with salt The 21. and 22. hauing a great storme wee put into the Isle of of Wight where our Maister would gladly haue hyred a carpenter but could not The 25. we set sayle from Wight and vpon the 27. entred at Plimmouth where the Maister hyred a carpenter of Maydenblicke The 28. we leaft Plimmouth and sayled with a north north east wind and faire whether and the 29. the Maister and Marc●●nt of the Horne came abord the Vnitie to agree together about order to be taken vpon the 4. of Iuly for sharing of our victuales according to the manner and custome vsed in shippes that sayle long voiages where they deliuer the saylers their meate and drinke by waight and measure to euery man alike and according to his qualitie The 4. of Iuly according to the aforesaid resolution it was ordred that euery man should haue a can of beere a day 4. pound of bisket and halfe a pound of butter besides sweete suet a weeke and fiue cheeses for the whole voiage The 8. being vnder 39. degrees and 25. minutes right against the Bassels our carpenters Mate dyed The 9. and 10. with a north and north east winde and a stife gale the 11. we had a sight of Porto Santo and Madera and held our course east The 12. in the morning we saw the Saluages which we leaft on backe-bord about 2. leagues from vs. The 13. in the morning wee saw the Ilands of Tenerifa and great Canaena and the same day about noone wee sayld betweene them both with a stiffe north north east wind and a swift streame Betweene the 14. and the 15. with the same wind and streame we passed Tropicus Cancri The 16. in the morning with a Northeast wind we found very hollow water at which time the boate that was drawne at the Vnities stearne was full of water and therewith the rope brake and the boate sunke and was lost which till that time we had drawne after the ship without any danger about noone the same day we were vnder 20. degrees and 30. minutes The 17. and 18. with faire weathe● and an indifferent wind north and northwest we sailed west and by south and on the 19. in the morning were vnder 14. degrees and 45. minutes The 20. on the morning we fell on the north side of Cape Verde and had 8. fathome deepe when wee first saw the land sailing along by the coast and at Sunne-rising the Cape lay west and by south from vs so that with a north northeast wind we could not get beyond it and were forced to ankor at 32. fathome deepe that night it blew hard with a great storme of raine and thunder The 21. in the morning the wind south southeast and after Sun-rising variable we set saile with our course to to Seaward first west and by north then northwest and that whole day sailed not aboue 6. leagues The 22. we lay driuing all day long with a calme and no sailes vp then Cape Verde lay east from vs about euening we saw a ship southward that held her course northwest The 23. in the morning hauing a South wind wee could not reach aboue the Cape but were forced to ankor by reason of the streame about noone wee set saile with a west wind and got beyond the Cape and that euening ankored within the second Island in the ordinary roade at 10. fathome deepe The 24. it rained sore and we made ready to fetch fresh water from the land The 25. the Alkaire or gouernour came aboord our ship with whome wee agreed for eight states of Iron that wee should peaceably fetch fresh water from the shore The 26. it rained and the weather very darke the same day we saw a ship that sailed towards vs and ankored two leagues from vs vnder the land being a ship of Rotterdam that came thither to trafficke along the coast The 28. and 29. we fetcht water meane time the Horne hoysed saile and went to the place where the ship of Rotterdam lay in a Bay called Refresco to see if wee could there find any Limonds but came againe in the euening and could get none The 31. there came a French ship and anchored by vs. The same day we had stayed a Negroes ship who at night shewed vs a fit place to fish in and our men carrying their nets on the firme land tooke as many fishes of diuers sorts as both our ships could eate in two dayes The first of August in the morning we set saile from Cape Verde with the Rotterdamer who at noone time left vs and set his course for the Salt Islands all that time we had faire weather and a fine gale of wind out of the north our course southwest The 2. we had faire weather with a fine gale of wind at which time we klled a little calfe and a goate that we gotte at Cape Verde which serued all our men in both ships for a whole dayes meate The 3. we had but small wind and that night faire weather but when day appeared it was thicke and cloudie with thunder raine and lightning The 4. about noone we were vnder 12. degrees and 12. minutes with very faire weather and a good swift gale as also the 5. day The 7.8 and 9. it rained fast but yet with an indifferent gale The 10. it rained with a small wind that night we saw a Spanish Barke vnder saile The 15. we had a reasonable fresh winde and good weather and made indifferent good way then we saw great store of birds called Rabos forcados and tooke a Dorado The 16. about noone we were vnder 7. degrees