Sierras de 5 

 Martin. 



white sande like houreglasse sand, and sometime peri- 

 winkles or small shelles ; and by and by you shall goe 

 increasing depth, until you lose it, and so shal you 

 passe between the Triangle and the Sandy Hand. 



The course betweene the Triangle and the Sandy 

 Island to S. Juan de Ullua. 



WHen you have lost your depth, stirre away South- 

 west to fetch the Sierras or hils of S. Martin : 

 and to knowe the hils of S. Martin, there are 2. hils 

 stretching Northeast and Southwest, and the Southwest 

 is greater then that on the Northeast, but the Norther- 

 most hill is higher, and maketh on the top a flat point 

 and very high, and without it, it hath an Island which 



Roco partida. is called Roca partida, or The cloven rock: and if it be 

 cleare, on the Southwest side an high lande like a top- 

 saile will appeare, and then shall you bee North and 



Or Minsapa. South with The Pan or Loafe of Nisapa. Note, that 

 these Sierras or Hilles of Sant Martin are all blacke 

 and full of trees, and make no shewe as Villa rica doth : 

 And marke this, that by how much you come neerer 

 them, so much the higher will they shewe unto you : 

 neither shall you finde any bottome till you bee at the 

 very shore. 



The course from Roca partida or The cloven 

 rocke to S. Juan de Ullua. 



IF you depart from Roca partida or The cloven 

 rocke for Sant Juan de Ullua, you must stir away 

 Westnorthwest, and so shall you fetch or fall with 

 the point of Anton Mislardo: and if you happen to 

 sound upon The sunken rocks called Cabezas anegadas, 

 you shall have black sand and 17. fathom water, and 

 you shall bee but a league from the land, and if you 

 bee 2. leagues from the land, you shall have 34. 

 fathoms.
