
day
we
all
got
aboord
,
and
left
not
any
thing
on
the
shoare
,
hauing
about
three
hundred
hurt
and
sicke
men
amongst
vs
.
Notwithstanding
the
17.
of
August
we
set
forward
to
encounter
our
enimy
,
whose
Fleete
was
14.
Galions
,
4.
Galleys
,
and
15.
or
16.
Fustes
or
Frigates
,
and
two
or
three
Galions
,
came
two
or
three
dayes
after
vnto
their
Fleete
:
that
euening
we
shotte
against
them
,
and
chased
them
,
but
in
the
night
they
put
on
more
sailes
,
and
wee
following
after
them
all
the
next
day
,
holding
our
course
Northerly
.
The
next
night
following
I
layd
mee
downe
to
sleepe
,
for
I
had
taken
no
rest
in
three
dayes
and
three
nights
before
,
beeing
much
busied
about
our
Ordinance
:
In
the
meane
time
Dyrick
Mol
maister
of
my
ship
came
vnto
me
,
shewing
me
that
the
enemy
out-sailed
vs
,
asking
me
whether
wee
should
put
on
any
more
sailes
,
I
answered
,
yea
;
and
willed
him
at
any
hand
to
keepe
them
still
in
fight
.
Not
long
after
that
he
came
againe
,
and
tolde
mee
that
the
enemy
had
cast
Anchor
,
whervpon
I
charged
him
to
Anchor
also
,
and
to
keepe
aboue
the
winde
:
The
rest
of
our
ships
anchred
loofeward
,
a
Canon
shot
wide
from
the
enemy
.
In
the
morning
before
the
breake
of
day
,
I
caused
a
peece
to
bee
shotte
off
,
to
warne
to
set
saile
,
for
as
then
the
enemy
had
gotten
some-what
more
,
and
had
the
loofe
of
vs
:
and
at
the
same
time
also
shotte
off
a
warning
peece
vnto
his
shippe
.
Our
shippe
called
the
Nassau
,
was
long
winding
vp
of
her
Anchor
;
and
before
I
could
make
signes
vnto
her
to
cut
the
cable
,
a
Portugall
ship
aborded
her
,
which
I
perceiuing
,
wound
my
shippe
about
to
ayde
her
,
but
the
Sea
was
so
calme
,
that
I
could
not
reache
her
,
but
by
force
borded
Simon
Man
,
and
could
by
no
meanes
get
from
him
.
The
Admirall
Alioza
de
Caruailla
,
seeing
vs
fast
together
,
boorded
Symon
Mau
,
and
Henrico
de
Loroinge
boorded
mee
,
(
these
two
were
the
greatest
Gallions
the
enemy
had
)
:
after
that
came
Duarte
de
Guerra
,
and
fell
also
vpon
mee
,
where-with
wee
gaue
fire
on
all
sides
,
at
which
encounter
most
part
of
Duarte
de
Guerras
men
were
kild
,
and
hee
himselfe
also
:
Alioza
de
Caruailla
forsooke
his
ship
,
and
was
likewise
slaine
:
Don
Henrico
receiued
more
then
a
hundred
shottes
thorough
his
ship
.
Afterwards
Claes
Gherritsz
Maister
of
the
Mauritius
,
fell
vpon
Duarte
de
Guerra
,
and
set
her
on
fire
,
whereby
our
blind
also
was
set
on
fire
:
the
other
Portugall
ships
would
haue
set
vpon
vs
,
but
durst
not
for
the
fire
,
meane
time
I
cast
out
an
Anchor
which
was
cut
off
by
my
men
,
but
they
sayd
that
it
was
done
by
the
fire
.
The
Mauritius
loosed
himselfe
,
&
Simon
Man
of
Middleborough
draue
from
vs
,
with
Duarte
de
Guerra
,
and
Alioza
de
Caruailla
,
but
the
people
for
the
most
part
were
all
slaine
,
I
hauing
cast
out
another
Anchor
,
called
vnto
them
to
cast
one
of
their
Cables
vnto
vs
to
stay
them
,
but
the
noyse
was
so
great
that
they
heard
vs
not
,
so
that
they
burnt
all
together
.
Simon
Mau
saued
the
most
part
of
his
men
,
except
eighteene
that
were
hurt
,
and
some
that
were
taken
prisoners
,
that
were
afterwards
released
by
my
meanes
.
I
was
still
fast
grapled
to
Henrico
,
to
whom
I
promisd
his
life
if
hee
would
yeeld
,
(
for
hee
could
not
defend
himselfe
,
which
hee
promised
to
doe
,
many
of
his
men
being
very
desirous
to
come
ouer
into
our
ship
,
but
I
refused
them
(
yet
twelue
of
them
came
aboord
)
fearing
that
my
men
would
fall
to
the
spoile
,
for
they
had
twise
more
men
then
wee
,
and
our
anchor
would
not
hold
,
and
still
the
enemyes
fleete
approached
,
wee
beeing
very
weary
,
my
Maister
and
my
Captaine
beeing
slaine
,
and
the
chiefe
Marchant
hurt
,
whereof
not
long
after
hee
dyed
,
and
I
was
forced
to
bee
present
at
euery
conflict
.
