fpe&. This Land feem'd to reach about 

 fourteen or fixteen Leagues in a Range, and 

 there came thence great Flocks of Fowls. 

 I, and many more of our Men, would have 

 made this Land, and have gone afhore at it 5 

 but the Captain would not permit us. The 

 frnall Ifland bears from Capayapo, almoft due 

 , Eaft five hundred Leagues ^ and from the 

 GdUapagos , under the Line , fix hundred 

 Leagues. 



Jid^vafk When we were arriv'd again at John Fer- 

 c 'nando's, which was at the latter end of the 

 Year 1687. we clean'd our Ship there, ha- 

 ving quitted our Bark , and flood over to 

 the Main ^ intending to get fome of the 

 Sheep of Mocha , for our Voyage round 

 Terra del Fuego. But when we came there, 

 the Spaniards had wholly deftroyed, or car-' 

 ried away the Sheep, Horfes, and all other 

 LJg** living Creatures. We went then to Santa, 

 Maria, an Ifland in 3.7 Deg. S. in expecta- 

 tion of frefti Provifion ^ but this Ifland was 

 likewife deftroy'd : So we were forc'd to con- 

 tent our felves with fuch Provifion as we had 

 brought from the GaUapago's-^ which were 

 chiefly Flower, Maiz, Hecatee, orLand-Tor- 

 toife faked, and the Fat of it tried, or made 

 into Lard or Oil, of which we got there fix- 

 ty Jars. The Spaniards had fet Dogs a- 

 ^S&.fliore at John Fernando\ alfo, to deftroy 

 ' the Goats there, that we might fail ofPro- 

 yifion : But we were content with killing 



there
