three hogs more Which hee brought aboord the shippe and then wee prepared our selues to set sayle to the great contentment of the Indians of that Island because as long as wee were there they alwayes feared we would kil them and take their country from them Those people were men of good vnderstanding and of great stature for the least man of them was as big as the tallest of vs and the tallest of them was farre higher then any of vs they were strong men and well proportioned of body and limbs they went very fast and swam and diued vnder the water excellent well their colour was altogether browne yealow they were very curious in the dressing and trimming of their haire some hadde it curled some frizled some ware it bound vp in long foldes 4.5 or 6. together as our women doe in haire-laces and some which was strange to see had their haire standing vpright vpon their heads about a quarter of an elle long like hogs bristles The king had a long locke of haire on the left side of his head that hung downe beneath his hipps bound vp with a knot or two His gentlemen hadde two such lockes on each side of their heads one they went naked all alike both men and women onely some litle thing handsomely tyed before their priuie members The women were very vnsightly both in face and body of small stature Their haire cut close to their heades as our mens in Holland their brests long hanging downe to their bellies like lether satchels they are very lecherous for they suffer themselues to be vsed by their men openly in all mens sight and in the kings owne presence onely vnder a mat We could not perceiue that they worshipped God or any Gods or vsed any deuotion neither the one nor the other but liued without care like birdes in the wood They had no skill of buying or selling but with flaggs they deliuered vs some what and vvee in like sort to them againe They neither sowe nor reape nor doe any worke There the earth of it selfe yeeldes all that they neede to sustaine their liues as Cocos Vbas Bananas and such like fruit When the water falles The women looke vpon the shoare on the sea side for fishes and when they will they take them with their hookes and eate them raw so that there men may plainely behold and see the golden world whereof the Poets vvrite When vvee left that Island vvee called it Horne Island after the name of the towne from whence vvee came and the bay vvherein vvee anchored the Vnities bay after our shippes name that day for the most part vve were busie to get out and to hoyse vp our anchors one of our cables vvas fretted in peeces with the sharpenesse of the ground where it lay so vvee lost that anchor then wee drew vp an other anchor and the cable fretting vpon a cliffe brake as wee wound it vp and lost that anchor also This bay lies on the south side of the Eye land in a docke on the one side their is a sand which at low water is dry on the other side the firme land but yet foule vpon the Shore There vve lay with foure anchors and foure cables out at 10. fathom sandy ground about a musket shot from the litle riuer from vvhence the fresh water ran Wee might vvell haue lyen with the ship in the litle riuer without danger in the place vvhere vvee lay vve could not stirre because it vvas so narrovv about noone vve vvere vnder sayle and ranne West south vvest till euening to get into the broad sea after that vve held our course vvest vvith an east vvinde glad that vve had eased and refreshed our selues so vvell at that good Island and vvere so vvell prouided of good vvater some hogs Vbas rootes and a great number of Cocos nuts and Bananas the place vvhere vvee lay is vnder 14. degees 56. minutes The first of Iune about noone we were vnder 13. degrees 15. minutes the vvinde east our course North. The next day the vvind still continued easterly and vve went northvvest and vvest and most part northvvest and by vvest with a hard course vve vvere vnder 14. degrees 45. minutes then wee savv great store of birds and held vvest and vvest south vvest with hollow billowes out of the south southeast The 20. the winde northeast wee vvent vvest and in the euening saw land all that night driuing without sayle to keepe off from the land and then were vnder 4. degrees 50. minutes The 21. the winde east vvee made towards the land that was very low and going neere vnto it found many sands which strecht northvvest of from the land there were 3. or 4. Islands all very small but full of trees There a Canoe boorded vs being of the same fashion as afore but some what greater able to hold 5 or 6 men The men in all respectes as the former and spake the same language but some what blacker hauing some thing before their priuie members Their armes vvere bowes and arrowes which were the first bowes that wee saw among the Indians in the south sea wee gaue them some beades and nayles but they pointed towards the West to tell vs that there was more land where their king dwelt and many things to be hadde Therefore vve held our course vvestvvard againe finding no fit place to anchor in This Island lay south southvvest and vvest from vs vnder 4. degrees 47. minutes The 22. the winde east south east wee sayld west and vvest and by north vnder 4. degrees 45. minutes that quarter wee hadde a good gale of vvinde and faire weather and that day saw at least twelue or thirteene Islands one close by an other vvest south vvest from vs reaching southeast and northvvest about halfe a league but sayled along by them leauing them on backeboord The 24. the vvinde south at noone wee saw land on back-boord being 3. low Islands that lay southwest from vs very greene and full of trees two of them were 2 miles long a peece the third very litle the shore was hard cliffie ground there likewise we could find no anchoring wee called them the Greene Islands We also saw a high Island that had 7. or 8. houels forth right lying west by north from vs in the night we held off and on staying till day The 25. in the morning as wee were sayling by the aforesaid Island we saw other land before vs in the southwest which was exceeding high which we thought to be the poynt of Noua Guinea we made towards it leauing the other high Island that lay westward which we called S. Iohns Island because it was S. Iohn Baptists day About noone wee got to it and sayled along by it with an east southeast wind but could find no anchor ground we sent out our Shalop to sound the depth that went along by the shore betweene the ship and it and being somewhat neare the shore there came