and 40. minutes with faire weather and a good winde as afore The 17. at noone we were vnder 7. degrees 12. minutes with faire weather and an indifferent coole gale southwest that day we tooke many Bouetes and Corretters The 18. and 19. we lay by the wind resoluing to hold our course for Sierra Liona there to refresh our selues because many of our men had a great scouring all that day we had a stiffe contrary wind and were forced to lie by the weather it being then too late to go speeedily vnder the Line and at the Cape we got but little refreshing at that time about noone we were vnder 7. degrees and 55. minutes The 20. in the morning we were vnder 7. degrees 45. minutes with faire weather and a good gale of winde out of the South wee helde our course East and East and by North at which time we saw great store of land fowles and change of water about euening we cast out the lead and found 30. fathome sandie ground and had land almost 40. leagues nearer then we gessed it to be the same night we anchored at 16. fathome and were vpon the west end of the Baixos or shallows of S. Anna Island The 21. in the morning by Sunne rising we set saile and saw the high land of Sierra Liona about 6. Leagues from vs Northeast and by North

wee likewise saw the Islands of Mabrabomba which lie on the south point or corner of the high land of Sierra Liona north from the Baixos or shallows of S. Annas Island Sierra Liona is a very high land there is no land so high as it betweene Capo Verde and the coast of Guinea whereby the poynt is most easie to bee knowne that day wee laboured as we could to get to land for the most part hauing stormie weather running to the point and ouer the Baixos or shallows of S. Anna at 10.9.8.7 and 5. fathome water and as wee sayled northward the water waxed deeper but eastward shallower so that about euening we anchored with a high water at foure fathome and a halfe soft ground and in the night time we had but three fathome and a halfe but it was fine cleare weather The 22. in the morning at Sunrising William Schouten went aboord the Horne and sayled in it before vs the great ship following holding our course north northeast with a northwest winde and an ebbe vnder the bough and so got off from the Baixos to 18. fathome water and from thence to the Islands of Mabrabomba which are very high and lie all three on a row southwest and northeast halfe a league from Sierra Liona to seaward there we had shallow water at fiue and foure fathome soft muddy ground we anchored about a league from the land and going on shore found no man dwelling therin but perceiued the foote-steps of many great beastes but all the land lay wast like a wildernes with low marshes or bogs and high hils The 23. in the morning Iacob le Maire went aboord the Horne and from it with both the boates on shore where hee found a Riuer at the mouth thereof hauing many cliffes sands rockes whereby no ship could goe into it but within it was very deepe and broad enough for ships to turne and wind there they could perceiue no people to dwell but saw three wilde Oxen and a great many Monkeis and some birds that barked like dogs They rowed at least 3. leagues vp into it with the floud and there found a wilde Palme tree but in the euening came aboord againe and heard of no people neither found any fruit that might serue their turne to eate The 24. both our Scouts went on shore againe to seeke for men or some refreshing each of them in a seuerall Riuer at least 5. leagues into it Aris Clawson the Marchant of the Horne with one of the Assistants into the one and Claus Iohnson Ban with our masters mate in the other and the 25. in the morning came on boord againe The Marchant of the Horne had beene in a salt riuer and brought with him 5. or 6. wilde Palmites Claus Iohnson and Ban had beene in a fresh riuer and there found a place wherein there grew 8. or 9. Limond trees which they shooke and got about 750. Limonds most ripe ready to drie There also they saw great store of Tortoyses and some Crocodiles but no people We determined to trie if wee could get into the fresh Riuer with both our shippes therein to make prouision of fresh water and Limonds and to that end set sayle but found the water so shallow that we were forced to anchor at 6. fathome The Horne anchored before the Riuer on the lower land but there found shallow water by meanes of the point of the Baixos or shallows of S. Anna Island Iacob le Maire and Aris Clawson the marchants of the Horne and Vnitie went with the boate vp into the riuer The 26. we had a stiffe gale of winde South southwest so that wee could not saile yet the Horne beate on the south point of the bay which is about fiue leagues broad from the north to the south side The 27. in the morning we hoyst anchor to sayle to the Horne and about noone time the Horne boate came with Iacob le Maire on boord againe bringing with him about 1400. Limonds which they had found in diuers places here and there in the riuer In the euening we got to the Horne and there anchored at three fathome and a halfe soft ground The 28. our master went vp the riuer before the which we lay with