leagues : and the chanell waxeth narrower and narrower 

 unto the first Streit which runneth Eastnortheast, and 

 Westsouthwest. And comming out of the mouth thereof 

 a man must keepe himselfe a poynt to the Northward, 

 because there be rocks and shoalds. And if you see 

 beds of weeds, take heed of them, and keepe off from 

 them : and after you be past this Streight you must stirre 

 Westsouthwest 8 leagues unto Cabo de San Gregorio, 

 which is a high white cliffe, and is a good road for any 

 wind from the Northwest to the Southwest. But men 

 must beware and not trust the Indians of this Cape : for 

 they be subtill and will betray a man. 



From this Cape beginneth the second Streit which 

 is called Nuestra Sennora de Gracia, and lyeth East- 

 northeast and Westsouthwest 3 leagues. And comming 

 out of this Streit thou shalt see 3 little Islands, lying 

 West off this Streit : thou mayest go betweene them, 

 for there is no danger : provided alwayes that thou 

 keepe well off from the bayes on both sides, lest thou 

 bee imbayed. And from these Islands thou must keepe 

 forwards in the chanell Westsouthwest two leagues : 

 and then the coast lyeth North and South unto 53 

 degrees and a halfe, unto a place called Punta de Santa 

 Anna : and to the Northwest thereof in a corner or 

 nooke (which is one of the rincones or nookes) was 

 the towne builded called La Ciudad del Don Philippe. 

 Thou must come to an anker to the Northward thereof, 

 after thou art past the castle and a great tree.
