 islands. Quirossays: "Este dia se vio una isla de hasta seis leguas de boj ; 

 y porque hasta aqui no se habia encontrado tierra alguna ni bajo, ni otra cosa que 

 impidien nuestro camino, se le puso por nombre Bitot Viage: su altura son tres 

 grados y medio parte del Norte. Acordose de no ir a ella por no ser ya a pro- 

 posito v por el riesgo de ser baja." Viages de Qttiros, I, jj<S. This day was seen 

 an island about six leagues in circuit; and because thus far we had encountered 

 neither land nor shoal, nor other thing which might impede our way, we bestowed 

 the name Cool Voyage. Its latitude is three and a half degrees North. It was 

 determined not to land as it was not convenient and there was risk of reefs.
