an Indian on horseback who hallowed unto our Canoa which had followed the Logs But our men fearing to discover who we were in case they went too near the shoar lâ—â—t the design and returned back unto us In these parts the Indians have no Canoas nor any wood indeed that may be thought fit to make them of Had we been descryed by these poor people they would in all probability have been very fearful of us But they offered not to stir which gave us to understand they knew us not We could perceive from the ship a great path leading unto the Hills So that we believed this place to be a look-out or watch-place for the security of Guayaquil Between four and five we doubled the point and then we descryed the Point Chandy at the distance of six Leagues S. S. E. from this point At first sight it seemed like unto a long Island but withal lower then that of St. Helena Tuesday August the 24th Cox's vessel taken in a Tow. this day at noon we took the other ship wherein Captain Cox sailed into a Tow she being every day a greater hinderance than before unto our Voyage Thus about three in the afternoon we lost sight of land in standing over for Cape Blanco Here we found a strong current to move unto the S. W. The wind was at S.W. by S. our course being S. by E. At the upper end of this Gulf which is framed by the two Capes aforementioned standeth the City of Guayaquil Guayaquil being a very rich place and the Embarcadero or Sea-port unto the great City of Quito Unto this place likewise many of the Merchants of Lima do usually send the Money they design for Old Spain in Barks and by that means save the Custom that otherwise they should pay unto the King by carrying it on board of the Fleet. Hither cometh much Gold from Quito and very good and strong broad-cloath together with Images for the use of the Churches and several other things of considerable value But more especially Cacao-nut whereof Chocolate is made Cacao-nut â—he best sort which is supposed here to be the best in the whole Universe The Town of Guayaquil consisteth of about one hundred and fifty great houses and twice as many little ones This was the Town unto which Captain Sawkins intended to make his Voyage as was mentioned above When ships of greater burthen come into this Gulf they anchor without Lapina and then put their lading into lesser Vessels to carry it unto the Town Towards the evening of this day a small breez sprung up varying from point to point After which about nine of the clock at night we tacked about and stood off to Sea W. by N. A 〈◊〉 taken As soon as we had tackt we hapned to espy a Sail N.N.E. from us Hereupon we instantly cast off our other Vessel which we had in a Tow and stood round about after them We came very near unto the vessel before they saw us by reason of the darkness of the night As soon as they espied us they immediately clapt on a wind and sailed very well before us insomuch that it was a pretty while before we could come up with them and within call We halled them in Spanish by means of an Indian prisoner and commanded them to lower their top-sails They answered they would soon make us to lower our own Hereupon we fired several Guns at them and they as thick at us again with their Harquibusses Thus they fought us for the space of half an hour or more and would have done it longer had we not killed the man at the Helm after whom none of the rest dared to be so hardy as to take his place With another of our shot we cut in pieces and disabled their main-top halliards Hereupon they cryed out for Quarter which we gave them and entred their ship Being possessed of the Vessel we found in her five and thirty men of which number twenty four were Natives of Old Spain They had one and thirty fire arms on board the ship for their defence They had not fought us as they declared afterwards but only out of a bravado having promised on shoar so to do in case they met us at Sea The Captain of this Vessel was a person of Quality and his Brother since the death of Don Jacinto de Barahona killed by us in the Engagement before Panama was now made Admiral of the Sea Armada With him we took also in this Bark five or six other persons of Quality They did us in this fight though short very great damage in our Rigging by cutting it in pieces Besides which they wounded two of our men And a third man was wounded by the negligence of one of our own men occasioned by a Pistol which went off unadvisedly About eleven of the clock this night we stood off to the West The next morning about break of day What information they had from the Prize we hoisted out our Canoa and went aboard the Bark which we had taken the night before We transported on board our own ship more of the Prisoners taken in the said vessel and began to examine them to learn what intelligence we could from them The Captain of the vessel who was a very civil and meek Gentleman satisfyed our desires in this point very exactly saying unto us Gentlemen I am now your prisoner at War by the over-ruling providence of fortune and moreover am very well satisfyed that no money whatsoever can procure my ransom at least for the present at your hands Hence I am perswaded it is not my interest to tell you a Lye which if I do I desire you to punish me as severely as you shall think fit We heard of your taking and