ad. THE ENGLISH VOYAGES 



1589. 



The 28. we lay sixe glasses a hull tarying for the 

 pinesse. 

 Cavo de tres The last of January the middle part of Cape de tres 

 puntas. puntas was thwart of us three leagues at seven of the 



clocke in the morning : and at eight the pinesse came 

 to an anker : and wee prooved that the current setteth to 

 the Eastward : and at sixe at night the uttermost lande 

 bare East and by South 5. leagues, and we went South- 

 west, and Southwest and by South. 



Saturday the first of February 1588. we were thwart of 



a Round foreland, which I take to be the Eastermost 



part of Capo de tres puntas : and within the said Round 



foreland was a great bay with an Island in the said 



bay. 



The Castle of The second of February wee were thwart of the Castle 



Mina. Q £ M} naj anc [ w hen the thirde glasse of our Looke-out 



was spent, we spied under our Larbord-quarter one of 



their Boates with certaine Negroes, and one Portugale in

Monte Re- and those I reckoned to be but little short of Monte

I sawe two hilles within the land, these hils I take to be 



7 leagues from the first hils. And to sea-ward of these

Eastnortheast, and East and by North 22 leagues, and 



then East along the shore. 



Villa longa. The 6 we were short of Villa longa, and there we 



met with a Portugall Caravell. 



The 7 a faire temperate day, and all this day we road
