 three Hands called Las tres Marias, (that is to say, The 

 three Maries) running the same course. About foure 

 leagues from the other Hands, there are other Hands, 

 reaching about two or three leagues : All this way from [III. 447.] 

 the mouth or gulfe of California aforesayd, for the space 

 of the sayd fourescore leagues, there are great streames 

 that run Westward. 



From the point or Cape de las Corrientes, wee ranne 

 Southeast, and sometimes Southeast and by East, for the 

 space of an hundred and thirtie leagues to the haven of 

 Acapulco. In this way of an hundred and thirtie leagues, 

 being twentie leagues on the way, we had the haven of 

 Natividad, that is, of the birth of the Virgin Mary : and 

 other eight leagues further, the haven of Saint lago, or 

 Saint James : and sixe leagues further, the sea Strand 

 called La Playa de Colima, that is, the Strand of Colima. 

 All this coast from California to the haven of Acapulco is Acapulco. 

 inhabited by people that have peace and traffique with the 

 Spaniards, and are of condition and qualities like the 

 people of the other places of new Spaine. 



The conclusion of the Author of this last voyage. 



A LI this description and navigation have I my selfe 

 seene, prooved, and well noted in my voyage made & 

 ended in the yeere of our Lord 1584. from great China 

 out of the haven and river of Canton, as I will more at 

 large set it downe unto your honour, with the longitudes 

 and latitudes thereof, as God shall permit mee time and 

 leysure, whom I beseech to send you long and happie 

 dayes. 



And the same was truely translated out of Spanish into 

 lowe Dutch verbatim out of the Originall copie, (which 

 was sent unto the Viceroy of the Portugall Indies) by 

 John Huyghen Van Linschoten.
