the General consented heereupon our Master called the Pilot to see if he had any skil in the Plat and so to let him depart and all the rest But when thus treacherously they offered vs the first abuse we could doe no lesse then we did being in our owne defence and for the safegard of our liues Yet did some fiue or sixe of these villaines recouer a Pangaia by their excellent swiftnesse in swimming and escaped to the shore they swimming to windward faster then our Pinnis could rowe In this skirmish were hurt but thrée of our Company namely Master Glascocke with two wounds whereof one was a deepe wound in his backe Master Tindals was aimed at his breast he hauing nothing in his hand to defend himselfe yet by the assistance of the Almighty he turned himselfe about and receiued the stabbe in his arme and our Masters was in his belly as is formerly said which God be thanked they all recouered and were well cured The 19. day of Ianuary wée espied many Ilands which the Portugals call by the name of Almaisant being to the number of nine Ilands al vnpeopled as the Portugals write and affirme The 20. day we sent our Pinnis in the morning to one of those Ilands to séeke fresh water but could finde none yet they found there great store of Land Turtles and brought some sixe aboard then wee sailed ●o an other Iland which seemed more likely for fresh water then the first where we cast Ancor The 21. day about ten of the Clock in the forenoone Riding there at twelue or thirtéene fathome water and a reasonable good harbour we staied there vntill the first day of February and then waighed Ancor and departed Here we refreshed our selues very well with fresh water Coquonuts fish Palmitoes and Doues great plenty The first day of February we set saile and sailed with a faire winde vntill the 19. day that wée passed the Equinoctiall line and on the fiftéenth day in the morning betime we came within ken of land which was the coast of Melueidey vpon the maine The 16. day we came to an Ancor about nine of the Clocke in the morning at 12. fathome water and some two leagues from the shore and presently wee sent our Pinnis to the shore to séeke some refreshing but they could by no meanes get on shore nor would the people of the Countrey being fearefull come within parly which at their returne they certified our Master of and so in the afternoone we set saile againe and departed Now about this time it pleased God by the confession of William Acton one of our ship boies to reueale a foule and detestable sinne committed amongst vs which being approued against him by a Iury hée was condemned to die and was executed for the same on the third day of March being Friday in the morning The 21. day betimes in the morning we espied an Iland standing in the height of 12. Degrées and 17. minutes being barren and vnpeopled ouer against which Iland some thrée leagues distant stood foure hillocks or rocks for this Iland we bore vp a whole day and a night and finding it to be barren and vnpeopled by sending our skiffe on shore wée passed by it and the same day wée espied thrée Ilands more about sunne setting standing in the height of 12. Degrées and 29. minutes to which Ilands we came the 29. day of March 1609. two of which Ilands were within a league one of another and the third we found to be Sacatora and standeth in 12. Degrées and 24. minutes where we Ancored in a fine Bay the 30. day in the morning about ten of the Clocke At sight of vs the Ilanders made a fire and wée sent our skiffe an shore but the people fled with great feare and trembling hauing as it séemed beene formerly iniured by some that had passed 〈…〉 our men looking about found no likelie-hood of any reléefe there and so came aboard and certified the Generall thereof so that about fiue of the clock in the afternoone wée waighed ancor and sailed along to find out the chiefe harbor The 31. day we stood of into the main Sea wher we met with a Guzarat ship laden with Cotton woolls Callicoes and Pentathoes béeing bound for Adden whether wée kept her company in regard they told vs it was a Towne of great trading but wée found it quite contrary for it was onely a Towne of garison and many Souldiers in it and at the very entring into the Towne is a Castle cut out of the maine and incompassed round with the Sea wherein are thirty two péeces of Ordinance and fiftie péeces in the towne The 10. day of Aprill wee arriued there and the Guzarat ship went into the Towne and told the Gouernour there was an English Ship come to trade there Who presently sent his Admirall to vs and our Generall vnaduisedly went on shore where hée and his fellowes were receiued with 4. great Horses and were caried before the Gouernour in as great pomp and state as the Towne could yéeld But the Gouernor finding him to be a plaine and simple man put him in a house with a Chowse or kéeper with many Ianyzaries or Souldiers to gard him and so kept him prisoner sixe wéekes my selfe being prisoner with him And then the Gouernor caused him to send aboard for Iron Tinne and Cloath to the value of 2500.

and Thomas Clarke were condemned and iudged to die and were hanged in the Pinnace where they did the fact and on the other two God shewed his iust iudgement afterwards For Edward Hilles was eaten with Caribs or Man-eaters and the other died and rotted where hée lay The third day of Iune wée waighed ancor and sailed into the Red-sea thorow the straights of Mockoo which are some league ouer from shore to shore and 18 fathome water close aboard the Iland shore and about 3. leagues in length When you are within the Straits there lieth a great shole some two leagues of into the Sea and to shunne it you must take a good breadth off and so you shal come in no danger and then you haue to Mockoo some 6. leagues where is a good Road to ancor in and faire ground and you may ride at 14. fathome water It is a place that is neuer without shipping for it is a Towne of great trade of merchandize and hath Carrauans or Conuoies that come from Seena from Mecha from grand Cairo and Alexandria and all those places It is a City of great trading for our Commodities as Tynne Iron Lead Cloth Sword blades and all English commodities It hath a great Bussart or Market euery day in the wéeke There is great store of fruit as Apricocks Quinces Dates Grapes abundance Peaches Limmons and Plantins great store which I much maruelled at in regard rhe people of the Countrey told vs they had no raine in seuen yéeres before and yet there was very good Corne and good store for eightéene pence a bushell There are Oxen Shéepe and Goats abundance as an Oxe for 3.