before and held our course South That day our men had double allowance of wine because we had past the dangerous sands called Abrothos The day ensewing to the 10. wee held our course for the most part south and Southwest and were vnder 25 degrees 33. minutes The 11 we found our compasse to varie 17 degrees northeastward and with a south wind held our course West and west and by south The 12 with a southeast and by east and an east winde we sayled south southwest and southwest and were vnder 26 degrees 45 minutes The 13 14 and 15 wee sailed south and southwest with an east winde The 16 17 and 18 the winde south we held for the most part west south west and were vnder 34 degrees 15. minutes and saw much Walschot driue The 19. with a north and northeast wind wee sayled south south west and perceiued that the streame draue vs much to the south The 20. we were vnder 36. degrees 57. minutes there wee saw many Quallen driue and a great number of sea lice which are a kind of lice for greatnesse like to small flies The 21. we were vnder 38 degrees 25. minutes and had alteration of water there wee cast out our leade but found no ground the compasse then varied 17 degrees northeastward that morning wee saw the new Moone being 21. howers old The 22 it was ordered by our master and his counsell that one man should haue a cup of sacke euery day and a measure of oyle weekely our french wine and butter being all spent The 23. we saw many Whales and white water and were vnder 40 degrees 56. minutes The 24. we saw many more great fishes and much Odenkwos driue the water very hollow out of the west and saw many birds The 30. we had white water as if we had bin hard by the land and were vnder 46. degrees 15. minutes and saw many birds The 2. of December being vnder 47. degrees 45. minutes we saw much Steencrosse driue The 4. we still saw Steencrosse white water and many birds and were vnder 47 degrees 25 minutes and 16. degrees northeastward variation of the compasse then wee cast out our lead and found 75 fathom sandy ground The 5. wee cast out our lead and had 65. fathom savv many birds and Steencrosse then we were vnder 46 degrees 25 minutes and had 54. fathom that night wee saw many Whales The 6. in the morning vve had 46 fathom vvater and vvith a northvvest vvinde sayled vvest southvvest and at noone vvere vnder 40 degrees 37 minutes and had 42 fadome vvater about 4 in the after noone vvee savv land not very high but vvhite and some vvhat flat vvee fell according to our desire on the north side of Porto Desire and at night anchored at 10 fathom deepe about a league and a halfe from the shoare vvith an ebbe that ran Southvvard as strongly as the sea runs betvveene Flushing heads The 7. in the morning vve hoysed anchor and sailed South vntill noone then vve vvere before the hauen of Porto Desire lying vnder 47. degrees 40 minutes and made towards the entrie thereof where we had very high water so that the cliffes wherof Oliuer van Noort writeth vvhich sayling into that hauen must be left northvvard from vs were cleane vnder water but on the south point there lay certaine cliffes open which we tooke to be those and therefore went southward on but sayled southward of the right chanell into a crooked bay and there at high water anchored at foure fathom and a halfe and when the water was low wee had but 14. footwater whereby the Vnitie lay with her stearne fast on ground it being ful of cliffes the wind was west from the land smooth water to our great fortune for if wee had had an east vvinde vvith any gale for certaine vve had lost our ship vpon the cliffes vve found many eggs and tooke great mustles and other fish and among the rest smelts of 16 inches long and for that cause vve called that place the Smelt bay our Shallop vvent to the Pinguijns Iland lying east southeast tvvo leagues from Porto Desire and came aboord againe late in the euening bringing 2 sea Lyons and 150 Pinguijns vvhich vve eate the next day The 8 in the morning vvith the land vvind vve sayled out of the Smelt bay and anchored right before the hauen of Porto Desire and sent our Shalop out to sound the depth of the channell and found 12 and 13 fathom entering in after noone vvith a high vvater and a northeast wind wee set saile the Horne first and so entred into the hauen When wee had sayled about a league and a halfe into the riuer the winde turned and we anchored at 20 fathom there the ground vvas slippery stones for about halfe an houre after the winde blowing hard north west both our ships lying with 2. anchors a peece out presently draue vpon the South shoare for there 25 anchors could not haue holden them so that wee verily thought both our ships would there be cast away The great ship sat with herside vpon the cliffes and shoke with the falling water some what lower and still kept stanch but the Horne fell vpon the cliffes so that the water went cleane from it whereby at low water a man might haue gone drie foote vnder the keele right against the maine mast the keele was aboue a fathom out of the water fearefull to be hould but as the winde blew hard northwest it kept it from falling ouer which appeared to be so for that when the winde ceased it fell from the land against the winde vpon the side at least three foote lower then the keele whereat we were all abasht thinking wee had surely lost her but when the floud came with still weather it rose vp againe whereat we all reioyced In the morning with calme weather we wound of from the wall and the same night the Horne came to vs. The 9. in the morning we set sayle againe and went further into the riuer and came to the Kings Island so called by Oliuer Van Noort the Horne went behinde it and there anchored but we could not get in with the Vnitie because the winde was contrarie our men went on shore into the Island which was almost couered ouerwith eggs for a man standing still on his feete with his hands might reach to 54. neasts each hauing 3 or 4 eggs a peece much like but some what greater then Sea-Mues eggs the birdes were blackish Sea-mewes wee carried thousands of them on board and eate them The 10. our boate vvent on the north side of the riuer to seeke for fresh vvater but found none for digging holes of 14. foote deepe they found brackish vvater both on the high hilles and in the valleys and returning on boord againe brought great store of birds and egs vvith them The 11. the boate vvent lovver into the Riuer on the south side to seeke for men and vvater and found
