The

had
againe
a
stout
gale

The

towards

it
lightned
and
thundred
mightily
,

séemed
to

,
as

that
seetheth
on

committed

we
met
with
a
contrarie
winde
,
and
we
kept
our
course
for
the
most
part
South
east
:
the
same
day
we
saw
many
Whales
.
The
20
day
we
had
store
of
raine
,
with
thunder
and
lightning
,
at
which
time
the
Vice
Admiralles
fore-top-mast
was
broken
in
three
peeces
:
the
same
day
the
wind
changed
,
so
that
we
held
our
course
East
Northeast
,
making
good
way
.
The
22.
day
of
the
sayd
month
,
the
ship

the
Zeland
returned
to
our
fleete
,
which
was
about

dayes
after

so
that
now
wee
were
fiue

.
The
24.
of

,
the
companie
of
the
Zealand
fetched
another
mast
out

for

saw
wee
could
not
passe
the
necke
land
of

,
therefore
we
ankered
neere
vnto

without
The
17.
day
wee
had
sight
of
an
Island
,
called
Ile
de
Cerne
,
which
seemed
to
be
verie
hillie
,
so
that
we
had
good
hope
there
to
find
fresh
water
,
whereby
wée
were
al
greatly
reioyced
,
for
our
ships
began
to
be
vexed
with
the
skuruie
disease
.
The
18.
day
in
the
morning
,
wée
rowed
with
two
boates
towards
the
shoare
of
the
Isle
de
Cerne
to
sée
if
we
might
there
find
any
fresh
water
,
or
releefe
of
victualles
:
and
comming
néere
the
land
,
wee
rowed
along
the
shoare
,
but
could
not
find
any
open
place
conuenient
for
landing
:
whereupon
our
boate
with
the
Committees
went
aboord
the
Vice-Admirall
,
where
it
was
appoynted
that
our
boate
should
row
to
another
part
of
the
Island
,
to
search
for
some
conuenient
place
of
landing
:
whereupon
(
the
boate
manned
with
seuen
men
,
after
they
had
rowed
to
shoare
and
made
diligent
search
)
found
a
very
faire
ciosed
hauen
,
where
fiftie
ships
might
lie
,
defended
from
all
winds
,
and
good
ground
for
ankeridge
:
towards
the
euening
the
boate
returned
,
and
came
aboord
the
Vice
Admirall
,
bringing
with
them
eight
or
nine
great
birds
,
and
many
small
,
which
they
had
taken
with
their
hands
:
also
they
found
there
very
faire
and
swéete
water
,
that
came
from
the
hilles
,
which
caused
great
ioy
in
the
shippes
among
our
people
,
that
they
might
haue
their
bellies
ful
of
fresh
water
.
This
hauen
is
the
fairest
and
fittest
that
a
man
may
possibly
find
for
refreshing
.
And
the
ninetéenth
day
we
went
further
vp
into
the
Island
,
where
we
found
passing
good
ground
to
anker
and
rode
at
,
fouretéene
fadome
clay
ground
.
The
20.
day
the
most
part
of
all
the
people
went
a
shoare
,
where
they
heard
a
Sermon
made
by
a
Minister
of
the
Vice-Admirals
shippe
.
It
was
now
iust
foure
moneths
and
twentie
dayes
,
since
wee
had
set
foote
on
any
shoare
,
and
that
day
we
had
double
allowance
of
wine
,
for
a
remembrance
of
the
Faire
kept
the
same
day
at
Amsterdam
:
and
the
same
day
we
did
nothing
(
because
it
was
Sunday
)
but
heard
two
Sermons
in
the
morning
and
at
afternoone
,
praysing
and
giuing
heatlie
thankes
vnto
Almightie
God
,
that
he
had
conducted
vs
to
this
wished
place
of
refreshing
,
for
if
wee
had
not
found
this
place
,
many
a
man
had
not
liued
to
tell
what
hee
had
séene
,
for
the
scuruie
disease
beganne
mightily
to
vexe
our
people
,
and
our
water
for
the
most
part
stunke
,
and
was
as
blacke
as
kennell
water
,
and
(
as
the
Pilot
affirmed
)
wee
were
then
500.
leagues
from
Bantam
:
wee
named
this
Island
Mauritius
.
The
21.
of
the
same
month
in
the
morning
,
our
boate
rowed
to
another
place
of
the
Island
,
to
sée
if
they
could
find
any
inhabitants
:
in
the
end
they
came
to
a
fresh
riuer
which
descended
from
the
mountaines
,
but
they
could
not
sée
any
people
in
the
land
.
At
this
place
wee
fetched
our
water
:
for
a
man
may
row
in
with
a
boat
,
and
with
ease
strike
the
same
into
the
boate
,
so
that
it
is
a
maruailous
commodious
place
to
water
.
In
this
riuer
our
people
tooke
so
great
quantitie
of
fowle
,
as
they
were
all
able
to
eate
,
for
when
we
came
neere
them
,
they
sate
still
,
and
could
not
flie
from
vs
,
so
that
we
with
our
handes
might
easily
take
them
:
whereby
wee
noted
that
the
land
was
not
inhabited
.
The
23.
day
certaine
of
our
people
went
out
with
a
small
boate
to
fish
with
a
net
,
which
the
Vice-Admirall
had
brought
with
him
,
for
there
was
excéeding
great
plentie
of
fish
.
The
24.
day
certaine
were
appoynted
to
row
with
a
long
boate
to
the
land
,
to
search
if
they
could
finde
any
other
hole
or
place
to
come
forth
,
beside
the
same
which
we
had
alreadie
passed
,
by
reason
that
the
wind
was
contrarie
,
so
that
wee
could
not
returne
the
same
way
wee
came
.
The
25.
day
some
that
had
beene
sent
abroad
returned
,
but
they
found
not
any
people
in
the
land
:
the
same
day
all
of

with
great
diligence
carried
water
aboord
our
shippes
.

,
some
of
our
people
returned
(
which
had
béene
sent
into
the
land
)
without
any
desired
newes
,
but
onely
that
they
had
found
a
place
where
many
Cokar-trees
grew
,
bringing
some
of
the
nuttes
with
them
,
and
we
furnished
our selues
with
fresh
water
.
The
30.
day
some
of
our
people
went
a
shoare
to
get
Cokar-nuts
,
at
which
time
we
had

A

of

THe

Hollanders
Mauritius
,
lyeth

degrees
to

and
is
in
compasse
some
sixe
miles
or

,
verie
little
more
or

Such
as

into

leauing
the
sixe
small

on

kéeping

On
the
left
side
of
vs
lay
a
small
Island
,
which
we
named
the
Island
of
Hem●
kerken
,
and
the
bay
of
the
sayd
Island
of
Cerne
,
we
called
after
the
name
of
our
Vice-Admirall
,
The
bay
of
Warwick
:
it
hath
a
very
faire
hauen
,
where
fiftie
shippes
may
lie
,
defended
from
all
windes
and
weather
.
This
foresaid
Island
Mauritius
is
not
inhabited
,
nor
neuer
was
,
by
all
that
we
could
iudge
,
for
many
and
often
times
we
ranne
vp
into
the
countrie
,
and
found
no
people
:
but
we
iudged
by
the
tamenesse
of
the
birds
and
fowles
that
it
must
bee
an
vnfrequented
place
,
by
reason
that
men
might
take
them
plentifully
with
their
hands
.
It
is
a
verie
hie
hillie
land
,
so
that
for
the
most
part
it
is
couered
with
cloudes
,
and
somtimes
there
passeth
such
a
smoke
or
mist
ouer
the
land
,
that
a
man
can
hardly
see
Also
it
hath
Palmites