destroying our Armadilla and other ships at Panama about six weeks after that Engagement by two several Barks which arrived here from thence But they could not inform us whether you designed to come any farther to the Southward but rather desired we would send them speedily all the help by Sea that we could Hereupon we sent the noise and rumour of your being in these Seas by land unto Lima desiring they would expedite what succours they could send to joyn with ours We had at that time in our Harbour two or three great ships but all of them very unfit to sail For this reason at Lima the Vice-Roy of Peru pressed three great Merchant ships into the biggest of which he put Fourteen brass guns into the second Ten and in the other Six Vnto these he added two Barks and put seven hundred and fifty Souldiers on board them all Of this number of men they landed eightscore at Point St. Helena all the rest being carryed down to Panama with design to fight you there Besides these Forces two other men of War bigger than the afore-mentioned are still lying at Lima and fitting out there in all speed to follow and pursue you One
1 ◠20 N. Wednesday July the 13th this day we dared not adventure into the Bay of San Mateo because we saw some Indians who had made a great fire on shoar which as we judged was designedly done to give intelligence of our arrival Hereupon we bore away for the River of San Tiago six leagues more or less distant from the Bay aforementioned to the North East Thursday Friday They rommage the Prize and Saturday of the said week we spent in taking out what parcels of Cacao-nut we thought sit from on board the Prize which was chiefly laden with the said Commodity This being done we cut down the Main-mast by the board And turn 〈◊〉 away and gave them only their Main-sail and thus turning the ship loose sent away in her all our old slaves for the good service they had done us taking new ones from the Prize in their room One only we still detained who was Francisco the Negro that attempted to run away by swimming ashoar as was mentioned above Sunday July the 17th this day we went from the ship and found the River of San Tiago afore-mentioned River of San Tiago At the mouth of this River we stayed Munday and Tuesday following to take in water which we now much wanted On the sides of the River we found good store of Plantans Our fresh water we fetched the distance of four miles up the River We saw several Indians but could not speak with them they were so shy of us being forewarned by the Spaniards not to come near us On wednesday July the 20th we shared our plunder among our selves They make a dividend or rather this day made part of the dividend of what we had taken the rest being reserved to another day Our prisoners being examined informed us that the Spaniards had taken up our Anchors and Cables which we left behind us at the Isle of Juan Fernandez Also that they had surprized the Mosquito Indian that we left behind us there on shoar by the light of a fire which he made in the night upon the Isle Tuesday July the twenty first all the four and twenty hours last past we stood off and in They share the rest of the goods The next day we shared the rest of our things taken in the Prize as also the Money that was in the bags the rest we laid up to divide upon another occasion Especially after such time as we were got through the Straights of Magallanes Our dividend amounted to the sum of 234 Pieces of Eight unto each man Our prisoners informed us this day that a new Vice-roy of Peru was arrived at Panama and that he dared not adventure up to Lima in a ship of twenty five guns that was at Panama for fear of meeting with us at Sea but had chose rather to stay until the Armada came down from Lima to safeguard and conduct him thither July the 23 we had a fresh breeze at S.W. And the next day a clear observation which gave us only Latitude 14. m. North. This day Cape San Francisco at N.E. appeared thus unto us Cabo de San Francisco Munday July the 25th this day we observed Latitude 01 d. 20 S. And we had a South West wind July the 26th this morning we had a very great dew fallen in the night last past The weather in like manner was very close On Wednesday July the 27th Cape Passao at S.S.W. and at six leagues distance appeared thus Cabo Passao The same morning about seven of the clock we espied a sail E.S.E. from us under the shoar They espy another sail at sea We presently gave her close chace as eagerly as we could and about noon came up with her But several of the people belonging to her were already got to shoar whereby they made their escape from being taken our prisoners These were chiefly a Fryar who was either a passenger or Chaplain to the vessel and five Negroes She proved to be a Barco de Aviso VVhich is taken or Pacquet-boat that was going with Letters from Panama to Lima. In this Barque we took among other Prisoners two white women who were passengers to the same place Both these and the rest of the prisoners told us they had heard at Panama that we were all gone out of these Seas homewards over land and that made them adventure now up towards Lima otherwise they had not come This day and Thursday following we spent in taking out of the Pacquet-boat what we could find in her which all were things of no considerable value they