both the boates and about euening came againe and found no good land to goe vpon nor any signes of men but onely a Bull with a Calfe all the ground being marshie and full of trees that stood in the salt water The 29. perceiuing that we were not in the riuer of Sierra Liona we determined early in the morning to set sayle and to goe northward of the high land and about noone wee got aboue the Islands of Mabrabonda westward along towards the north part of the high land till we had 12. and 15. fathome water and in the euening got about the point where we anchored at 15. fathome deepe The 30. in the morning we hoysed anchor and draue with the streame and a south wind before the village in the right roade of Sierra Liona where wee anchored at 8. fathome sandy ground about a musket shot from the land there we saw 8. or 9 houses couered with straw The Moores called vnto vs in their Language to fetch them aboord our shippe and because they had no Canoes we sent our boate on land which presently came backe againe with 5. Moores in it whereof one was their Interpreter but before they came they desired that we would leaue some of our men to stay with them as pledges for that not long before there had beene a French ship there which had taken and carryed away 2. of their Moores Aris Clawson the marchant that went a shore with the boate staied there with them and haueing certaine beades he there bartered them for 700. Limonds most ripe and two bunches of Banauas almost ripe also The Interpreter spake all kind of Languages one with an other In the meane time our men hauing faire weather laded fresh water which is there easie to be had by reason it falles downe out of the hill into the roade so that we held the barrels vnder the shore or fall of the water and filling them put them straight into the Scute the water was very good The 31. when we had fild our vessels full of water and that morning Iacob le Maire Aris Clawson Claus Iohnson Ban and all the assistants went on land and bartered for about 25000. Limonds for a few beades and some slight Norremburgh kniues wee might haue had 100000. Limonds there at the least if we would for there they grew by whole woods full the same night we bartered with the Negroes for a shole of Fish The first of September we hoysed anchor and draue before the streame and that euening anchored at the mouth of the Sea before a small Riuer The 2. we set the Horne vpon the Strand to make her cleane hauing a god place to doe it for there the water falles 7. foote vp and

short hayre like our men in Holland Mens hayre vvas long curled and very blacke their ship was of a strang fashiō It was made of 2. long faire Canoes with a good space betweene them in each Canoe about the middle thereof there lay two whole broad planckes of fayre redde vvood to keepe out the vvater and diuers planckes layd crosse ouer from the one Canoe to the other which were made fast together and hung a good way ouer on both endes without the Canoes very close aboue to keepe out the water before at the ende of one of the Canoes on starre-boord there stood a Mast at the end thereof hauing a forke whereon the yard lay The sayle vvas made of mats and as the vvinde blovve they sayled without Compasse or any Instruments for the Sea but hookes to fish withall whereof the vpper part was stone the other blacke bone or Torroyses shelles and some of them vvere mother of pearle Their ropes were very fayre and almost as thicke as a Cable made of such stuffe as the figge frayles in Spayne are When they sayled from vs they hold their course southeast The tenth We had the vvinde South southeast and southeast and by South and held our course West and southwest In the morning after breakefast we saw very high land on backeboord lying Southeast and by south about eight leagues from vs vve made to it and sayled all that day with a good gale but could not reach it and therefore held off in the night in the euening wee saw a sayle a great may beneath the land and presently after another also a great deale below they often wound to and fro and in the night they made fires and drew neere one vnto the other The eleuenth in the morning wee vvere neere a high Island and about tvvo Leagues southvvard from thence an other long low Island that day vvee sayled ouer a banke of foureteene fathome deepe stony ground lying about tvvo Leagues from the land and as soone as wee were ouer it wee could finde no more grounde One of the Shippes aforesaid came to vs and wee cast out a rope at our sterne thinking they would take it and draw themselues by is aboord our shippe but they could not gette it till one of our men leapt ouer boord and holp them to take it which they vntyed and tooke it into their shippe and tyed two Cocos nuts and 3 or 4 flying fishes to the rope and so let it go calling aloud to vs but we could not vnderstand them but we thought their meaning was that we should pull the rope on boord againe they also carry a Canoe in their ship which what time soeuer they can put out and are very good Sea men Their ships were of the fashion asoresayd with good sayles and are so swift of sayle that