greatly
We
landed
in
this
Island
almost
all
our
people
,
and
found
the
same
to
be
verie
good
and
healthsome
,
so
that
we
erected
there
some
tents
and
cabbins
,
wherin
we
laid
our
sicke
and
diseased
,
which
we
brought
from
our
ships
,
and
there
remained
vntill
they
were
recouered
,
which
was
in
verie
short
time
:
whereby
wee
noted
,
that
this
Island
was
of
a
sweete
and
wholesome
ayre
.
After
wee
were
all
landed
,
wee
had
a
Sermon
in
the
forenoone
,
and
another
in
the
afternoone
,
thanking
,
and
praysing
God
,
that
hee
had
brought
vs
to
a
place
of
so
good
refreshing
for
if
we
had
not
come
to
this
place
,
many
of
vs
had
not
liued
to
tell
newes
,
for
the
scuruie
disease
beganne
mightily
to
raigne
among
our
people
,
and
our
water
for
the
most
part
stunke
,
and
was
as
blacke
as
kennell
water
:
this
happened
iust
when
in
foure
months
and
twentie
dayes
before
we
had
not
set
footing
vpon
any
land
.
Being
now
in
the
Isle
Mauritius
,
we
rowed
with
one
of
our
boates
to
another
place
of
the
land
,
to
search
what
inhabitants
wee
could
find
,
but
found
none
,
onely
wee
came
to
a
fresh
riuer
,
which
fell
from
the
mountaines
,
where
we
tooke
in
fresh
water
for
our
ships
.
Some
of
our
companie
went
a
fishing
in
a
small
Here
are
great
numbers
of
Torteyses
,
which
are
so
big
,
that
4
of
vs
might
stand
vpon
some
one
Torteyse
,
and
yet
it
crept
away
with
vs
,
in
the
shelles
or
shieldes
whereof
,
tenne
of
vs
haue
had
roome
to
sit

This
Island
is
very
fruitfull
,
and
plentifull
of
fowles
,
There
are
yet
other
sorts
of
fowles
good
to
bee
eaten
,
which
are
called
Rabos
Forcados
,
because
their
tayles
are
like
in
fashion
to
a
taylers
shéeres
.
These
fowles
are
so
tame
,
that
a
man
may
take
them
with
his
hands
as
they
sate
on
their
nest
,
and
also
kill
them
with
staues
and
cudgels
,
insomuch
that
in
the
space
of
one
halfe
howre
,
we
could
fill
a
boate
with
them
:
whereby
we
presumed
that
there
had
neuer
béene
any
people
in
the
Island
,
for
the
birdes
shunned
no
man
,
yea
,
they
scarcely
would
forbeare
to
come
and
sit
on
our
heades
,
and
so
suffer
themselues
to
bee
taken
.
In
this
Island
we
did
set
vp
a
Smithes
sorge
,
where
our
Smith
made
and
mended
some
Iron
workes
,
and
the
Shipwrights
made
also
a
boate
for
the
Vtricht
,
for
she
had
lost
her
boat
before
Saint
Laurence
Island
.
In
this
Isle
de
Cerne
before
mentioned
,
we
found
about
300.
pound
waight
of
waxe
,
whereon
stood
Gréeke
Letters
.
We
found
also
a
Netting
,
with
a
Capsten
bar
,
and
a
great
Maineyard
:
whereby
iudged
,
that
some
ship
had
there
suffered
wracke
.
In
this
Island
,
our
Vice-Admirall
caused
a
shield
of
wood
to
be
made
&
fastned
to
a
trée
,
to
the
end
that
if
any
Christianos
Reformados
,
reformed
Christians
,
with
the
armes
of
Holland
,
Zealand
,
and
Amsterdam
.
Also
there
is
in
this
Island
a
very
large
plain
,
wherof
our
Vice-Admirall
caused
a
garden
to
be
made
,
&
paled
it
round
about
,
&
after
did
sow
and
plant
al
sorts
of
fruits
,
to
proue
if
they
would
there
grow
&
increase
.
Our
ships
also
left
some
Hens
there
,
to
proue
whether
they
would
there
increase
or
not
.
Sundry
times
we
sent
of
our
folk
vp
into
the
Island
,
to
vnderstand
if
there
were
any
inhabitants
on
the
further
side
of
the
Island
:
they
were
sometimes
3.
or
4.
dayes
out
before
they
returned
,
but
they
neither
saw
nor
heard
of
any
,
no
not
of
any
4.
footed
beasts
.

further
and
more
particular
declaration
of
the
Island
de
Cerne
,
otherwise
called
Mauritius
,
No.
1.
THis
is
the
entrance
of
the
Isle
Mauritius
,
lying
East
Northeast
.
A
wilde
Palm-tree
,
which
wee
set
here
for
a
Beacon
,
if
perhaps
any
ship
should
chaunce
to
arriue
here
.
The
Crosses
are
all
rocks
,
which
lie
vnder
the
water
.
Is
a
little
Island
,
where
wee
gathered
Indian
Nuttes
.
These
are
swéete
riuers
,
where
we
caught
such
plenty
of
fish
with
our
cock-boate
,
that
somtimes
we
had
50
fishes
at
one
draught
(
which
we
named
Trenchors
by
reason
of
their
flatnes
)
together
with
many
other
smal
fishes
of
diuers
sorts
,
so
that
oftentimes
we
thought
that
our
net
would
breake
,
and
with
our
ship-boate
we
were
oftentimes
forced
to
helpe
them
to
vnlade
the
cocke
,
because
they
could
not
without
great
labour
and
danger
of
sinking
,
bring
the
cocke
aboord
:
and
(
which
is
very
strange
)
they
swom
in
such
innumerable
multitudes
hard
along
the
shoare
,
that
men
might
take
them
with
their
hands
as
they
stood
on
the
land
,
yea
,
oftentimes
we
killed
them
with
our
halfe-pikes
.
This
is
a
fresh
riuer
,
where
wee
filled
our
water
with
our
boate
:
and
heere
wee
caught
a
Thornebacke
which
was
almost
three
yards
in
compasse
,
besides
her
taile
,
so
that
our
people
had
much
to
doe
to
get
it
into
the
boate
.
Our
Vice-Admirall
sayled
about
this
corner
or
necke
of
the
land
for
his
pleasure
,
&
caused
Oringes
,
Lemons
,
peason
,
beanes
,
and
all
kind
of
other
graine
to
bee
sowed
,
which
he
had
in
the
shippe
,
to
see
if
the
same
would
grow
well
there
or
no
,
to
the
end
the
same
might
hereafter
serue
for
refreshing
of
such
as
should
chaunce
to
come
thither
.
These
are
small
Islands
,
against
which
the
Sea
masheth
sometimes
casting
vpon
the
land
many
Torteyses
.
A
repetition
or
more
plaine
manifestation
,
of
such
things
as
we
found
and
saw
in
the
Island
Mauritius
,
and
of
such
matters
as
we
there
did
in
the
time
of
our
abode
.
No.