having scarce brought any thing with them but the Pacquet They told us moreover that the new Vice-roy of Peru of whom we made mention above was setting forth from Panama under the conduct of three sail of ships the one of sixteen the other of eight and the third of six Guns That a general peace was all over Europe excepting only that the English had wars with the Argerines by Sea and the Spaniards by land Having got what we could out of the prisoners and the vessel we gave them their liberty and sent them away in the same Barque as being desirous not to encumber ourselves with more then we could well manage That night we stood out to Sea all night long most of our men being fudled CHHP. XXI They take another Spanish ship richly laden under the Aequinoctial They make several Dividends of their booty among themselves They arrive at the Isle of Plate where they are in danger of being all Massacred by their Slaves and Prisoners Their departure from thence for the Port and Bay of Paita with design to plunder the said place THe next morning after we had turned away the Pacquet-Boat afore-mentioned 〈…〉 with 〈◊〉 Prize the weather being very close we espied another sail creeping close under our Lee. This vessel looked mighty big so that we thought she had been one of their chiefest men of war who was sent to surprize or destroy us Notwithstanding our brave Commander Captain Sharp resolved to fight her and either to take the said vessel though never so big or that she should take us Unto this effect coming nearer unto her we easily perceived she was a Merchant ship of great bulk as most of your Spanish Vessels are and withal very deeply laden Being up with them those within her fired three or four Guns at us first thinking to make their party good against us But we answered them briskly with a continual volley of small Arms so that they soon ran down into the Hold And take her and surrendred crying aloud for quarter As it should seem we had killed in that Volley their Captain and one Seaman and also wounded their Boat-swain which loss of their Commander daunted them so suddenly he being a man of good repute in those Seas Captain Sharp with twelve more of our Company entered her the first In this Vessel I saw the beautifullest woman that I ever
or Current drove us to the Westward of Cabo Blanco Off of this Cape and at the distance of two miles within the Sea is situate a naked and nothing but barren Key At E. by N. and at four leagues distance Cape Blanco gave us this appearance Cabo BLANCO Lat. 9 D. 30 N. The Coast here along runneth N. W half W. and groweth lower and lower towards Cape Guyones This Cape now mentioned at seven leagues distance and at N. W. by N. appeared thus unto us Cabo de Guyones Lat. 10 D. 00 N. At first sight the Cape appeared very like unto two Islands The latter part of this day was cloudy which hindred much our prospect June the 2d This morning we saw land which appeapeared like several Keys to us at N. W. by N. and at seven leagues distance It was the land of Puerto de Velas and appeared thus Puerto de VELAS They resolve to careen and then cruize This evening our Captain called us together and asked our opinions concerning the course we ought to steer Having discussed the points by him proposed amongst us we all resolved to bear up for Golfo Dulce and there to careen our Vessels This being done we concluded to go from thence unto the Cape and cruize thereabouts under the Equinoctial We observed this day that our Bark taken at the Gulf of Nicoya sailed much better than our ship Friday June the 3d. The night before this day was very fair and we had a fresh wind our course being S. E. This morning we saw no land In the evening the wind came about at S. S. W. and S. W. by S. June the 4th This day we stood E. and E. by N. the wind being W. and W. by N. In the evening we stood N. E. and descryed land at the distance of twenty four leagues more or less from Cabo Blanco Sunday June the 5th Last night we lay by for all or the greatest part thereof This morning we saw the Island of Cano above described which bore E. S. E. from us We saw likewise multitudes of fish but they would not bite Also Water-snakes of divers colours June the 6th All the night past we had rain and with it but little wind Yea scarce enough to carry us clear off from the Island afore-mentioned Towards morning we had a fresh wind at N. N. W. So then we stood out S. until morning and this being come we stood N. E. by E. The land runneth from Punta Mala to Golfo Dulce and Punta Borrica E. S. E. half S. At nine leagues distance we laid the Island of Cano. And Punta Borrica at the same distance or thereabouts looketh thus Punta Borrica Lat. 8 D. 00 N. The West-end of Golfo Dulce is very high land and a high rock lye close off it Besides which two other rocks lyeth farther out the outermost of which is a mile distant from the shoar The East-side is also high but breaketh into small points and bays growing lower and lower to Punta Borrica We came within the mouth of the Gulf about the space of a mile They anchor Then we anchored in eight fathom and a half water The mouth of the Gulf is almost three leagues over The next day being June the 7th we weighed anchor again at young flood and got about two leagues higher At evening we came again to an anchor