few ships in Holland can out sayle them They steere behind with 2. oares on each Canoe a man sometimes row with their oares before when they will wind the ship also windes of it selfe when they pull the oates out of the water and let it goe or alone with the winde vvee put out our Shalop to sound vvhich came and told vs that they had found ground at 15.14 and 12. fathome sheluie ground about a canon shot from the land wee presently made to it to anchor and tooke in our sayles The Negroes seeing that made fignes to vs to goe to the other Island and sayled thither before vs but wee anchored at the ende of the Island at fiue and twentie fathome sandie ground a great Cannon shot from the land That Island is a high hill almost like one of the Molucos Islandes full of trees most Cocos trees therefore wee called it Cocos Island The other Island is much longer but lower lying East and West As soone as wee were at an anchor there came three small shippes that sayled vp and dovvne about our shippe and at least nine or ten Canoes boorded vs some from the lande and some out of the little shippes among the which tvvo of them put out litle white flags in signe of peace and wee did the like Their Canoes which had 3. and 4. men a peece in them vvere flat before and sharpe behinde hewed out of a whole peece of reed wood Wherewith they could row exceeding swift and when they came neere the ship they leapt into the water and swam to our ship with their hands full of Cocos nuttes and Vbes rootes which they bartred vvith vs for nayles and beades whereof they were very desirous they gaue foure or fiue Cocos nutts for one naile or a small string of beades so that the same day wee bartered for 180. Cocos nuttes and at last there came so many on boord that wee scarse knew how to bestirre our selues We sent our Shalop towards the other Island to see if there vve could not lie better for there we lay in the open sea but the Shalop was no sooner off from our ship rowing along by the land but it was enclosed round about by 12 or 13. Canoes of the other Island and still more came to them the people within them shewing as if they vvere mad hauing certaine staues of hard wood in their hands like Clubs sharpe at the point and a litle burnt They boorded our Shalop and thought to haue taken it from vs but our men being thereby constrained to defend themselues let flee three muskets among them whereat first they laught and mockt thinking it but a sport but the third time one of them was shot into the brest cleane through his body which his fellowes seeing went presently to helpe him and finding him to be so sore hurt all of them kept of from the Shalop and went to one of their small shippes with sayles and calling to it would haue hadde them to ouer row the Shalop as wee gest but they would not for their Canoes had bin aboord our ship where they had beene well vsed and friendly delt with all Those people were very theeuish for in our sight they stole one of our leads wherewith our men vsed to sound and whatsoeuer they saw they would steale and swim away with it as some of them did that stole avvay one of our mens pillovves and couerlet others tooke kniues and vvhat else they could finde Wherevvith they presently leapt ouer boorde and svvam avvay so that in the night vvee vvere forst to take in our Shalop least they should cut the rope and carrie it avvay they vvere exceeding desirous of iron looking round about vpon the nayles and bolts of the shippe thinking to pull them out and to steale them avvay but they vvere to fast in the vvood They vvere lusty men vvell proportioned and of great stature and vvent all naked and vnarmed onely their priuie members couered Their haire vvas drest after diuers fashions some short and some finely curled some had long haire bound vp in plaits in seuerall manner they vvere notable svvimmers

the line in the euening with the hard streame we went close to the land and by reason it was calme anchored in vneuen ground and not deepe The 2. it was very calme and we draue with the streame west and west and by north with rainie weather The 3. vve held our course as before with a calme and found a bancke so farre in the sea that wee could scarse see the land in some places being 40. in an other 20.15 and 12. fathom sandy ground wee anchored at 12. fathom because it waxt night and the master desired to see how the streame went it was west southwest The same day we were vnder 35. minutes northward of the line and savv many Whales and Tortices Wee gest by the height that wee were at the ende of the land of Noua Guinea hauing sailed along by the coast 280. leagues that day wee saw 2 Islands more westward from vs. The 4. the winde variable our course was south west then it rained much with cloudy weather there the streame went hard west that day we savv 7. or 8. Islands as we thought and there in the night lay aloofe to keepe off from the land The fist in the morning wee draue in a calme with a variable winde our course south and south east with rainie weather and a little gale but the winde being against vs wee made towards the land which the day before wee