Marthas about two leagues frō the said Ilāds there lyeth a bāck of sand vpon which hanck y e water is but two fadome déepe therfore séeing y e dāger of y e coast we struck saile went no further y e night The next day being y e last of Iuly we wente al along the coast y t runneth East west West by North which is al enuironed about w t Ilandes drie sandes and in truth are very daungerous The length frō S.
