 other, but our men made to them the signe of the 



Crosse on the sande, to give them to understand that 



they were of the shippe that brought the pilgrims. Then 



the Moores knowing (as al the country else doth) that 



it was the use of Christians to go to Jerusalem, shewed 



them to be yet by west of Jaffa. Thus we remained all 



that night at anker, and the farther west that we sayled,