in the depth of seven fathom and a half water It rained this day until eight of the clock Much rain more like the pouring down of water from the clouds than the usual falling of drops Wednesday June the 8th at day break we weighed anchor again with a fresh Sea-breeze The higher up we went the deeper we found the Gulf and at last no ground even with thirty fathom of line This day we sent our Canoa away to seek water and a good place to lay our ship in Having landed they found one Indian and two boys all which they made prisoners and brought aboard They take three prisoners Here we used them very kindly giving them victuals and cloaths for they had no other than the bark of a tree to cover their nakedness withal Being examined they informed us that a Spanish Priest had been amongst them and had made Peace with their Nation ordering them strictly not to come near any ship nor vessel that had red Colours forasmuch as that they were English-men and would certainly kill them Being asked where now the Priest was they answered he was gone to a great Spanish Town which was distant from thence four sleeps up in the Country After this the Indian left the two boys which were his children with us and went to fetch more Indians unto us from a Plantane-walk or grove situate by a river a league off or thereabouts We came to an anchor in a Bay close by one of the Indian Keys where two fresh Rivers were within a stones throw of each other in twenty seven fathom and a half water and at a cables length from the mark of low water The Indians whom our prisoner went to seek came to us several times selling unto us Honey Plantanes and other necessaries that we usually bought of them or truckt for with other things We also made use of their bark-logs in tallowing our ship in which concern they did us good service Their Darts are headed with iron as sharp as any razor Here one of the prisoners which we took at the Gulf of Nicoya informed us by what means A peace forced upon the Indians of Darien or rather stratagem of War the Spaniards had forced a peace upon the Indians of the Province of Darien since our departure from thence The manner was as followeth A certain Frenchman who ran from us at the Island of Taboga unto the Spaniards was sent by them in a ship to the Rivers mouth which disembogueth from that Province into the South-Sea Being arrived there he went ashoar by himself in a Canoa and told the Indians that the English who had passed that way were come back from their adventures in the South-Sea Withal he asked them if they would not be so kind and friendly unto the English men as to come aboard and conduct them on shoar The poor deceived Indians were very joyful to understand this good news and thus forty of the chiefest men amongst them went on board the Spanish vessel and were immediately carryed prisoners at War to Panama Here they were forced to conclude a peace though upon terms very disadvantageous unto them before they could obtain their liberty These poor and miserable Indians of Golfo dulce would come every day into our company They 〈◊〉 their vessel and eat and drink very familiarly with us all the time we were there We laid our ship on ground but the water did not ebb low enough to see her keel Mean while we were careening our vessel we built a house upon the shoar both to lodge and eat in and
every day we caught plenty of good fish On Sunday June the 12th the work of Careening our ship going on in due order we came to cleanse our hold A strange accident and here on a suddain both my self and several others were strucken totally blind with the filth and nastiness of the said place Yet soon after we recovered our sight again without any other help than the benefit of the fresh and open air which dissipated those malignant vapours that oppressed our eyes On June the 14th we had a great and fierce Tornado with which our Cable broke A great danger and had it not then hapned to be high water at that instant we had been lost inevitably However we had the good fortune to shoar her up again and by that means secure our selves from farther danger On June the 21. we weighed anchor again and went a league higher than the former place Here we watered and in the mean while left men below to cut wood Two Negroes make their escape Thursday June the 23. this day ran away from us two Negroes the name of one of them was Hernando who was taken with Don Thomas de Argandona upon the Coast of Guayaquil as was mentioned above The other was named Silvestre being taken at the Town of Hilo Following the example of these afore-mentioned on Munday June the 27th that is four days after two more of our prisoners endeavoured to make their escape both of them slaves One of these was named Francisco who was a Negro and had been taken in the Cacao-ship mentioned before The name of the other was also Francisco and he was an Indian born Others endeavour it but are taken who was taken before Panama Their attempts to escape succeeded not for we caught them both again before they got on shoar On Tuesday following I went to sail up and down the Gulf in the little Bark belonging to our ship and having viewed all places took this description of Golfo Dulce here inserted Our Captain gave this Gulf the name of King CHARLES his Harbour Adescription of Golfo Dulce CHAP.