These
are
Torteyses
which
liue
on
the
land
,
and
haue
no
finnes
to
swimme
,
being
so
great
,
that
they
will
créepe
away
with
a
man
standing
on
their
shelles
,
which
they
carrie
on
their
backs
,
&
they
liue
vpon
crabs
,
which
are
as
bigge
as
a
mans
foote
.
Is
a
fowle
altogether
as
bigge
as
a
Swanne
,
hauing
two
or
thrée
curled
feathers
behinde
at
her
taile
,
without
any
wings
,
but
in
place
of
wings
they
haue
thrée
or
foure
smal
black
Quils
:
of
which
fowle
we
caught
some
,
with
store
of
Turtle
Doues
,
and
other
birds
,
which
our
Marriners
with
great
ioy
brought
aboord
,
dealing
to
euery
ship
part
of
their
wild
fowle
,
after
they
were
first
sent
ashore
to
search
for
the
déepest
fresh
riuers
,
and
what
harbour
there
was
for
our
shippes
:
whereupon
the
next
day
wee
went
to
the
hauen
with
our
shippes
,
taking
one
of
those
Marriners
into
euerie
shippe
for
a
Pilot
,
which
had
béene
a
shore
the
day
before
.
These
fowles
we
dressed
and
sod
,
but
we
found
them
so
tough
,
that
we
could
not
(
how
long
soeuer
they
sod
)
séethe
them
tender
,
but
were
faine
to
eate
them
so
tough
as
they
were
.
As
soone
as
wee
were
entred
into
the
Hauen
,
our
Vice-Admirall
sent
some
of
vs
with
the
long
boate
ashore
,
to
spie
if
there
were
any
inhabitants
in
the
Iland
,
but
wee
found
no
creatures
,
except
onely
great
quantitie
of
Turtle
Doues
,
and
other
birds
,
whereof
we
caught
,
and
killed
with
cudgels
,
great
numbers
:
for
seeing
they
had
not
beene
accustomed
to
be
feared
by
any
people
there
inhabiting
,
they
had
no
feare
of
vs
,
but
would
sit
still
,
suffering
themselues
to
bee
killed
with
staucs
and
cudgels
.
To
be
short
,
it
is
a
plentifull
land
of
fish
and
fowle
,
and
so
abundant
,
that
in
all
our
voyage
we
found
not
the
like
.
This
is
a
Palme
trée
,
which
carrieth
leaues
so
great
,
that
a
man
may
shrowd
himselfe
with
one
of
them
from
the
raine
,
and
not
be
wet
:
if
in
this
trée
a
hole
bee
bored
,
and
a
quill
or
tap
put
into
the
same
,
immediately
there
runneth
out
wine
or
liquour
,
hauing
a
swéete
and
pleasant
taste
like
vnto
sacke
,
but
if
it
bee
kept
thrée
or
foure
dayes
,
it
waxeth
Towre
,
and
therefore
it
is
called
the
Palme
trée
.
This
is
a
bird
or
fowle
,
which
we
called
Rabos
Forcados
,
for
that
their
tayles
are
in
shape
resembling
a
Taylers
sheeres
:
they
were
very
tame
,
and
little
lesse
then
a
fadome
long
,
when
they
were
stretched
out
:
their
bils
are
long
,
their
backes
most
part
blacke
,
and
their
breasts
white
:
they
eate
flying
fishes
which
they
catch
,
and
the
guttes
or
garbell
of
other
fish
and
fowle
,
as
wee
found
by
experience
:
for
when
we
cast
abroad
our
garbell
of
such
fish
and
fowle
as
we
had
taken
,
yea
of
their
owne
kind
,
they
would
straight
wayes
come
and
deuoure
the
same
:
their
flesh
would
not
be
sodden
tender
.
Is
a
bird
,
which
we
named
an
Indian
Kauen
,
almost
as
big
againe
as
a
Parret
,
they
are
of
two
or
thrée
sundrie
colours
.
Is
a
wild
trée
,
whereon
(
for
a
memorie
if
any
other
ships
should
there
arriue
)
is
nayled
a
board
,
hauing
thrée
srutcheons
or
armes
grauen
or
cut
thereon
,
so
wit
,
the
armes
of
Holland
,
Zealand
and
Austerdam
:
to
the
end
they
may
know
that
ships
of
Holland
haue
béene
at
that
place
.
This
is
a
Palmites
trée
,
where
of
our
Marriners
cut
downe
many
and
cut
out
the
pith
(
marked
with
the
letter
A
)
which
we
found
to
be
an
excellent
remedie
against
the
scuruie
disease
:
it
is
some
thrée
or
foure
foote
long
,
within
very
white
,
and
hath
a
sweete
taste
.
Some
of
our
people
ate
the
pith
of
7.
or
8.
of
these
plants
.
A
Bat
or
flying
Mouse
,
hauing
a
head
like
vnto
a
Monkie
,
and
flie
in
this
Iland
in
great
numbers
,
they
hang
themselues
on
the
〈◊〉
by
the
wings
,
and
often
times
they
fight
and
bite
one
the
other
.
Here
our
Smith
set
vp
a
forge
to
repaire
our
broken
iron
workes
,
and
such
other
things
as
were
needfull
to
be
mended
abeard
the
ships
.
These
are
cottages
made
by
vs
of
trées
and
boughes
,
where
our
Smith
and
Coopers
did
forge
and
hoope
their
Caske
,
that
we
might
bee
readie
to
sayle
thence
with
the
first
faire
wind
.
At
this
place
our
Preacher
made
euerie
Sunday
two
Sermons
:
in
the
morning
one
half
of
our
people
went
ashore
,
and
at
afternoone
the
other
halfe
,
to
heare
the
sermon
.
In
this
place
was
a
man
Christened
,
borne
in
the
Iland
of
Madagascar
,
and
named
Laurence
,
with
one
or
two
of
our
company
which
had
not
béene
christened
.
Here
we
tooke
so
great
abundance
of
fish
,
that
it
may
séeme
incredible
to
be
written
,
yea
at
one
draft
we
tooke
two
barrels
and
a
halfe
of
many
sorts
.
To
the
gentle
Reader
.
IT
is
to
be
vnderstood
(
Gentle
Reader
)
that
all
the
eight
shippes
kept
companie
,
vntill
they
came
neere
to
the
C.
de
Bona
Esperance
,
where
they
were
parted
and
seuered
by
tempests
and
foule
weather
,
namely
the
eight
day
of
August
,
1598.
but
these
fiue
ships
kept
together
,
to
wit
,
the
Amsterdam
,
the
Zealand
,
the
Gelderland
,
the
Vtrecht
,
and
the
great
Pinnase
called
Freesland
,
which
happened
to
fall
with
the
Island
Mauritius
,
where
we
lay
foureteene
dayes
,
without
any
knowledge
what
was
become
of
the
other
three
shippes
,
the
Mauritius
our
Admirall
,
the
Hollandia
,
and
of
the
small
Pinnase
called
the
Ouer-Ysel
,
which
three
shippes
came
from
the
Island
of
Saint
Marie
,
and
from
thence
sailed
to
Bantam
.
Of
which
three
shippes
we
will
make
some
relation
,
and
of
such
matters
as
befell
them
in
the
Island
of
Saint
Marie
,
at
Bantam
,
and
in
their
returne
.
After
that
these
thrée
shippes
were
parted
and
seuered
In
this
Island
we
found
not
any
great
matter
,
comming
thither
in
a
time
out
of
season
,
for
the
Orringes
were
but
blossomed
,
and
the
Lemons
verie
small
,
but
we
found
some
Sugar
Canes
,
Hennes
,
and
such
like
:
And
the
people
of
the
Countrey
came
to
vs
with
two
or
three
small
Oringes
.
Here
we
saw
a
strange
manner
of
Our
Indian
,
whose
name
was
Madagascar
,
might
haue
remained
at
this
place
,
but
hee
excused
himselfe
,
that
he
would
rather
go
with
vs
apparrelled
,
then
remain
in
a
place
naked
where
he
was
vnknowne
.
Wee
went
vp
the
fresh
riuer
with
our
long
boate
,
to
seeke
for
fresh
victuals
,
but
the
people
of
the
Countrey
made
signes
vnto
vs
to
returne
,
for
that
there
was
nothing
here
to
be
had
:
yet
wee
rowed
thrée
leagues
higher
,
but
wee
sped
according
to
the
sayings
of
the
Indians
.
This
scarcitie
was
by
reason
that
the
Kings
of
the
Island
had
warre
,
whereby
all
things
were
spoyled
and
wasted
,
insomuch
that
the
inhabitants
themselues
dyed
with
hunger
and
penurie
.
One
of
their
Kings
was
slaine
,
wherefore
wee
stayed
there
but
fiue
dayes
:
but
sayling
from
thence
,
we
directed
our
course
towards
Iaua
,
and
with
Gods

at

with

in
the
end
we
arriued
with
great
celeritie
before

,
the
26.
day
of

,
1598.
As
soone
as
we
were
come

Bantam
,
we
practised
Graue

,
which
were
with
great
reuerence
and
créeping
on
their

receiued

After
that
all
these
matters
were
finished
,
we
began
to
buy
and
sell
with
those
of
Bantam
,
insomuch
that
the
4.
day
after

we
began
to
lade

before
the
end

5.
weekes
the
ships
were
almost
laden

Thus
after
we
had
remained
there
some
foure
wéeks
,
our
other
5.
ships
came
sailing
towards
vs
in
good
safety
,
hauing
none
of
their
people
,
or
but
very
few
sicke

