Markes of Cayo Romano. 



CAyo Romano is an high Island, and lyeth Northeast This Island 

 and Southwest, and stretcheth it selfe as it were 4. f'^^'^ ^'^°- 

 1 1 • • -VT 1 o c L • leagues from 



leagues: and comming on it Northeast oc bouthwest, it Havana. 



maketh a loafe or round heape or homock ; in the midst 

 there are two saddles, as wee terme them, or lowe partitions, 

 the one on the one side, and the other on the other side ; 

 and comming with it North and South, it maketh all one 

 lowe send or saddle in the midst. And if night should 

 come on you at this Cayo Romano, enter not the [HI. 623.] 

 chanell, because in the mid way is an Isle, flat, or Cayo, 

 which lyeth North and South with Cayo Romana, and 

 it is called Cayo de la Cruz : and at full sea you shall 

 discerne a heath, which this Cayo hath in the midst of 

 it, which is like to a saile ; but al night beare but 

 your foresaile a glasse one way and another glasse the 

 other way untill it be day, and then enter the chanell, 

 and leave these Cayos, on the larbourd side of you. 

 Note, that if you bee within sight of the Parcel, and Th^ great 

 see two litle Islands of white sand, that then you are ' ^^^^ ' 

 on the cantell of the Parcel : and if you goe more a 

 head coasting the Parcell, about fifteene leagues, you 

 shall see three Islands full of trees, which are called Las LasAnguilks. 

 Anguillas and all these three Islands beare North and 

 South one from another. Item from Cayo de Cruz to 

 Havana, if it be by day, stir away West Northwest ; 

 but if it be by night, then stir a point more to the 

 Westward : and if in this course you chance to see the 

 Parcell, feare not ; for in the lowest water there are 

 sixe fathomes ; then cast about to the Southwestward to 

 get out about two glasses, and then stir away West- 

 northwest untill it be day and so shall you goe by the 

 Cayos : and in this course you must keepe twentie 

 foure leagues or thereabout. And from this Cayo de Another Cayo 

 Cruz sixe or seven leagues lyeth another Cayo upon f^'r^^f^J^^ 

 the Northeast and by North, which is great and white, q^^^^