Whervpon
I
commanded
Don
Henrico
to
cast
out
anchor
,
but
hee
excused
himselfe
,
saying
,
that
hee
was
not
able
to
doe
it
,
for
which
cause
I
sent
a
man
to
looke
whether
it
were
so
or
not
,
which
gaue
himselfe
to
the
spoyle
;
then
I
sent
an
other
that
tooke
the
maisters
Whistle
from
his
necke
,
but
comming
back
againe
,
sayd
that
the
shippe
was
full
of
dead
men
,
and
that
the
anchors
were
lost
,
and
the
cables
shotte
in
peeces
,
by
the
Canon
shotte
.
Where-vpon
I
caused
a
Rope
to
bee
brought
out
at
the
Sterne
,
to
fasten
it
vnto
vs
.
In
the
meane
time
our
anchor
tooke
holde
,
and
his
ship
brake
from
vs
,
and
so
I
lost
my
prize
:
which
shewes
that
they
which
make
many
delayes
,
are
often
disappointed
,
so
that
it
seemes
that
marshall
affaires
must
bee
vndertaken
with
quick
and
speedy
resolution
.
This
grieued
vs
much
,
but
there
was
no
remedie
:
This
happened
about
euening
.
One
of
the
enemies
ships
also
boorded
the
Nassau
,
at
which
time
also
their
Vice-roy
fell
vpon
him
on
the
other
side
,
but
could
not
winne
him
,
and
therefore
set
the
Gallery
,
and
the
Sterne
of
her
on
fire
,
and
so
shee
was
burnt
,
the
Vice-roy
likewise
had
been
burnt
with
her
if
the
Galleyes
had
not
pluckt
him
away
by
force
.
The
most
part
of
the
Nassaus
men
were
saued
:
Mauritius
and
the
Black
Lion
thought
to
haue
falne
vpon
the
Viceroy
;
but
the
winde
was
too
calme
,
the
rest
of
our
ships
did
their
endeuours
,
but
there
were
some
faint-hearted
amongst
them
,
notwithstanding
wee
held
out
,
and
fought
all
that
day
,
although
vnfortunately
with
losse
of
two
ships
on
either
side
.
The
next
day
being
the
nineteene
of
August
,
all
our
ships
being
repayred
,
wee
resolued
to
recouer
our
losses
,
for
the
which
wee
were
much
grieued
,
but
if
the
Nassau
had
cut
her
Anchors
in
time
,
wee
had
not
boorded
one
the
other
,
and
it
had
fallen
out
better
for
vs
.
The
twentieth
of
August
wee
fell
to
it
againe
,
although
I
found
not
my
men
so
ready
and
resolute
as
before
,
for
those
that
had
escaped
out
of
the
shippes
that
were
burnt
,
especially
they
of
Middleborough
,
asked
mee
where
they
should
haue
their
moneths
pay
,
wherevnto
I
answered
,
that
it
was
then
no
time
to
speake
of
such
matters
;
and
that
I
knew
not
how
the
Commissaries
would
vnderstand
these
things
,
and
yet
I
sayd
I
was
informed
that
they
had
behaued
themselues
valiantly
,
and
that
therefore
it
was
no
reason
but
that
they
should
haue
their
due
,
and
that
to
my
power
I
would
defend
and
maintaine
them
in
all
iust
causes
.
Within
an
houre
after
,
the
men
of
my
ship
also
came
vnto
mee
,
and
demanded
security
for
their
moneths
pay
;
or
else
they
said
they
would
not
fight
:
they
had
some
setters
on
,
which
as
yet
I
dare
not
name
.
This
made
mee
halfe
abasht
,
yet
I
vsed
all
the
meanes
that
I
could
possible
to
appease
them
,
and
at
the
last
they
seemed
to
bee
contented
.
About
the
euening
wee
approched
the
enemy
againe
,
and
then
I
first
obserued
what
danger
the
words
(
of
respectiue
ships
)
set
downe
in
our
Articles
brought
vs
into
:
for
by
meanes
of
the
losse
of
the
two
shippes
aforesaid
,
euery
one
drew
back
from
ioyning
with
the
enemy
,
beeing
lothe
to
vse
his
hypoteke
or
assurance
,
whereby
wee
were
not
halfe
so
forward
to
set
vpon
our
enemy
as
wee
were
at
the
first
;
for
not
so
much
as
a
Swabber
in
the
shippe
but
hee
would
dispute
vpon
the
wordes
of
Respectiue
ships
,
for
whereas
it
is
sayd
,
that
for
the
assurance
of
their
pay
,
they
shall
haue
the
ship
wherein
they
serued
,
and
the
goods
that
were
in
it
and
no
more
,
euery
one
was
carefull
for
his
owne
.
That
day
and
the
next
wee
shotte
diuers
times
at
the
Viceroy
,
but
I
perceiuing
that
wee
had
not
powder
enough
to
ouer-come
such
an
army
,
nor
bullets
to
serue
our
turnes
,
though
I
had
caused
some
to
bee
made
before
Malacca
;
but
not
sufficient
,
wee
left
off
.