Then
we
put
out
our
flags

and
streamers
,
saluting
each

with

great
ordinance
in

the

is
to

all

foure

being
fully
laden
,
gaue
notice
to
all
men
of

,
that
they
would
depart

to

to

the

they
thundred
such
a
peale
of
ordinance
,
that
it
was
heard
ouer
all
the
Iland
,
and
the
whole
towne
of
Bantam
was
vp
in
armes
,
not
knowing
what
the
meaning
thereof
was
:
and
thus
these
eyght
ships
parted
from
cath
other
.
The
people
of
Bantam
were
very
glad
that
they
were
gone
:
for
euerie
day
they
would
inquire
of
vs
when
wee
would
depart
:
and
to
hasten
our
departure
,
they
vsed
all
diligence
to
deliuer

such
wares
as
we
had
bought
,
for
it
was
nothing
at
all
pleasant
vnto
them
,
to
sée

lie
there
with
eight
ships
together
.
The
foure
ships
aforesaid
sayled
from

came
to
the
Iland
of

they
refreshed

there
they
found
a
Church
,
wherein
were
some
celles

,
with
the
Image
of
Saint
Helena
:
there
was
also
an
holy
water
vessell
,
with
a

wee
left
all
things
as
we
found
them

with
certaine
writings

memories
of
our
being
there

the

saw

and
very
much

.
The
The
6.
day
of
the
said
Moneth
in
the
afternoone
,
there
came
néere
vnto
our
ship
a
spoute
,
which
is
a
whirle
wind
that
taketh
and
carrieth
the
water
vp
out
of
the
sea
,
which
falling
into
a
ship
,
will
carrie
away
all
things
that
are
loose
,
and
indaunger
the
ship
:
wherefore
we
tooke
in
our
sailes
with
all
spéed
,
tearing
least
perhaps
they
might
therby
receiue
some
dammage
,
&
in
striking
of
the
maine
yard
,
our
principall
sayle-maker
,
called
Ioost
Janson
of
Amsterdam
,
looking
ouer-boord
,
to
sée
if
any
part
of
the
sayle
hung
in
the
water
,
suddenly
(
as
he
was
putting
his
head
ouer
the
ships
side
)
the
mayne
yarde
fell
loose
from
the
mast
aboue
,
and
smote
the
said
Ioost
Ianson
on
his
head
starke
dead
,
which
was
a
great
mischance
,
and
he
was
the
first
man
that
dyed
this
voyage
in
that
ship
.
The
7.
day
in
the
morning
we
cast
the
said
Ioost
Ianson
ouer-boord
.
The
9.
day
his
goods
were
sold
before
the
maine
mast
,
which
were
well
solde
,
for
that
one
Ryail
of
8.
was
accounted
for
8.
Gildernes
and
a
halfe
.
The
same
day
wee
were
put
to
our
first
allowance
of
Oyle
,
to
wit
,
wéekely
two
Mutskins
,
which
maketh
of
our
wine
measure
about
halfe
a
pinte
.
The
12.
day
the
Vice-Admirall
came
aboord
our
ship
to
minister
iustice
,
which
was
the
first
execution
of
iustice
that
he
did
in
these
ships
.
The
same
day
we
had
sight
of
an
Island
,
and
were
in
the
night
come
néere
to
the
land
before
we
wist
thereof
,
for
it
was
a
very
low
land
:
then
we
discharged
a
péece
to
warne
the
other
ships
thereof
,
&
then
wended
and
put
roome-ward
.
The
13
day
we
saw
thrée
other
small
Ilands
,
wherevpon
the
little
Pinnase
sayled
that
euening
before
vs
,
to
see
if
we
might
saile
on
the
farther
side
of
one
of
the
Ilands
or
not
,
but
the
water
was
too
shallow
,
for
there
lay
out
a
great
necke
or
corner
of
the
Island
,
therefore
wee
cast
about
to
seaward
,
and
the
same
euening
we
cast
our
sounding
lead
in
the
first
quarter
,
and
had
20.
faddome
,
and
casting
the
lead
againe
,
found
but
15.
faddome
,
the
third
time
11.
faddome
,
and
the
fourth
time
9.
faddome
,
insomuch
that
we
were
in
great
danger
of
the
sholes
,
but
God
preuented
the
same
,
for
we
held
our
ship
turning
,
and
suddenly
came
into
the
deepe
,
escaping
the
great
danger
wee
were
in
,
to
lose
our
ship
and
our
liues
:
for
,
doubting
greatly
that
we
should
méet
with
great
stormes
and
tempests
betwéene
the
Islands
,
we
were
drawne
out
of
the
right
way
,
and
brought
into
this
error
.
The
15.
day
wee
had
againe
shallowe
water
at
13.
faddome
,
but
wee
were
out
of
sight
of
any
land
,
which
was
a
great
wonder
to
finde
such
a
shallow
in
the
Sea
so
farre
from
any
shore
,
for
we
could
not
sée
any
land
at
all
.
The
same
day
,
we
had
againe
a
faire
winde
,
so
that
we
must
hale
in
our
sheates
,
and
set
our
course
East
and
by
South
,
and
East
Southeast
:
the
same
day
we
shot
a
great
Toonny
,
whereof
there
were
in
that
place
very
many
,
wherewith
we
made
good
chéere
.
The
16.
day
of
the
saide
moneth
in
the
morning
,
wée
had
sight
of
another
Island
,
so
that
we
let
slip
our
sheates
to
sayle
beyond
it
.
This
Iland
stretcheth
to
the
South
and
North
,
and
lyeth
very
low
,
and
pleasantly
to
sée
to
:
in
the
euening
we
were
past
this
Island
,
and
pulled
in
again
our
sheates
:
we
held
our
course
most
East
and
by
South
,
and
East
Southeast
.
The
22.
day
in
the
afternoone
wee
had
much
rayne
with
a
stouts
gale
of
winde
,
so
that
wée
were
constrayned
to
take
in
our
top-sailes
,
the
same
night
it
lightened
wonderfully
.
The
24.
day
the
Vice-Admiral
gaue
signe
by
putting
out
his
streamer
or
banderoll
,
that
all
the
Pilots
should
come
aboord
him
,
to
take
counsell
together
what
course
were
best
to
be
kept
.
The
25.
26.
and
27.
dayes
,
wee
had
very
still
and
calme
weather
,
but
towards
the
euening
the
wind
came
South
southwest
,
and
wee
helde
our
course
most
East
southeast
.
The
28.
day
in
the
morning
the
wind
slacked
,
and
we
directed
our
course
East
,
and
East
,
and
by
North
:
wee
turned
by
the
wind
,
the
weather
being
very
faire
,
in
the
night
the
winde
came
Westerly
,
so
that
we
shaped
our
course
East
southeast
,
and
Southeast
and
by
East
.
The
30.
day
the
Vice-Admirals
preacher
came
aboord
our
shippe
,
where
hee
made
vnto
vs
a
godly
and
learned
Sermon
.
The
first
day
of
December
we
had
the
wind
faire
,
and
The
2.
4.
5.
6.
and
7.
dayes
we
had
calme
and
still
weather
,
with
variable
winds
,
and
some
while
a
pretie
little
gale
,
and
sometimes
small
showres
of
rayne
:
this
day
we
might
beholde
squales
and
snakes
driuing
in
the
water
,
whereby
we
knew
that
we
were
néere
vnto
the
land
.
The
8.
day
wee
had
also
mutable
windes
with
some
small
showres
and
gusts
of
rayne
,
with
thunder
,
the
weather
being
very
still
and
calme
,
and
towards
the
euening
it
began
to
blow
a
fine
swéete
gale
from
the
West
northwest
,
so
that
we
haled
in
our
sheates
,
and
held
our
course
East
southeast
:
the
same
night
a
flying
fish
came
flying
into
our
ship
.
The
9.
day
it
blew
a
fine
gale
,
the
wind
westerly
,
and
we
held
our
course
for
the
most
part
East
Southeast
:
about
noonetide
one
of
our
company
fell
from
the
sprit-saile
yard
,
and
was
drowned
,
for
before
we
could
hoyse
out
our
boat
,
he
sunke
:
his
name
was
Gerbrand
Iacobszen
of
Alckmar
,
and
a
common
marriner
.
There
fell
another
ouer-boord
also
,
who
was
one
of
the
vnder
Shipwrights
,
and
was
browned
with
the
other
.
His
name
was
Tymon
Ianszen
of
Amsterdam
;
so
that
this
day
we
lost
two
of
our
company
.
The
same
day
also
dyed
one
aboord
the
Vice-Admirall
,
and
one
aboord
the
Pinnase
:
Thus
in
this
one
day
we
lost
foure
men
in
in
our
fléete
of
fiue
ships
.
The
10.
day
the
wind
continued
fayre
,
shaping
our
course
most
East
Southeast
,
the
weather
faire
:
at
noone
we
tooke
the
height
,
and
found
we
were
eight

