Annals of the Soutli African M/<xc/nit. 



These two vessels, the Dmyon and the Hector, were often 

 navigating in company, and numerous indeed have been their 

 calls. They were in Table Bay from September 9, 1600, to 

 October 29th on their outward voyage. 



Lancaster commanded the former, J. Middleton the latter. Both 

 vessels were again in Table Bay in July, 1604, and also on their 

 return voyage from December 27th to January 16th of the same year.

The Hector was in Table Bay in 1602, as shown by a letter of 

 Anthony Marlowe already quoted. We find again the Hector in 

 the Bay from December 18, 1607, to January 1, 1608; and the 

 Dragon, possibly on some date prior, homeward bound. Captain 

 John Saris, commanding the Clove, Hector, and Thomas, outward 

 bound, sailed from Table Bay on his outward voyage on August 9, 

 1611. The Gift, Hector, and Hope were in Table Bay in 1614.