The
shipps
that
stayde
behinde
came
neere
vnto
the
enemy
,
that
had
his
rowing
Pinnasses
,
wherewith
hee
could
fetch
water
when
hee
would
,
and
in
our
sight
carryed
his
hurt
men
to
Malacca
,
wherevpon
wee
called
a
counsell
together
,
and
resolued
to
goe
to
Ihor
,
chiefly
to
release
our
ships
,
for
it
seemed
that
our
enemy
could
sayle
better
then
wee
,
as
also
to
refresh
out
sicke
men
,
to
make
Bullets
,
and
to
incourage
the
King
:
this
wee
performed
at
Ihor
,
which
hath
one
of
the
best
riuers
of
the
world
:
there
wee
made
Bullets
,
but
could
get
but
little
refreshing
for
money
,
I
also
incouraged
the
King
of
Ihor
,
counselling
him
to
fortifie
his
towne
,
and
shewed
him
how
hee
should
doe
it
,
which
at
last
was
begunne
,
and
had
soone
beene
finished
,
if
the
Hollanders
would
haue
wrought
.
Wee
departed
thence
the
thirteene
of
October
,
and
the
twentith
came
before
Malacca
,
and
for
the
space
of
sixe
dayes
laye
in
sight
of
the
Towne
,
but
could
not
approach
neere
vnto
it
by
reason
of
the
winde
,
so
that
the
enemy
placed
all
his
shipps
,
being
seauen
Galeons
and
three
Galleys
(
for
the
fourth
was
shotte
to
peeces
by
Capo
Rachado
)
in
a
rowe
,
and
all
his
Canon
on
the
one
side
.
Wee
there-vpon
taking
counsell
resolued
to
set
vpon
the
enemy
,
but
because
wee
had
little
prouision
of
pouder
,
and
a
long
iourney
to
make
home-ward
,
and
perceiuing
that
wee
could
not
seperate
their
shippes
with
shooting
,
wee
agreed
that
three
of
our
ships
should
boord
them
,
which
I
thought
to
haue
done
in
the
night
time
,
taking
with
mee
the
Sunne
,
and
the
Froninee
of
Delse
,
but
could
not
by
reason
of
the
streame
:
the
morning
beeing
coole
and
cleere
,
and
fitte
to
take
some-thing
in
hand
,
the
winde
comming
from
the
land
,
and
wee
lying
Northerly
from
the
roade
,
wee
made
saile
,
meaning
to
fall
vpon
their
shippe
that
lay
most
Southerly
and
most
beneath
the
streame
,
for
the
water
began
to
turne
,
but
the
winde
was
so
sharpe
,
that
I
could
scant
passe
by
the
roade
,
so
that
wee
approached
neere
to
Illa
das
noas
,
and
woond
about
it
,
but
could
not
set
vpon
any
of
them
,
but
vpon
that
which
laye
Northerliest
(
which
was
the
greatest
Gallion
next
vnto
the
Vice-royes
,
and
had
in
her
nineteene
Brasse
peeces
,
and
three
Yron
peeces
,
a
hundred
and
three
score
Portingales
,
and
as
many
Moores
(
I
willed
my
maister
called
Symon
Lambrechtsz
Man
,
whom
I
had
taken
into
my
ship
,
in
the
steed
of
Dirick
Mol
that
was
slaine
,
to
set
vpon
her
.
Wee
were
forced
to
passe
by
all
the
shippes
of
the
enemy
,
not
without
some
hurt
vnto
vs
,
but
I
shotte
not
at
all
,
rescuing
euery
thing
ready
vntill
our
aboording
,
but
when
wee
were
halfe
way
forward
amongst
the
enemies
ships
,
my
Maister
and
the
Pylote
counselled
mee
to
turne
our
course
,
to
whom
I
made
answer
,
that
I
wanted
no
aduise
nor
counsaile
,
to
delay
them
of
till
wee
were
aboord
the
Gallion
,
and
so
held
on
vntill
we
boorded
her
,
and
so
let
a
Dragge
fall
,
appointing
ten
Musquetters
to
keepe
it
,
and
to
hinder
that
the
enemy
should
not
loose
it
,
which
the
enemy
sought
to
doe
:
I
willed
them
also
to
shoote
continually
towards
their
Mersch
,
and
from
our
Mersch
and
garnates
,
I
caused
stones
and
fire-balles
to
bee
cast
,
whereby
the
enimie
was
driuen
vnder
his
net
.
And
as
soone
as
I
had
fastned
vppon
him
,
the
Sunne
fell
on
his
other
side
,
and
the
Prouince
came
behinde
vs
,
and
brake
his
Spritt
against
the
enemies
shippes
,
the
Galion
had
an
anchor
before
the
flood
,
and
a
cable
fastned
at
the
Vice-royes
ship
,
but
the
cable
was
presently
cutte
in
peeces
,
as
also
the
cable
that
fastened
the
Viceroy
vnto
him
,
and
so
wee
draue
together
towards
the
Lee
:
the
other
Portugales
perceiuing
that
,
hoysed
their
sailes
(
which
was
that
which
I
aymed
at
,
to
drawe
them
from
the
wall
,
)
and
made
to
sea-ward
.
