ground, be not afraid : for this place is called The nine 

 fathoms : for thou shalt find no lesse water upon it, 

 and it is the shallowest water that thou shalt have. 



Thou must marke that Cape de Cruz maketh an 

 ende of the coast that commeth from the East to the 

 West, and beginneth the course that goeth North and 

 South, and standeth in 19. degrees, rather more then 

 lesse. 



From Cape de Cruz thou must stirre Westnorthwest : 

 and this way thou shalt have sight of the Isle de Pinos, 

 and if thou have faire weather, then thou must goe 

 Northwest, and by West, because of the currents that 

 will set thee out to sea. And keeping this course thou 

 shalt have sight of an high land. I tell thee it is the 

 marke of the Isles called los Jardines, and is commonly 

 called the land of Zagueio : and then thou shalt goe 

 West and by South : and if it bee by night, then goe 

 Westsouthwest untill thou have brought thy selfe out 

 from The Jardines. And being by day thou shalt keepe 

 off the land, and shalt goe Westnorthwest, and so thou 

 shalt see the Isle de Pinos. 



The markes to know the Cape de Santo Antonio. 



THe headland called Capo de Santo Antonio is a 

 lowe land, and full of trees, and upon the Cape it 

 selfe it hath two or three thicke woods, and the coast 

 lyeth Northwest and Southeast. And thou must also 

 take good heed that thou have sight on the same coast 

 of a white sandie Bay ; and it is on the same coast that 

 lyeth Northwest and Southeast. And these be the 

 markes from Punta de las Arenas, or The poynt of the 

 sands, to the Cape of Saint Anthonie, and from the 

 Cape de Corrientes to Punta de las Arenas thou shalt 

 have a great Bay, being so long, that if thou be not 

 very neere the shore thou canst not see land, it is so 

 low. And if thou see not the land well, it will shew 

 to be a tuft of trees. And the Cape of S. Anthony 

 standeth in 22. degrees.
