THE ENGLISH VOYAGES 



thereof; untill of late one Francis Drake an English- 

 man (of whom I have before spoken) seeing hee could 

 doe no good on the maine lande of the West Indies to 

 benefite himselfe, because of the galleys of Cartagena 

 that kept the coast, determined to seeke the Streights of 

 Magellan, and to passe into the South sea. And so 

 having provided two ships and three pinnesses in Eng- 

 land, he proceeded on his voyage, and comming to 

 the Islandes of Cape Verde tooke a Portugal shippe laden 

 with wine, the Pilot whereof beeing a Portugal called 

 Nuno da Sylva, hee caried along with him, who was a 

 great helpe and furtherance unto him in his voyage. And 

 this which I shall here say, I had in writing of the 

 Portugall pilot himselfe. 



From the Islands of Cape Verde the sayd Francis 

 Drake sailed unto Port Sant Julian, where he wintered: 

 and there also hee put to death a gentleman of his 

 company, because hee would have returned home. This 

 port I take to bee accursed, for that Magellan likewise 

 put some to death there for the like offence. 



This Francis Drake putting out of the sayd port, 

 entred the Streights, and within twelve dayes gotte into 

 the South sea. And two dayes after there arose such 

 a storme of Westerly windes (which are usuall in those 

 parts) that he lost his pinnesse, and his Viceadmirall 

 master John Winter was driven backe againe into the 

 Streights, who passing manv dangers returned home into 

 England. But Francis Drake himselfe ranne with this 

 storme into seven and fifty degrees of Southerly latitude, 

 where hee found an Island with a Pood harborouo-h, and 

 fresh water, and stayed at the same Island two moneths to 

 repayre his ships : and then, the weather beeing faire, he 

 proceeded on his voyage, and came to the coast of Chili to 

 an Island called La Mocha ; where hee went on shore, 

 and talked with the Indians: but when hee would have 

 returned unto his boate they shotte their arrowes at him, 

 and killed two of his men, and hee himselfe was wounded 

 in the face.
