the Pinnace was sent before to finde where there was least danger and hauing found 7. or 8 fadom we all followed her and hauing passed this danger we gaue God the praise which had mercifully deliuered vs. The 7. day of May we had sight of Nicombar which is about 40. leagues from Sumatra this night following we had a great storme and in this storme if God had not deliuered vs wonderfully our ship or the Hector or both had suncke in the sea being almost aboord of one another in lying of those Ilands this night also we lost company with the Pinnace but within 2. or 3. dayes she came to vs in that habor here we stayed 9. or 10. dayes to water and ballast our shippes and to mount our ordinance The people of the country brought vs aboord Coaker nuts Cassado roots Pounceatrones and Lemmons and some hens but they made dainty of their hens for they would not sell them vnder two Counters a peece taking them for gould although they solde other things for olde peeces of Linnen and small peeces of Yron hoopes some of these people speake Portugale who tolde vs that the Portugales vse to put into this harbor as they goe to Mallacca and that two Gallions were there two moneths before our comming thether which had bought all the Amber-Greese was to be gotten The 18. day we set saile from hence but by reason of fowle weather and contrary windes our Admirall lost his boate and sprung a leake and therefore would haue fetched that harbor againe but could not So wee went to other Ilands called Sombrai 10. or 12. leagues to lewward Nicombar Heere our Admirall lost an anckor for the ground is rockie and full of counterfeit Currall The prople of this Iland goe naked hauing onely their priuities bound vp in a narrow peece of Linnē cloath which commeth about their middle like a girdell and so betweene their twist they are of a tawnie couler they annoint their faces with diuers coullers they are well limmed but very fearefull for they would neither come aboord our ships nor come into our boates There groweth in this Iland Trees that for the talenesse greatnesse and straightnesse thereof they will serue the biggest Shippe in our Fleete for a maine Maste and the Iland is full of these Trees Heere likewise we did finde vpon the Sandes a small twigge growing vp greene like a young tree and offering to pull the same vp it shrinketh into the ground and sincketh vnlesse you holde very harde but beeing pulled vp a great worme growth about the roote thereof very strange to see of these I gathered many We departed from hence the 29. of this moneth The 2. of Iune wee anckored in the roade of Dachen where wee had of the countrie people came aboorde of vs with their Canows greater then any wee had seene before hauing rafters of eache side of them so that they cannot sincke The next day there came some of the Factors for the Flemmings aboorde of vs to welcome vs into that Countrey And the same daye our Vize-Admirall went a shoare to the King with a message from our Generall accompanied with Maister Salter Maister Ianuerme and Maister Groue who hearing of their landing sent them Elephants to ride to his court being about a mile from the landing place where they were kindlie entertained and giuing too the Vize-Admirall a Roabe and a Tucke of Callico imbrodered with golde The 4. of Iune being Saterday the Generall went on shoare accompanied with Captaine Hauers Captaine Pope and many other Marchants to deliuer the Queenes letter and to giue him presents which were a Bason Ewer of siluer a standing cup of siluer a Head-peece a paire of Hāgers a Fanne of Fethers a Looking-glasse these being deliuered by the Marchants none pleased him so well as the Fanne of Feathers with which hee caused his women to Fanne him First at the Generals landing the Flemmings mette him and carried him to their house where he stayed vntill the King sent for him In the meane while there came a Noble-man called Curcon who would haue receiued her Maiesties letter to haue deliuered it to the King but our Generall refused to deliuer it to any but to the King himselfe Then did the King send sixe Elephants for the Generall and his attendants whereof there was one Elephant which was the greatest that carried a Cannopie couered with Redde cloath in which Cannopie was a peece of Silke and a peece of cloath of gold to carrie her Maiesties letter in and vpon this Elephant none did ride but he that carried the letter The Generall ridde vppon another with a guide before him and vppon the rest some did ride and some did not for it is very vneasie riding vppon them their backes are so broade and they so great and tall The King did likewise send his Trumpets and other Musicke which played before the Generall to the Courte and there was twentie other that carried streamers of silke of diuers coulours according to that countrie manner So the Generall entering into the first gate of the Court rested himselfe there vntill the King had notice of his comming who presently sent for him and foure other of the principall men about the Generall who when they had brought him to the King came backe for the presents which were carryed in by the Marchants appointed for that purpose And after they had passed three courtes they came into a place couered with Cannopies adioyning to the Kings Gallerie where the King satte and after they had giuen Doulat to the King and the King resaluted them according to their Countrie fashion which is by lifting both their handes aboue their heads they satte downe to dinner where they had great cheere and to the number of two or three hundreth seuerall dishes of meate baked roasted and boyled The Dishes and Cuppes wherein they were serued were most of goulde and of a mettall much like to Bell mettall which is dearer then goulde euery dishe couered some with Purslain of China Their drinke is called Aracke and is verye strong and is not to bee drunke without water yet that which is generally drunke in the countrie is nothing so strong nor so wholesome The King asked our Generall if our Queene were married how long she had raigned which when the Generall had answered by his interpretor the King wondred The King likewise told the Generall if the words in her Maiesties letter came from the hart he had cause to thinke well thereof Dinner being ended the King caused his Damsels to daunce and his women to play Musicke vnto them who were richly adorned with Bracelets and Iewels and this was a great fauour for hee dooth not vsually let them be seene to any The King did likewise giue vnto our Generall a fine white Roabe and a Tucke imbrodered with gold very ritchly also a great Girdell and two Crises all which one of his Noble-men put on in the Kings presence