sound

depth
,
but
returned
the
next
morning
to
the
ships
with
small
intelligence
,
by
reason
that
there
grew
a
great
storme
.
The
26.
day
,
the
Admirall
and
the
Vtrecht
came
vnto
vs
,
casting
their
Ankers
vnder
the
land
of
Iaua
and
Madura
:
for
the
water
is
very
shallow
before
the
straight
of
Madura
,
insomuch
that
our
Admiral
sate
al
the
night
aground
,
not
receiuing
any
hurt
at
all
,
for
it
was
in
that
place
a
very
soft
clay
ground
.
The

wee
and
Melcknap
sayled
The
same
day
at
noone
wee
cast
our
Ankers
betweene
Madura
,
and
the
Land
of
Iaua
,
to
wit
,
in
the
straight
of
Madura
,
where
a
mightie
streame
runneth
,
so
that
wee
were
forced
to
stay
for
the
Tyde
:
at
afternoone
wee
sayled
thence
,
and
towards
the
euening
let
fall
our
Ankers
before
a
little
Towne
called
Iortan
,
where
one
of
our
Comittees
went
ashore
with
the
long
boate
,
to
inquire
for
a
Pilot
,
to
bring
vs
vnto
the
Islands
of
Moluccas
,
but
returned
the
same
euening
with
a
Lambe
,
which
the
King
had
bestowed
on
our
Vice-Admiral
,
not
bringing
any
Pilot
with
them
,
which
was
the
principall
cause
of
our
comming
thither
,
for
here
at
Iortan
is
the
Roade
,
where
all
the
shippes
of
Iaua
lie
.
The
28.
day
in
the
morning
,
we
sent
a
long
boat
to
the
shore
to
buy
Rice
and
other
necessaries
,
but
they
returned
presently
,
bringing
with
them
the
Sabander
,
and
in

the
Kings
brother
came
aboord
vs

with
a

to
our

The

day
,
some
of
our
companie
spake
with
a
Dutchman
that
dwelled
there
in
the
Country
,
exercising
great
trade
in
Pepper
,
Nutmegs
and
Cloues
.
The
29.
day
our
long
boate
went
ashore
againe
,
and
bought
all
prouision
of
fresh
victuals
.
The
30.
day
we
sent
againe
to
land
to
buy
Rice
,
and
to
enquire
after
a
Pilot
,
which
wee
found
:
the
same
night
came
a
boate
aboord
vs
with
folke
therein
,
shewing
vs
,
that
néere
fortie
of
our

THe
Island
Madura
lyeth
on
the
North
side
of
Iaua
Maior
,
Ianuarie
27.
1599.
after
wee
had
anchored
vnder
the
land
of
Iaua
,
wee
found
a
mighty
shallow
or
banke
,
which
stretcheth
out
euen
vnto
the
mouth
of
the
straight
of
Madura
,
&
so
runneth
forth
to
the
land
of
Iaua
.
This
banke
in
some
places
is
but
sixe
fadome
deep
,
and
in
other
places
déeper
or
shallower
as
it
may
fall
out
,
by
reason
whereof
we
were
constrained
to
part
company
(
as
before
is
partly
declared
)
concluding
among
our selues
,
that
the
Vice-Admirall
(
which
was
the
Geldria
,
with
the
other
ship
called
the
Zelandia
)
should
saile
to
the
straight
of
Madura
,
(
lying
betwéene
the
Island
of
Iaua
and
Madura
)
to
a
little
towne
named
Iortan
,
which
is
the
place
whereunto
the
Jauanars
come
with
their
ships
,
attending
there
for
a
faire
wind
to
go
to
the
Islands
of
Moluccas
.
At
this
place
therfore
we
meant
to
take
in
a
Pylot
,
to
bring
vs
to
the
Islands
of
Moluccas
:
this
was
the
onely
reason
that
brought
vs
hither
.
In
the
meane
while
our
Admirall
and
the
Vtrecht
,
sailed
to
the
West
and
of
Madura
,
where
they
let
fal
their
anchors
before
a
small
towne
called
Arosbay
,
&
sending
their
long
boat
to
the
said
towne
,
to
buy
Ryse
&
other
victuals
,
the
mariners
were
no
sooner
landed
,
but
they
were
all
apprehended
,
vnarmed
,
&
taken
prisoners
,
the
most
part
of
them
spoiled
of
their
apparell
,
and
other
rags
giuen
them
to
couer
their
bodies
.
The
Admiral
séeing
that
the
said
boat
stayed
so
long
away
,
and
returned
not
,
sent
a
cocke-boat
with
thrée
men
to
the
shore
,
to
know
the
cause
why
the
other
stayed
so
long
from
the
ships
.
These
3.
men
were
no
sooner
come
to
the
shore
,
but
they
were
also
taken
prisoners
by
the
inhabitants
of
the
said
towne
,
and
carried
to
their
fellowes
.
After
that
they
were
thus
dealt
with
,
the
commitees
which
were
taken
in
this
sort
among
the
rest
,
obtained
of
the
king
licence
to
send
3.
of
their
company
vnto
their
Admiral
,
to
aduertise
him
of
this
imprisonment
,
conditionally
,
that
the
said
3.
men
should
presently
returne
to
the
towne
,
after
they
had
béene
aboord
their
shipe
:
which
was
accordingly
agréed
and
accomplished
.
After
that
the
Admiral
vnderstood
of
these
proceedings
,
he
sent
a
boat
vnto
the
Vice-Admirall
to
aduertise
him
hereof
.
Who
presently
waying
his
anchors
,
droue
downe
the
streame
vntill
he
came
before
that
said
towne
Arosbay
,
where
the
mariners
were
imprisoned
.
Euery
day
letters
were
sent
to
&
fro
,
to
come
to
some
agréement
for
the
liberty
of
our
people
:
but
that
K.
demanded
a
great
ransom
,
namely
the
2.
blacke
péeces
of
ordinance
which
were
in
the
Admiral
,
some
number
of
cloths
,
&
péeces
of
veluet
,
We
1000.
rials
of
8
This
demand
pleased
the
Admiral
nothing
at
all
,
answering
,
that
if
they
would
content
themselues
with
money
or
wares
,
hee
would
with
all
his
heart
agrée
with
them
:
but
as
touching
the
Ordinance
by
them
demanded
,
they
belonged
not
vnto
him
,
neither
had
he
any
power
or
authoritie
ouer
them
▪
for
they
belonged
vnto
his
land
,
or
state
of
whence
hée
was
.
This
maner
of
parle
continued
in
this
sort
fiue
or
sixe
daies
,
and
euery
day
their
demands
were
more
vnreasonable
then
other
.
In
the
end
the
Admirall
called
all
the
Marchants
and
masters
aboord
him
,
counselling
together
what
was
best
to
bée
done
.
Then
they
concluded
to
land
some
of
their
company
,
and
with
force
of
armes
to
deliuer
the
prisoners
,
(
for
wee
were
aduertised
,
that
our
men
were
kept
in
the
long
boate
wherewith
they
went
ashore
,
as
yet
lying
in
the
hauen
before
the
gate
,
without
bonds
,
fetters
,
or
close
prison
)
meaning
sodainly
,
and
before
they
of
the
towne
should
be
able
to
preuent
vs
,
to
deliver
our
men
:
but
we
failed
of
our
purpose
.
The
5.
day
of
Februarie
,
after
we
had
very
well
and
in
good
order
with
150.
men
manned
and
armed
thrée
long
boats
,
and
thrée
ship
boates
,
we
rowed
to
the
shore
,
where
wee
found
a
great
multitude
of
people
before
the
towne
,
among
whom
were
two
Portingals
,
who
came
vnto
vs
with
flags
of
peace
or
truce
in
their
hands
,
saying
they
would
agrée
with
vs
:
which
was
nothing
but
deceit
and
knauerie
,
for
they
assembled
themselues
verie
strongly
within
the
towne
.
Whereupon
some
twentie
of
our
Muskettiers
leapt
on
land
,
discharging
their
muskets
among
the
thickest
,
so
that
thrée
or
foure
of
them
fell
downe
dead
:
and
running
towardes
the
place
where
the
long
boat
lay
with
the
prisoners
,
our
Vice-Admirall
called
vnto
vs
to
returne
into
our
owne
boat
,
and
to
bring
her
in
néerer
vnto
the
towne
,
which
we
did
:
in
the
meane
while
the
townsmen
were
come
out
at
another
gate
,
meaning
to
enuiron
vs
,
and
so
to
enclose
vs
in
the
hauen
,
that
we
should
not
be
able
to
returne
.
We
perceiuing
their
intent
,
sent
presently
two
of
our
boats
to
the
bome
or
barre
,
to
kéepe
the
hauen
frée
for
our
returne
:
for
if
the
enemie
could
haue
possessed
the
corner
,
it
would
haue
returned
to
our
great
hurt
.
While
wee
were
thus
in
skirmish
one
with
the
other
,
they
had
cléered
their
brasse
Bases
,
discharging
them
very
terribly
among
vs
,
they
had
also
many
calieuers
,
and
great
store
of
Bowes
and
arrowes
,
wherewith
they
shot
among
vs
,
so
that
it
séemed
that
arrowes
rained
vpon
vs
:
they
thought
as
soone
as
our
powder
was
spent
,
to
deale
easily
ynough
with
vs
,
but
wée
stayed
not
so
long
,
by
reason
that
the
weather
beganne
to
grow
very
tempestuous
,
the
water
was
much
falne
,
and
besides
we
thought
good
no
longer
to
hazard
our
liues
in
vaine
,
wherefore
we
retyred
to
our
boats
,
and
pulling
vp
the
dregs
,
rowed
out
of
the
hauen
towards
our
ships
,
for
the
wind
began
to
rise
more
and
more
:
and
beeing
some
shot
off
from
the
land
,
the
Admirals
boat
with
36
men
,
and
the
boat
of
the
Zealand
with
13.
men
,
were
with
the
waues
&
billowes
turned
topsie-furuy
and
ouerthrowne
:
wee
that
were
in
the
other
boates
were
not
able
to
helpe
them
,
for
it
was
as
much
as
we
were
able
to
doe
,
to
preserue
our
owne
boats
aboue
water
,
so
that
many
a
man
came
to
his
end
by
this
mishap
,
some
being
drowned
,
and
others
killed
by
the
wilde
people
on
the
shore
,
but
some
that
hapned
to
swim
to
the
one
side
of
the
towne
,
were
saued
by
the
Renegado
of
Tuban
,
which
stoode
by
as
the
men
came
to
land
,
and
intreated
for
their
liues
,
perswading
the
people
to
take
them
prisoners
:
whereupon
they
were
suffered
to
come
to
the
land
:
and
knéeling
on
the
ground
,
the
people
laid
sand
on
their
heads
,
in
token
that
their
liues
were
saued
,
but
so
many
as
swoome
to
the
other
side
of
the
land
,
were
put
to
the
sword
without
mercie
,
Thus
there
died
25.
of
our
men
,
to
wit
,
15.
of
the
Admirals
,
one
of
Iohn
Martssens
ship
,
&
9.
of
the
Zealands
.
The
prisoners
were
the
same
euening
led
through
the
town
,
and
kept
without
the
gates
in
a
countrey
house
.
The
Trumpeter
and
the
Corporall
were
bound
and
fettered
,
the
rest
were
bound
together
,
and
three
of
them
were
shrewdly
wounded
,
&
those
which
we
meant
to
haue
rescued
,
were
carried
to
other
places
,
separated
in
two
companies
.
The
6.
day
they
were
remoued
from
the
place
where
The
7.
day
they
were
brought
againe
out
of
the
den
,
The
eight
day
we
beganne
againe
to
parle
about
the
prisoners

