first_o of_o march_n in_o the_o morning_n we_o see_v the_o island_n of_o john_n fernando_n right_a before_o we_o north_n north-east_n with_o a_o south_n wind_n fair_a weather_n and_o a_o good_a gale_n about_o noon_n we_o get_v to_o they_o under_o 33._o degree_n and_o 48._o minute_n these_o be_v two_o island_n both_o of_o they_o very_o high_a land_n the_o small_a lie_v most_o westward_a be_v a_o

very_o fruitful_a therein_o be_v many_o beast_n as_o hog_n and_o goat_n upon_o the_o coast_n admirable_a number_n of_o good_a fish_n which_o make_v the_o spaniard_n often_o time_n come_v thither_o to_o fish_n and_o in_o short_a time_n fill_v their_o ship_n and_o carry_v they_o to_o peru._n we_o go_v on_o the_o west_n side_n of_o those_o island_n which_o be_v not_o well_o for_o we_o for_o

behind_o the_o land_n we_o shall_v have_v get_v under_o the_o land_n in_o the_o calm_a water_n because_o the_o land_n there_o be_v high_a and_o calm_a so_o that_o we_o can_v not_o get_v to_o the_o

in_o great_a stream_n run_v down_o off_o the_o hill_n they_o likewise_o see_v many_o goat_n and_o other_o beast_n upon_o the_o hill_n which_o they_o can_v not_o well_o know_v be_v so_o far_o off_o they_o have_v also_o in_o short_a time_n take_v a_o great_a number_n of_o good_a fish_n for_o the_o hook_n be_v no_o soon_o in_o the_o water_n but_o present_o they_o take_v fish_n so_o that_o continual_o without_o cease_v they_o do_v nothing_o but_o draw_v up_o fish_n most_o of_o they_o be_v corcobados_n and_o steenbrass_n and_o see_v many_o sea_n wolf_n these_o news_n cheer_v up_o our_o man_n special_o those_o that_o be_v trouble_v with_o looseness_n hope_v there_o to_o refresh_v themselves_o that_o night_n it_o be_v calm_a weather_n so_o that_o the_o stream_n drive_v we_o somewhat_o

again_o send_v our_o man_n on_o land_n some_o to_o fish_n and_o some_o to_o seek_v for_o cattle_n they_o see_v many_o hog_n goat_n and_o other_o beast_n but_o by_o reason_n that_o the_o wood_n be_v