Wee
fell
vpon
the
Saint
Nicholas
,
and
killed
all
the
men
,
except
eight
Portingalles
,
that
hidde
them-selues
vnder
the
Ballast
,
and
so
wee
tooke
her
.
My
Maister
and
the
Pilote
sayd
,
that
it
was
not
expedient
that
two
of
our
shippes
should
be
bound
to
one
shippe
,
and
that
wee
should
leaue
the
Sunne
alone
with
it
,
and
fall
vpon
the
Viceroy
that
drew
neere
vnto
vs
,
which
counsell
I
liked
not
,
fearing
to
haue
the
like
chance
that
I
had
with
Henrico
.
A
little
while
after
Roobol
Maister
of
the
great
Sunne
,
called
vnto
mee
,
to
pray
mee
to
let
him
alone
in
the
shippe
,
and
that
hee
would
carry
it
to
the
Sea
,
which
I
would
not
consent
vnto
,
but
perceiuing
that
I
could
not
doe
any
thing
to
my
minde
,
I
leaft
it
:
and
presently
the
weather
was
very
calme
,
the
Portingales
shippes
laye
loofe-ward
from
vs
,
whereof
one
made
towards
the
great
Sunne
,
but
hee
could
not
,
fearing
to
be
clapt
on
boord
by
vs
,
we
perceiuing
that
the
calme
either
hindred
vs
to
come
togither
;
I
sent
a
boate
to
Roobol
willing
him
to
set
fire
in
the
shippe
,
where
vnto
hee
answered
that
I
should
hold
my
peace
,
and
sayd
hee
would
not
do
it
,
in
the
meane
time
hee
got
him-selfe
loose
,
by
what
meanes
I
know
not
,
and
hoysing
vp
his
great
sayle
,
ranne
more
then
a
myle
from
the
Fleete
not
once
looking
backe
:
In
the
meane
while
two
Portingale
shippes
boorded
the
Vize-admirall
,
against
whome
came
Mauritius
and
the
Blacke
Lion
,
and
behaued
themselues
so
well
,
that
the
one
of
th'
enemies
shippes
was
burnt
,
and
the
other
spoyled
.
The
Erasmus
set
vppon
a
portingale
,
but
they
were
presently
separated
againe
,
and
I
sayling
by
him
willed
him
to
bord
him
againe
,
which
he
did
,
but
they
were
presently
seperated
againe
.
The
great
calme
hindred
mee
that
I
could
not
come
neere
them
:
after
that
a
whirlewinde
rysing
,
scattered
the
shippes
;
and
with
that
Mauritius
made
towards
the
Portingale
againe
,
Erasmus
and
I
also
turning
towards
him
,
which
the
Portingale
perceiuing
,
yeelded
vnto
vs
,
where
wee
killed
foure
and
forty
Portingales
,
and
tooke
out
of
her
eight
peeces
of
brasse
,
and
so
set
fire
on
hir
.
In
the
shippe
which
the
Vize-admirall
burnt
there
was
not
so
much
as
a
catte
or
a
dogge
saued
:
The
shippe
that
Roobol
did
let
go
,
was
driuen
by
the
Gallies
to
the
shoare
,
and
so
the
euening
came
vppon
vs
.
The
next
morning
,
the
Vizeroys
shippe
lying
formost
,
I
made
towards
him
,
but
my
Maister
and
Pilot
tolde
mee
that
I
could
not
reach
him
;
for
which
cause
I
made
to
the
Galion
Saint
Symon
,
that
yeelded
it selfe
vnto
mee
,
for
the
men
were
most
of
them
runne
from
him
:
the
Captaine
with
twenty
men
onely
remaining
in
her
:
out
of
her
I
tooke
foureteene
peeces
,
some
flesh
,
wine
,
and
pouder
,
and
so
set
it
on
fire
.
This
(
thankes
bee
vnto
GOD
)
was
the
successe
of
our
battaile
,
without
any
great
losse
of
men
,
wee
burnt
three
Gallions
,
wherein
many
Gentlemen
were
slaine
,
and
aboue
foure
hundred
Portingale
souldiers
,
as
I
was
after
informed
by
certaine
intercepted
letters
;
wee
our selues
made
our
victory
bloudy
,
for
our
men
were
so
diuilishly
giuen
so
seeke
after
prey
and
bootie
,
that
rowing
round
about
the
Gallion
that
burnt
,
they
fell
to
ransacking
the
men
that
swum
in
the
water
,
whereby
the
fire
got
into
the
powder
,
and
burnt
three
of
our
boates
,
wherein
wee
lost
foure
and
twenty
men
of
the
White
Lyon
,
eighteene
of
the
Black
Lion
,
eleuen
of
the
Vice-Admirall
,
seauen
of
the
Prouince
,
and
fiue
of
the
great
Sunne
.