:
and
in
the
end
it
was
agréed
to
pay

of
Rials
of
eight
,
in
spice
or
in
wares
at
the
Kings
pleasure
.
The
9.
day
eight
of
the
Prisoners
were
sent
aboord
,
and
their
ransome
carried
a
shore
.
The
10.
day
were
12.
deliuered
,
and
their
ransome
sent
to
the
King
,
and
this
continued
the
11.
and
12.
vnto
the
13.
day
,
vntill
all
the
prisoners
were
released
.
The
14.
day
wee
had
all
our
folke
aboord
,
two
except
,
whereof
one
was
taken
with
the
rest
.
the
other
had
in
the
night
hid
himselfe
,
which
two
willingly
remained
behind
,
greatly
to
the
disliking
of
our
Admirall
.
The
same
day
the
Vtrecht
discharged
three
peeces
of
Ordinance
,
for
ioy
that
our
people
were
deliuered
,
and
hauing
hoysed
our
sayles
,
departed
thence
,
and
the
same
euening
came
to
the
other
shippe
:
and
sayling
together
in
company
,
wee
shaped
our
course
East
and
by
North
,
along
the
coast
of
Madura
,
hauing
the
wind
West
South-west
,
at
which
time
(
our

our

but
none

the
land

The
15
day
we
cast
the
dead
Shipper
aforesaid
ouer-boord
,
within
sight
of
the
Clifts
of
little
Iaua
.
The
16.
day
the
Admirals
boat
fetched
the
Vice-Admirall
aboord
their
ship
,
to
choose
new
officers
for
the
Admirall
,
in
place
of
those
that
were
lost
at
Madura
:
wée
held
our
course
East
and
by
North
with
a
fine
gale
.
The
17.
and
18.
dayes
we
had
sight
of
the
Island
Celebes
,
kéeping
our
course
East
,
and
East
and
by
North.
The
19.
day
in
the
morning
,
we
saw
the
Island
Combayna
,
which
lyeth
some
18.
leagues
from
Celebes
,
and
the
same
day
we
had
sight
of
another
Island
called
Bouton
,
and
stretcheth
East
South-east
from
Combayna
some
eight
leagues
.
The
20.
day
wee
sayled
about
the
Island
Bouton
,
The
21.
day
in
the
morning
,
wee
were
vnder
the
Island
Cebesse
,
where
wee
found
a
shole
,
which
appeared
not
vnto
vs
in
the
Card
:
we
had
sayled
the
same
night
beyond
it
aboue
the
length
of
a
shot
with
a
great
péece
,
before
we
perceiued
the
danger
:
wherefore
wee
must
acknowledge
that
the
Almightie
God
preserued
vs
.
This
banke
or
shole
is
some
two
leagues
long
,
stretching
for
the
most
part
East
and
West
,
and
ought
to
bee
regarded
and
well
noted
:
it
lyeth
betwéene
these
two
Islands
Bouton
and
Cebessa
,
almost
in
the
mid-way
:
heere
wee
found
that
our
Compasse
drew
againe
towards
the
North-east
.
The
22.
and
23.
dayes
,
the
weather
was
raynie
,
wee
holding
our
course
North-east
towards
Amboyna
.
The
24.
day
the
Vice-Admirall
came
aboord
the
Admiral
,
to
conferre
with
him
,