An account of their Sailings and the Coasts along OUr vessel being now careened and all things in a readiness for our departure They resolve to go and cruise on Tuesday June the 28th in the afternoon we weighed anchor to go to Sea again turning out towards the mouth of Golfo Dulce Our design was to cruise under the Aequinoctial as had been concluded upon before thereby to get what purchase we could by Sea seeing the greatest part of our attempts upon land had proved hitherto very unsuccessful unto us Wednesday June the 29th both the night last past and this day we had rainy weather About three in the afternoon a fresh gale sprang up at S. W. and S.S.W. our course being S. E. and S. E. by S. At five this evening the Gulf bore N. W. by W. being seven leagues distant and Punta Borrica three leagues and an half distant The bark out-saileth the ship Thursday June the 30th all night past we enjoyed a fresh gale at S.S.W. We sailed in the Barque where I was better than the man of war for so we called the Trinity vessel notwithstanding that she was newly cleansed and tallowed This day we had hasey weather and I reckoned my self from Punta Borrica S.S.E. eighteen leagues and an half Tornados July the first 1681 last night we had two or three Tornados I reckoned this day a S.S.E. way and by a clear observation found Lat. 6 d. 10. North. We saw great quantities of fish as we sailed this day July the second we made a S. East way and our reckoning was 64 by it By observation I found Lat. 5 d. 20. North. At noon the same day we had a fresh gale at S.W. with some rain July the third we had hasey weather We made a S.E. by S. way and 37.

North. In the evening of the said day we lost sight of the said ship The next day being July the eighth we saw the ship again whose loss began to create some concern in our minds This day we made very high land all along as we went And the Port or rather Bay of San Mateo or St. Matthews appeared unto us like several Islands Saturday July the ninth this morning we stood fair in with the Port of Tucames Off of the highest part of the land seemeth to lye a Key At the North East point of the Port it appeareth exactly thus Puerto de Tucames This day at noon we had a clear observation which gave us Lat. 01 d 22 North. Sunday July the tenth last night past we stood off to Sea thereby to keep clear of the shoar This days observation shewed us Lat. 01 d. 31. North. About noon the same day we hapned to espy a Sail They espy a Sail. unto which immediately we gave chace We bore up one point of the Compass thereby to hinder her lasking away but notwithstanding in the evening lost sight of her again However our great ship got up with her and about eight of the clock at night made her a Prize She proved to be the same ship named San Pedro which we had taken the last year being then bound from Truxillo to Panama and laden with Wine Gunpowder and pieces of Eight whereof mention was made in its due place Thus this same bottom became doubly fortunate unto us being twice taken by us in the space of fourteen Months For she had on board her now twenty one thousand pieces of Eight in eight Chests and in bags sixteen thousand more besides Plate Munday and Tuesday the 11th and 12th of the said Month we made in for the shoar Our Prize was so deeply laden that she seemed clearly to be buryed in the water She had forty men on board her besides some Merchants â—nd Fryars On Tuesday an observation gave us Lat.
