JOHN LOCKE AD. 



1553- 



The 5. we had very rough stormie weather. This 

 day was the sayd Anthonie Gelber sowed in a Chavina 

 filled with stones and throwen into the sea. By reason 

 of the freshnes of the wind we would have made 

 toward the shore, but the wind put us to the sea, 

 where we endured a great storme and a troublesome 

 night. 



The 6. 7. and 8. we were continually at the sea, & 

 this day at noone the wind came faire, whereby we 

 recovered the way which we had lost, and sailed out 

 of sight of Candia. 



The 9. we sailed all day with a prosperous wind after [II. i. iii.] 

 14. mile anhoure: and the 10. in the morning, wee had 

 sight of Cavo Matapan, and by noone of Cavo Gallo, Cavo Mata- 

 in Morea, with which land we made by reason of contrary ^f,^' ^ ,,

 with other litle Islands all disinhabited. The chanell lieth 

 Southwest and Northeast betweene the Islands and 

 Morea, which is firme land. This Modon was built 

 by the Venetians, but as some say it was taken from 

 them by force of the Turke, and others say by composi- 

 tion : in like case Coron, and Napolis de Romania, which Coron.^ 

 is also in Morea. This night the Flemmish pilgrimes ^""/JJI^.J' 

 being drunke would have slaine the patrone because he 

 ankered here. 



The 1 1 . day we set saile againe, and as we passed by 

 Modon, we saluted them with ordinance, for they that 

 passe by this place, must salute with ordinance, (if they 

 have) or els by striking their top sailes, for if they doe 

 not, the towne will shoot at them. This day toward 

 2. of the clocke wee passed by the Island of Prodeno, Prodeno. 

 which is but litle, and desert, under the Turke. About 

 2. houres before night, we had sight of the Islands of