.
The
inhabitants
are
very
simple
people
,
their

for
the
most
part
like
to
theirs
of

and
so
go

they
liue
for
the
most

by
the
trade
of
Cloues

néere
and
hard
in
their

:
their

are
commonly
Pikes

armed
with
iron
,
in

of
a

,
or
of
an

which
they
throw

insomuch
that
they
will
hit
the
breadth
of
a

:
they
vse
also
shields
in
their

,
and
Curtelaxes
.
The

of
people
commonly
carrie
a

,
wherewith
they
doe
their

They
bake
great
Cakes
of

much
Rise
in
making
of
great
loaues
of

,
after
the
shape
and
fashion
of
a
Sugar-loafe

which
commonly
they
eate
as
bread
with
other
meates
.
They
haue
also
the
vse
of
Gallies
,
whereof
they
are
very
proud
,
and
boast
not
a
little
of
them
:
they
row
them
maruailous
swiftly
,
and
are
made
after
the
shape
and
fashion
of
a
Dragon
:
before
is
a
Dragons
head
,
and
at
the
sterne
it
is
shaped
like
vnto
a
Dragons
taile
,
hanged
and
decked
with
flagges
and
pendons
,
as
we
our selues
saw
when
we
came
first
before
Amboyna
,
at
what
time
the
Admiral
of
the
Seas
there
,
came
aboord
vs
,
with
3.
very
rich
&
gallant
Gallies
,
ful
of
men
,
&
well
appoynted
,
which
they
call
in
their
language
Karkollen
:
they
rowed
about
our
ships
with
great
ioy
&
mirth
,
singing
,
and
playing
vpon
Copper
Basons
,
&
long
Droomes
,
which
they
carrie
vnder
one
arme
,
and
with
one
hand
they
played
vpon
the
Droome
in
accord
with
the
sound
of
the
Basons
,
wherunto
the
slaues
sung
likewise
in
accord
as
they
rowed
,
which
was
very
pleasant
to
heare
.
Euerie
one
of
these
Karkollen
or
Gallies
had
3.
Bases
,
all
which
they
discharged
to
honour
and
welcome
vs

wee
discharged
also
all
our
Ordinance
,
to
congratulate
and
answere
their
courtesie
,
and
then
let
fall
our
Ankers
,
kéeping
good
watch
all
the
night
,
for
we
vnderstood
that
they
kept
a
watch
all
night
on
the
shore
,
which
wée
might
easily
discerne
.
Afterwards
the
Admirall
came
aboord
vs
,
demaunding
to
what
end
we
came
thither
,
and
what
we
desired
.
Whereunto
was
answered
,
that
we
came
in
trade
of
Marchandize
,
&
to
that
end
had
brought
with
vs
all
sorts
of
Marchandize
:
with
which
answere
he
seemed
to
vs
to
be
glad
,
willing
vs
to
come
aland
,
where
he
would
agree
with
vs
.
The
next
day
the
Vice-Admirall
went
ashore
to
accord
&
conclude
some
great
bargaine
,
where
he
was
in
very
friendly
sort
welcommed
and
receiued
,
bringing
him
into
a
Tent
made
of
their

they
conferred
with

perceiuing

after

it

they

at

And

they
strike

in

cerrimonie
,
they
haue
great

They
vse
also
other

they
vtter
not

but
mumble

iumble
them
softly

such
prayers
ended

then
falling

they
lay

three

This
ceremonie
they
vse
often
,
both
in
their
Musquitas
,
in

,
&
also
openly

The
Inhabitantes
meete
often
times

bringing
their
victuals
with

:
where
they
make

assembling
sometimes
100.
persons
in
a
companie
,
to
make

to

of
such
assemblies
they
make
great
accompt
,
taking
great
delight
,
pleasure
,
and
contentment
therein
:
and
commonly
such
meetinges
are
vsed
,
when

will
conferre
together
of

such
like

of

)
heretofore
cut
downe
,
or
ouerthrew
certaine
trees
within
the
circut
or
liberties
of

:
from
hence
I
say
,
such
mortall
hate
,
and
bloodie
warres
hath
so
long
since
taken
such
deepe
roote
in
the
hartes
of
those
people
,
that
neuer
since
they
could
be
reconciled
,
but
without
all
mercie
,
or
sparing
one

,
or

of
any

,
vpon
all
aduantages
&

kill
one

other
like
Dogs
,
as
wee
in
the
time
of
our
beeing
there
,
haue
often
and
sundry
times
seene
.
In
the
night
they
keepe
very
strong
watch
as
well
in
the
woods
,
as
within
their
townes
,
calling
&
crying
one
to
an
other
all
the
night
long
,
to
th
end
they
should
not
fall
a
sleepe
.
Now
when
they
meane
to
make
any
attempt
,
or
to
take
any
enterprise
in
hand
,
commonly
they
come
with
their
Gallies
,
which
they
row
so
swistly
as
a
Shippe
can
sayle
with
a
reasonable
gale
of
winde
.
These
Gallies
do
great
seruice
:
neither
are
they
altogether
ignorant
in
the
vse
of
their
Baesses
,
whereof
euery
Gallie
hath
two
of
brasse
.
They
vse
also
Hand-gunnes
,
or
Caleeuers
,
in
their
warres
,
with
sundry
other
instruments
and
weapons
,
as
Sheeldes
,
with
a
great
Sable
,
called
in
their
language
Padaug
,
which
they
handle
and
vse
in
very
good
sort
,
teaching
their
children
while
they
are
young
,
to
fight
&
play
at
fence
.
They
haue
also
Pikes
commonly
in
their
wars
,
made
of
very
hard
wood
,
which
they
cast
very
certainely
and
neare
,
as
we
our selues
haue
often
times
seene
.
They
haue
also
an
other
kind
of
weapon
most
common
&
vsuall
among
them
,
the
end
is
of
Iron
,
made
like
vnto
a
small
harping-yron
,
wherein
they
put
a
sticke
,
fastning
thervnto
a
little
thinne
coard
,
which
they
throw
into
the
bodyes
of
their
enemies
when
they
come
neare
togither
,
and
draw
it
to
them
againe
with
the
string
:
when
they
go
against
their
enemies
,
they
set
a
murrion
or
head
piece
vpon
their
head
,
whereof
they
haue
good
store
among
them
,
wearing
in
them
commonly
a
Parradice
bird
in
stead
of
a
feather
,
thinking
themselues
sure
and
safe
enough
when
they
haue
such
an
helmet
on
their
head
.
Some
of
the
Gentlemen
haue
Corslets
or
harnesse
,
wherein
they
thinke
they
can
take
no
hurt
of
their
enemies
.
Now
when
they
enterprise
any
attempt
with
their
Gallies
,
they
make
a
most
hideous
noyse
with
crying
,
calling
,
hooping
,
hallowing
,
playing
on
Drums
,
and
Bason
,
as
if
they
were
all
out
of
their
wittes
:
the
Gentlemen
(
standing
aloft
in
the
Gallie
with
their
weapons
in
their
hands
)
make
many
crooked
leapes
,
springing
this
way
&
that
way
:
he
which
can
spring
best
,
thinkes
himselfe
the
trimmest
fellow
,
and
is
not
a
little
proud
thereof
.
On
the
sides
of
the
Gallies
are
stages
of
Canes
,
made
to
passe
euen
with
the
water
,
whereon