tooke to be Islands but comming to them found no ground and therefore put out our Shalop to sound and found ground at 45. fathom close by the land As our Shalop rowed to land wee saw first 2. and then 3. Canoes more come of from the land and made towards our Shalop and being hard by it put out a flag of peace and our men the like and then went aboord the Canoes followed them and also came aboord they brought vs nothing but a muster or shew of Indian Bonties and Erties with some Ryce Tabacco and two Paradice brids wee bartered for one of them that was white and yeallow We could vnderstand them reasonable well for they spake Tarnata words and one of them spake good Malaian which language Aris Clawson our Marchant could speake well some of them spake some Spanish and among them they had a Spanish felt They wore faire clothes about their middles and some hadde silke breeches on of diuers colours some also had wreaths about their heads which they say were Turkes or Moores They ware gold and siluer rings vpon their fingers their haire was all coale blacke They bartred their ware with vs for beades but rather desired Linnen They were very warie and fearefull of vs. VVe askt them what the name of this countrie was but they would not tell vs but by many circumstances wee Iudged and verely beleeued that we were at the east ende of Gilolo on the midlemost point of the land for Gilolo reacheth out with 3. pointes to the east and that they were men of Tidore friends to the Spaniards as we also found it so to be which made vs all reioyce that after so many windings and turnings and troubles endured we were come to the place which wee knew and hoped in short time to come among our country men a thing which vve so long and so much had hopt for and desired Then wee had a small gale of winde and anchored vnder the land a Cannon shot from the shoare at 40. fathom where they brought vs Cocos and other fruit to buy they told vs that vvee lay not vvell there and it was true for in the euening vvee had a good gale and draue through That night the Canoes vvent avvay from vs promising the next day to bring vs home that day wee were the third time right vnder the Equinoctiall line The 6. in the morning they came againe from the land aboord our shippe and brought some Tabacco and porceline and some other things but vve hauing a good gale south south east and bad lying there hoyst ananchor to goe on our voyage to the Moluccos and held our course north with a good gale to goe north about the north point of Gilolo The 7. it rained and we savv the north east point of Gilolo called Moratay vvhich lay south east from vs. The 8. about noone vvee vvere vnder 4. degrees 3 minutes northvvard of the line that night it rained hard vvith thunder and lightening there vve found the stream to goe northward The 9. and 10. the vvinde vvas variable vvith rainie vveather and vvere vnder the heigh of 3. degrees 50. minutes The 11. in the morning wee sawe the land of Gilolo called Moratay againe on the northeast point of Gilolo wee did the best wee could to reach it but the streame put vs of from the land towardes the north and coulde not reach it that day The 12. and 13. we were vnder 2. degrees 58. minutes with variable windes and much raine and the like the 14.15 and 16. The 17. with great labour and much trouble wee got vnder the land late in the euening and draue along by the coast with faire wether that night we saw many fires vpon the land The 18. it was still wether and we draue along by the land about noone two Canoes came to vs with a flag of peace from the Village called Soppy they were Tarnataens with whom wee could speake well and some of them were of Gammacanor they shewed vs that a Pinnace of Amsterdam had laine there three months to lade Ryce and that about a moneth or two before also an English ship had beene there How glad we were then when we were so well assured that wee were come to so good and long desired a place after so much paine and trouble that we had endured with 85. sound men vvhen vvee had spent all our victuals euery man may iudge that hath proued the like aduenture There vve vvere vnder tvvo degrees 47. minutes and anchored at 28. fathom some of those men stayed that night vvith vs the next day to bring vs to the road of Soppy The 19. vvee sayled into the bay and there anchored at 10. fat hom sandy ground about a Cannon shot from the shore That day we bartered for some Sagovv some Hennes 2. or 3. Tortoyses and a little Rice The 20. wee bartered for a great deale of Sagow and some Ryce for Linnen Beades Kniues Glasses and Combes While wee were there a Correcor came thether to prouide Ryce and Sagow for the King of Tarnata who told vs that there was at least 20. ships Hollanders and Englishmen round about the Island of Tarnata that lay there and that there was 8. ships at the Manillas whereof foure were English and foure Dutch There we got good store of fish The 21.22.23 and 24. we still bartered for Sagow and Ryce by the small measure The 23. our men made an end of their wine The 25. in the euening we set sayle after we had laden 4. Tunne of Rice and good store