God
forgiue
them
their
ouer-sight
.
The
eight
and
twentie
day
wee
went
againe
towards
Malacca
;
intending
to
burne
the
Vice-roy
and
the
Paule
,
but
as
wee
had
concluded
the
euening
before
to
performe
it
:
the
next
morning
the
Vice-roy
himselfe
caused
fire
to
bee
put
into
three
of
the
Gallions
,
so
great
was
their
feare
:
I
seeing
that
presently
retired
,
thinking
them
to
bee
fire
shippes
sent
for
to
burne
vs
.
After
that
I
made
agreement
to
release
the
Portingales
,
that
were
in
all
a
hundred
seauenty
fiue
,
and
as
many
Moores
,
vppon
condition
that
the
Viceroy
should
send
mee
all
my
Duch-men
that
were
prisoners
in
Mallacca
,
and
that
hee
had
in
any
place
within
the
Indies
;
and
that
three
Captaines
,
Christianus
Swarez
,
Andreas
Peso
,
and
Ferdinando
Marcado
,
should
pay
fiue
thousand
Ducats
for
their
ransome
,
which
should
bee
deuided
amongst
our
men
.
Which
accordingly
was
performed
,
beside
a
thousand
Ducats
which
are
not
yet
payd
,
for
two
Portingales
,
whereof
one
left
his
brother
with
me
in
hostage
:
This
money
I
deuided
amongst
the
Saylers
,
euery
one
hauing
fiue
ryals
of
eight
,
(
for
the
Ducats
make
but
sixe
ryals
)
to
make
them
the
willinger
to
sette
vppon
the
rest
of
the
Armado
that
was
gone
to
Nisobaer
.
The
chiefe
thing
worthy
the
noting
was
that
when
I
came
the
second
time
within
the
sight
of
Mallacca
,
there
rose
a
mutinie
in
some
of
the
ships
saying
that
they
would
not
fight
,
and
alledging
that
they
entred
not
into
seruice
to
that
end
,
saying
that
it
was
true
that
they
had
made
me
a
promise
to
make
a
triall
vpon
Nisobaer
but
that
they
said
was
performed
before
Mallacca
:
and
also
at
Capo
Rachado
,
as
they
supposed
:
the
most
part
of
them
yeelded
to
reason
,
but
those
of
the
Vice-Admirall
said
they
would
giue
eare
to
nothing
,
so
that
I
was
forced
to
vse
some
threatning
wordes
,
and
sayd
that
for
all
their
deniall
the
matter
should
not
goe
as
they
would
haue
it
,
and
so
willing
,
nilling
,
they
went
on
with
the
rest
.
Thus
I
went
with
all
the
shippes
to
Nisobaer
,
though
I
intended
to
haue
sent
the
White-Lyon
and
the
Vice-admirall
toward
;
Bantham
,
there
to
take
in
their
lading
,
and
the
next
yeare
to
bee
at
home
:
but
the
most
voyces
would
haue
vs
all
to
goe
together
to
Nisobaer
,
and
to
trie
whether
wee
could
seperat
their
shippes
,
which
wee
hoped
to
finde
all
dispersed
,
as
also
to
get
the
King
of
Queda
on
our
side
,
to
the
end
that
no
victuals
should
bee
carried
from
thence
to
Malacca
,
and
so
wee
came
before
Queda
.
The
nineteene
of
Nouember
I
offered
my
seruice
vnto
the
King
,
showing
him
that
I
was
come
thether
to
helpe
him
for
to
driue
the
Portingales
out
of
his
dominions
,
and
to
chase
them
from
his
Hauen
,
according
to
his
letters
written
vnto
mee
,
and
sent
to
Batasaner
,
and
that
I
was
desirous
to
lade
a
shippe
there
,
because
his
name
was
not
yet
knowne
in
our
countrey
,
which
I
sayd
would
tend
vnto
his
honor
and
profit
.
The
King
glad
to
heare
that
,
prayed
mee
to
helpe
him
to
take
a
Pourtugale
shippe
and
two
Fregattes
that
laye
in
the
riuer
:
Where-vpon
I
presently
sent
three
Boates
that
the
same
night
set
those
three
shippes
on
fire
,
after
that
the
Maleyes
had
taken
the
goods
unwares
out
of
them
,
for
I
charged
my
men
to
take
nothing
from
thence
,
there
I
tooke
a
praw
comming
from
Malacca
,
and
therein
some
letters
,
containing
that
their
Armado
was
not
farre
from
Paulo
Bouton
,
and
meant
to
sayle
to
the
Indies
the
fourth
of
December
:
therfore
I
made
hast
to
follow
them
,
before
that
the
foure
Fregattes
with
a
hundred
and
foure
and
twentie
men
and
munition
of
warre
,
should
come
vnto
them
,
and
ioyne
with
them
.