Now
when

pretend

they
come
with

to

the

another

left

to
sayle
about

way
to

for
want
of

could
not

in

we
agréed
to
shape

being
very
cléere

declaring

not
spoken

neither
could

learne

supposed

The

Iohn
Martsson
came
agrounde

wound
himselfe
off

before

againe

aground

hauing
behind
twentie
fathome

whereupon
they
cast
out
their

anchor
behinde
at

so
in
winding
her
off
,
she
swayed
to
the
sholeward
,
but
wound
her
off
againe
with
the
Capsten
,
and
pulling
vp
their
anchor
,
they
found
the

to
be
broken
,
for
the
shanke
was
in
two
peeces
,
but
they
got
them
vp
into
their

by
reason
that
the
Buy

was
twisted
about

The
discription
of
Bantam
.
THE
manners
and
policie
vsed
in
Bantam
are
very
strange
,
for
when
a
man
dyeth
,
leauing
behinde
him
any
goods
,
whether
he
haue
children
or
none
,
the
King
seazeth
vpon
the
widow
,
children
,
and
goods
,
appropriating
all
to
himselfe
:
making
the
Mother
his
slaue
:
and
if
a
man
of
China
desire
to
buye
the
Mother
or
daughter
,
he
selleth
them
,
and
if
afterwards
they
chance
to
haue
children
betwéene
them
,
it
happeneth
to
her
againe
as
it
did
after
her
first
husbands
death
,
if
the
King
doe
vnderstand
of
any
goods
left
by
the
deceased
:
such
as
haue
any
wealth
,
haue
no
other
meanes
to
preuent
this
mischiefe
,
but
onely
to
marrie
their
children
while
they
are
young
,
whereby
they
may
inherite
their
Parents
goods
:
wherefore
they
are
married
when
they
are
but
twelue
or
thirtéene
yeares
of
age
and
younger
,
if
they
be
of
very
rich
Parents
:
and
(
which
is
more
strange
)
sometimes
such
rich
children
haue
two
or
thrée
Wiues
,
according
as
they
abounde
in
wealth
,
and
this
is
done
to
preuent
the
King
of
the
possessions
of
their
goods
after
they
are
dead
.
In
their
trade
and
traffike
,
they
are
meruailous
théeuish
,
both
the
people
of
China
and
lava
,
in
so
much
that
they
let
not
to
helpe
themselues
with
false
waights
,
falsefying
and
mingling
their
Pepper
with
blacke
sand
and
small
stones
,
to
make
it
weigh
heauie
:
they
are
also
false
of
their
word
or
promise
,
and
giuen
to
man-slaughter
:
for
if
it
so
chaunce
that
two
fight
,
and
the
one
killeth
the
other
,
he
which
liueth
(
knowing
that
he
must
dye
)
will
stab
and
kill
euery
one
where
he
can
or
may
,
sparing
netther
man
,
woman
,
nor
childe
,
no
not
the
children
sucking
the
Mothers
breast
,
so
long
vntill
he
be
ouercome
by
force
and
multitude
of
people
:
then
is
he
brought
before
the
Gouernour
,
who
pronounceth
sentence
vpon
him
,
and
after
such
iudgement
giuen
,
hee
is
thrust
into
the
breast
with
a
dagger
,
that
he
falleth
to
the
ground
:
but
it
chaunceth
seldome
that
such
an
one
is
apprehended
alsue
,
for
commonly
they
are
slaine
before
they
be
taken

wherewith
wee
were
all
greatly
comforted
.
The
17.
day
in
the
morning
we
had
sight
of
a
Carrack
néere
vnto
the
land
,
being
the
Admirall
of
the
Portugals
Fléete
,
sayling
into
the
roade
of
S.
Helena
,
where
lay
at
anchor
thrée
other
Carracks
,
whereby
wee
were
forced
to
put
into
the
old
Roade
,
which
is
the
first
valley
that
you
come
vnto
after
you
are
passed
the
Northwest
corner
,
or
necke
of
the
land
,
and
the
Roade
where
the
Carracks
lay
is
the
third
valley
beyond
the
sayd
necke
of
the
land
,
so
that
we
lay
within
Sakar
or
Minion
shot
of
each
other
:
wee
sent
vnto
them
foure
men
to
parley
with
them
,
but
I
cannot
write
what
communication
passed
.
The
same
euening
came
another
Carrack
making
towards
the
Roade
,
sailing
about
the
Northwest
necke
hard
vnder
the
shore
,
insomuch
that
she
came
so
néere
vnto
vs
,
that
they
haled
vs
,
and
demaunded
of
whence
wee
were
:
and
vnderstanding
that
we
were
Hollanders
,
seeking
to
refresh
our selues
in
that
place
,
(
refusing
the
land
)
they
cast
about
,
and
directed
their
course
Northwest
to
seaward
.
The
18.
day
foure
of
our
men
went
vp
into
the
land
at
S.
Helena
,
it
is
a
very
high
hillie
land
,
beautified
and
inriched
with
very
faire
and
pleasant
valleys
,
with
great
aboundance
of
Goates
,
and
some
store
of
Swine
:
wee
meant
to
prouide
our selues
there
of
fresh
water
,
but
the
Portugales
would
not
suffer
vs
,
so
that
we
were
without
hope
to
make
any
prouision
of
water
at
this
place
:
for
they
had
ordained
a
strong
watch
on
the
shore
,
which
was
the
onely
cause
that
wee
could
not
here
refresh
our selues
.
The
21.
being
A
scention
day
,
wee
sailed
thence
(
with
God
his
helpe
)
homewards
,
and
being
vnder
saile
,
wée
descried
another
Carrack
making
towards
the
Roade
,
which
was
the
sixt
Carrack
that
we
had
now
seene
,
wée
directed
our
course
Northwest
and
by
West
.
Furthermore
,
touching
the
Island
of
S.
Helena
,
the
same
is
a
very
fruitful
and
an
healthsome
land
,
with
such
incredible
multitude
of
fish
in
the
Roade
,
that
it
may
seeme
a
thing
hardly
to
be
beléued
,
the
most
part
Mackerell
,
and
some
other
small
fishes
,
as
Breames
,
and
other
sorts
which
haue
great
eyes
like
vnto
Haddocks
,
but
their
bodies
more
flat
.
The
25.
of
the
same
moneth
wee
were
in
thirtéene
degrées
,
with
a
Northest
winde
,
but
it
lasted
not
long
before
it
turned
againe
to
the
Southest
,
and
so
it
continued
for
the
most
part
after
we
were
past
the
Cape
.
The
30.
day
in
the
morning
we
had
sight
of
the
Island
called
Ascention
,
which
lieth
eight
degrées
Southward
the
Line
,
and
the
same
euening
we
cast
our
anchors
neére
to
the
shore
thereof
.
The
same
night
we
set
men
ashore
to
take
view
of
the
place
,
and
the
next
morning
wee
sent
more
of
our
people
to
search
and
view
all
places
,
but
found
no
fresh
water
,
no
not
so
much
as
one
draft
.
This
Island
is
full
of
stonie
rocks
&
holes
,
like
vnto
the
sinders
of
Sea-coales
which
are
thorowly
burnt
:
wee
saw
some
Swine
also
in
this
Island
,
not
without
great
marueile
how
they
could
there
liue
,
for
there
is
neither
trée
,
leafe
,
nor
grasse
,
and
that
much
more
is
,
a
man
is
not
able
to
describe
the
badnes
and
barrennes
of
the
ground
:
but
a
man
may
there
with
endgets
hill
plentie
of
Seamewes
,
although
some
store
of
people
remained
there
for
a
time
.
Also
we
tooke
there
some
Tortesses
,
whereof
we
brought
foure
aboord
our
ships
,
which
were
so
great
,
that
some
of
them
were
esteemed
to
weigh
foure
hundred
pound
.
There
was
also
some
reasonable
store
of
fish
to
be
taken
.
The
last
day
of
May
in
the
euening
wee
wayed
our
anchors
,
hoysed
our
sailes
,
and
departed
from
the
Island
Ascention
,
with
God
his
helpe
,
sailing
homewards
with
a
fine
gale
from
the
Southest
,
shaping
our
course
Northwest
and
by
West
.
In
the
end
,
after
great
paynes
,
trauaile
,
and
sicknes
,
which
we
specially
suffered
for
want
of
fresh
water
,
these
two
ships
arriued
in
the
Texell
,
and
afterwards
being
discharged
of
our
lading
,
we
came
with
great
comfort
to
Amsterdam
,
to
the
incredible
ioye
of
the
owners
and
Marchants
(
as
may
well
be
thought
)
seeing
now
all
the
eight
ships
were
with
great
profit
safely
returned
to
to
their
wished
home
,
which
had
béen
sent
out
the
first
day
of
March
1598.
in
companie
to
the
Islands
of
the
East
Indes
.
The
Almightie
God
be
blessed
and
praised
therefore
,
who
with
his
mightie
hand
gouerned
and
brought
vs
home
thorow
the
fearful
waues
,
and
raging
gulfes
of
the
Sea
.
