THE ENGLISH VOYAGES 



thirtie men or there about, and went up to a towne of 

 Indians which was two leagues from the road, which 

 towne is called Acatlan : there were in it about 20 or 30 

 houses and a Church, which we defaced and came abourd 

 againe the same night. All the people were fled out of 

 the towne at the sight of us. 



The fourth of September, wee departed from the roadc 

 of Malacca, and sayled along the coast. 



The 8 we came to the roade of Chaccalia, in which bay 

 there are two litle houses by the waters side. This bay 

 is 18 leagues from the Cape de los Corrientes. 



The 9 in the morning our Generall sent up Captaine 

 Havers with fortie men of us before day, and Michael 

 Sancius being our guide, wee went unto a place about 

 two leagues up into the countrey in a most villainous 

 desart path through the woods and wildernesse: and in 

 the ende we came to a place where wee tooke three 

 housholders with their wives and children and some 

 Indians, one carpenter which was a Spaniard, and a 

 Portugall, wee bound them all and made them to come 

 to the sea side with us. 



Our Generall made their wives to fetch us Plantans, 

 Lymmons, and Oranges, Pine-aples and other fruites 

 whereof they had abundance, and so let their husbandes 

 depart, except Sembrano the Spanish Carpenter, and 

 Diego the Portugal ; and the tenth day wee departed the 

 roade. 



The twelfth day wee arrived at a little Island called the 

 Isle of Sant Andrewe, on which there is great store 

 of fowle and wood : where wee dryed and salted as many 

 of the fowles as we thought good : wee also killed there 

 abundance of scales, and Iguanos which are a kinde of 

 Serpents, with foure feete, and a long sharpe tayle, 

 strange to them which have not scene them ; but they 

 are very good meate. Wee ridde here untill the seven- 

 teenth day, at which time wee departed. 



The 24 day wee arrived in the roade of Massatlan, 

 which standeth in 23 degrees J, just under the Tropicke