The
ninth
of
December
wee
gotte
to
Paulo
Bouton
,
and
saw
the
Armado
,
which
no
sooner
perceiued
vs
,
but
they
retyred
to
a
place
where
they
had
streame
and
winde
to
their
aduantage
,
and
made
themselues
fast
with
foure
cables
before
and
behinde
,
and
with
a
cable
that
reached
from
the
one
shippe
to
the
other
,
and
laye
in
such
manner
that
wee
could
not
come
neere
vnto
them
,
vnlesse
wee
would
winde
our selues
on
boord
of
them
in
the
night
,
I
sent
diuerse
shippes
vnto
them
,
but
could
doe
nothing
.
Then
wee
prepared
a
fire
ship
,
thinking
vnder
the
shotte
of
our
Cannon
to
gette
neere
them
,
but
it
would
not
bee
:
they
had
placed
all
their
Canon
on
the
one
side
,
and
in
the
midst
all
along
their
shippes
they
had
layd
Trees
and
Pipes
filde
vp
with
sand
,
and
had
in-sconsed
them-selues
in
such
manner
,
that
they
could
turne
and
winde
their
shippes
as
they
would
,
and
discharge
their
Cannon
at
their
pleasures
,
hauing
a
Northerlie
winde
that
blew
strongly
out
of
the
valleys
,
so
that
wee
sought
to
get
neere
vnto
them
.
When
wee
came
towards
the
point
of
the
land
,
it
was
there
calme
vnder
the
high
land
,
and
comming
neere
vnto
them
,
the
winde
blew
out
of
the
Valleys
,
so
that
if
wee
would
boord
them
,
wee
could
not
,
vnlesse
we
would
burne
our selues
with
them
,
which
they
desire
,
(
as
it
appeareth
by
the
letters
of
the
Vice-roy
)
for
they
make
their
reckoning
that
they
haue
wone
victory
enough
if
by
burning
of
two
of
their
shippes
,
they
burne
one
of
ours
:
for
the
King
cares
not
for
his
shippes
,
so
he
may
thereby
finde
the
meanes
to
hinder
the
Hollanders
from
their
Nauigation
.
It
was
not
good
for
vs
to
stay
there
any
longer
,
for
euery
day
wee
lost
our
anchors
,
so
that
our
resolution
was
to
go
to
Pulo
Lankeui
,
where
they
must
of
force
stay
,
if
they
would
goe
for
Mallacca
,
that
so
we
might
set
vpon
them
in
the
maine
Sea
.
The
twentith
day
lying
vnder
Lankeui
,
sixe
miles
from
Poulo
Bouton
,
wee
determined
to
send
the
white
Lyon
to
Queda
to
see
if
she
might
get
three
or
four
hundred
bales
of
Pepper
there
,
because
at
Dachin
shee
should
finde
lading
enough
to
serue
her
turne
:
But
they
could
get
nothing
in
Queda
:
For
when
they
begin
to
gather
the
new
Pepper
,
the
old
is
gone
,
which
is
worth
foure
and
twenty
ryalls
in
Cosgie
,
and
in
Ihor
,
and
so
went
to
the
rest
of
our
ships
againe
,
lying
vnder
Pulo
Lankeui
to
watch
for
the
Portingales
.
The
nine
and
twentith
day
the
King
of
Queda
(
after
that
I
burnt
the
Portugales
shippes
in
his
Riuer
)
caused
twenty
Portugales
to
bee
kild
,
thinking
so
to
doe
mee
a
great
pleasure
therein
,
because
I
had
sent
him
word
that
hee
should
shew
some
signes
by
his
actions
,
that
I
might
conceiue
him
to
be
my
good
friend
.
Your
Worshippes
may
iudge
hereby
what
affection
hee
beareth
vnto
the
Portugales
:
From
thence
there
is
nothing
to
bee
brought
away
but
Pepper
and
victuals
,
whereby
those
of
Mallacca
are
sustained
:
this
people
alwaies
hold
with
the
stronger
part
.
In
the
deliuering
of
the
Portingale
prisoners
vnto
the
Vice
roy
before
Mallacca
,
I
had
like
to
haue
bene
betrayed
,
for
whereas
I
was
so
liberal
that
I
gaue
a
hundred
and
seauenty
Portingales
,
and
as
many
Moores
,
for
fiue
or
sixe
of
my
men
which
they
had
(
but
I
reserued
the
Captaines
and
three
or
foure
more
for
to
get
the
three
thousand
ducats
afore-said
)
I
sent
a
note
by
a
Portingale
on
shoare
,
to
will
the
Vice-roy
to
send
mee
my
men
,
and
I
would
send
him
all
his
soldiers
hole
and
disseased
,
which
if
hee
refused
and
held
mee
in
suspence
,
I
said
I
would
cast
all
the
Portingales
ouer-boord
,
he
returned
with
a
note
,
whereby
the
Viceroy
willed
me
to
send
him
the
Portingales
,
&
sent
me
a
bill
of
all
their
names
both
soldiers
&
Captaines
&
all
others
that
were
in
my
hands
,
&
when
my
messenger
shewed
me
that
the
prisoners
were
in
danger
of
their
liues
;
Andrew
Hurtado
made
answer
let
him
kill
them
,
the
rest
will
fight
better
an
other
time
,
which
when
I
vnderstood
,
I
returned
the
messenger
presently
againe
with
this
answer
that
if
in
the
morning
before
Sunne
rising
hee
did
not
send
mee
all
my
Duch
men
I
would
kill
all
the
Portingales
;
for
I
perceiued
that
the
Viceroy
delaid
mee
off
;
hee
returning
brought
with
him
three
Duch-men
,
for
there
were
no
more
in
the
towne
,
the
rest
were
in
the
Armado
at
Poulo
Bouton
:
which
hee
promised
to
send
,
meane
time
I
had
call'd
a
Councell
togither
,
and
my
white
flagge
hung
out
,
and
certainly
if
hee
had
staid
but
two
houres
longer
,
these
hundred
and
seauenty
Portingales
had
beene
cast
ouer-boord
,
for
a
warning
vnto
them
,
not
to
mocke
with
vs
another
time
,
for
when
they
haue
their
desires
,
they
scoffe
at
vs
,
and
esteeme
vs
to
bee
men
that
know
not
the
course
of
the
world
,
and
that
dare
not
(
because
of
the
reuerence
wee
beare
vnto
them
)
offend
them
any-way
,
and
thus
the
boast
before
the
Indian
Princes
.
I
thought
to
haue
sent
a
letter
to
the
Viceroy
,
but
deferr'd
it
for
certaine
causes
,
vntill
some
fitter
time
,
to
let
him
vnderstand
that
wee
intended
to
make
warre-like
soldiers
,
and
that
if
hee
would
deale
hardlyer
with
my
men
that
hee
should
take
,
then
I
had
hether
to
done
with
his
,
hee
would
find
himselfe
greatly
deceiued
,
and
that
if
he
thought
to
stoppe
my
mouth
with
the
Inquisition
and
such
like
masquerados
,
and
so
keepe
and
consume
my
men
in
his
country
,
saying
that
hee
could
doe
nothing
against
th'
Inquisition
,
I
and
those
that
shal
come
after
mee
to
the
Indies
,
would
make
warre
against
th'
Inquisition
,
and
cast
all
their
shaueling
Fryers
ouer-boord
,
which
would
concerne
the
Inquisition
and
not
him
.
May
it
therefore
please
the
States
to
take
such
order
that
these
fellowes
may
no
longer
terrifie
vs
with
their
vizards
:
And
thus
much
I
caused
to
bee
sayd
vnto
the
Viceroy
him-selfe
by
the
Captaines
that
were
prisoners
.
Meane
time
I
sent
a
Praw
from
Queda
to
Pulo
Lankeui
with
one
of
my
men
in
it
,
to
see
whether
the
enemie
lay
still
at
Poulo-bouton
,
who
returned
answer
the
nine
and
twentith
day
,
that
they
were
yet
there
,
and
brought
two
boyes
prisoners
with
him
,
that
tolde
mee
that
they
had
sent
a
Galliot
to
Mallacca
to
haue
aduise
from
the
Viceroy
,
to
know
what
they
should
do
,
whither
they
shold
returne
to
the
Indies
or
to
Mallacca
,
for
they
durst
not
leaue
their
aduantage
,
without
command
:
they
said
also
,
that
when
I
thought
to
haue
set
on
them
with
the
fire-shippe
and
shotte
vppon
them
,
that
twenty
men
were
kild
in
the
Admirall
,
seauen
in
Iohn
Pintos
shippe
,
and
eight
in
Iacomo
de
Mararis
his
cousins
shippe
wherein
they
went
,
but
what
was
done
in
the
other
shippes
they
knew
not
.
I
perceiuing
that
there
was
no
lading
at
Queda
,
and
that
the
enemy
would
not
leaue
his
place
of
aduantage
,
and
that
my
time
drew
neere
to
go
to
the
Molucques
,
durst
not
stay
any
longer
,
for
Amboine
was
of
force
to
be
fortified
,
whilst
Ternate
was
taken
in
by
those
of
Manilles
,
where
the
Gouernor
Don
Pedro
de
Sousa
with
a
thousand
two
hundred
Spaniards
and
eight
hundred
Indians
was
come
,
and
had
taken
the
King
prisoner
.
Therefore
wee
concluded
,
that
the
Vice-admirall
with
the
White
Lyon
,
and
the
great
Sunne
,
should
goe
for
Achin
,
to
see
if
they
by
any
meanes
could
make
the
like
agreement
with
the
King
,
as
wee
had
made
with
the
King
of
Ihor
,
and
to
giue
the
White
Lion
her
full
lading
,
and
so
send
her
homeward
,
as
also
for
to
take
in
his
owne
lading
if
hee
might
,
if
not
to
goe
presently
for
Bantam
,
and
there
to
take
in
their
lading
,
and
so
to
returne
home-ward
,
if
hee
could
bee
ready
against
the
last
of
February
,
or
the
middle
of
March
at
the
furthest
,
and
to
send
the
great
Sunne
to
the
coastes
of
Cormandel
,
but
first
to
saile
by
Puncto
de
Galli
vnder
Celon
,
and
there
to
trafficke
and
stay
vntill
the
last
of
February
,
looking
for
the
shippes
of
Bengale
,
and
other
places
,
which
at
that
very
time
came
from
Couchien
,
and
then
were
to
goe
towards
Masolipatan
,
hoping
that
they
shall
finde
trafficke
enough
for
Pauwels
van
Sold
,
beeing
in
the
Shippe
called
Delfte
,
hath
(
as
I
vnderstood
of
the
Portugales
that
were
taken
before
Queda
)
gotten
three
hundred
bales
of
Cotten
,
linnen
painted
,
and
also
some
Pintados
.
I
intended
to
goe
the
inner
waye
to
Bantam
with
sixe
Ships
,
to
see
if
I
can
make
agreement
also
with
the
King
,
and
from
thence
to
take
our
voyage
towards
Amboyna
and
the
Molucques
,
for
Amboyna
must
necessarily
bee
fortified
,
and
wee
must
trie
once
againe
to
get
the
Molucques
.
Those
of
Banda
play
the
beasts
:
some
resolution
or
other
must
bee
taken
,
for
our
men
with
their
goods
,
that
are
there
not
assured
of
their
liues
,
and
the
goods
of
the
company
are
much
endangered
.
From
thence
we
will
make
towards
China
,
and
trye
what
we
can
doe
there
.
In
the
boate
which
I
tooke
before
Malacca
vpon
the
three
and
twentith
of
October
,
I
had
seuen
and
thirtie
bales
,
most
part
linnen
cloath
,
and
some
Spanish
Lether
,
whereof
seauen
I
sent
by
the
same
boate
to
Amboyna
,
with
foure
thousand
ryals
,
foure
and
forty
men
,
and
forty
Negros
,
and
the
halfe
part
of
his
lading
of
Rice
,
that
was
spoyled
:
and
to
goe
to
Maraza
to
buy
good
Rise
,
Flesh
,
and
some
Pintados
or
Cotton
,
Painted
cloath
,
for
to
carry
to
Amboina
,
and
to
tell
them
that
I
would
follow
after
them
in
the
end
of
December
:
The
other
seuenteene
Bales
I
gaue
to
our
Saylers
for
a
prize
,
with
a
Bale
of
thred
,
to
make
them
the
more
willinger
and
readier
to
fight
,
for
that
they
had
gotten
but
little
bootie
.
I
hope
we
shall
finde
lading
at
Amboina
and
Banda
,
for
the
Pintados
or
Cotton
cloath
of
Panwels
van
Sold
,
shall
no
doubt
haue
prepared
some-thing
for
vs
.
I
perceiue
full
well
that
wee
shall
haue
long
worke
to
doe
about
the
Molucques
,
and
that
the
time
will
fall
out
too
short
for
vs
to
goe
to
Mouson
in
China
;
but
time
will
teach
vs
what
is
to
bee
done
:
if
wee
assure
not
Amboina
,
all
our
labour
is
in
vaine
,
it
is
also
against
my
opinion
that
the
Spaniard
should
come
thether
.
The
Generall
Don
Pedro
de
Sousa
is
made
Marquis
of
Ternate
:
The
King
that
is
taken
is
carryed
to
the
West
Indies
,
but
his
sonne
is
leaft
with
the
King
of
Sidor
,
I
was
in
good
hope
to
haue
performed
some-thing
,
but
my
armie
is
too
much
weakened
,
and
I
finde
what
hurt
I
receiued
from
the
ship
that
was
burning
before
Malacca
,
for
there
I
lost
the
best
men
in
my
shippes
:
it
is
a
strange
thing
that
they
are
so
rashlye
and
rudely
giuen
to
the
spoile
,
yet
notwithstanding
I
must
bee
content
and
holde
my
peace
.
Your
worships
may
hereby
perceiue
,
how
wee
haue
behaued
our selues
these
nine
moneths
here
in
the
Straights
,
some-time
fortunately
,
and
sometime
crossely
,
but
alwayes
haue
done
the
best
we
could
,
following
your
worships
councell
.
I
neuer
wanted
will
nor
courage
to
doe
any
seruice
for
my
countrie
,
and
though
I
haue
not
done
as
I
would
or
desired
,
yet
I
haue
performed
what
I
could
,
as
it
is
manifest
by
the
premises
.
I
comfort
my selfe
with
this
saying
:
That
it
is
enough
in
great
matters
to
will
well
,
the
Tree
falls
not
at
the
first
blow
:
if
I
could
haue
ouer-throwne
those
seauen
shippes
that
lay
still
at
Paulo
Bouton
,
our
time
had
beene
well
spent
,
but
wee
thought
it
not
expedient
to
spendall
our
powder
and
munition
.
Wee
haue
yet
a
long
iourney
to
make
,
wee
must
not
bee
too
prodigall
:
I
haue
written
my
whole
minde
to
the
generall
companie
,
what
meanes
there
are
to
beginne
warre
againe
.
The
Almightie
GOD
giue
vs
a
prosperous
voyage
,
that
all
our
endeuours
may
tend
to
the
good
of
our
natiue
countrey
,
and
of
the
worshipfull
company
.
