Containing the Voyage along the Coafls 

 of Chili and Peru. 



HE next Morning, being the 18th of 

 June, after having fent the Yawl to fee 

 whether any Ships were at Anchor at 

 Talcaguana, a thick Fog obftru&ing our 

 Sight, we weigh'd, to go up thither; fa^ 

 luted the Town with feven Guns, and, 

 according to Cuftom, it return' d us none. 

 However, we proceeded, carrying little Sail, and founding 

 all the Way, towards our Yawl ; which, after having view'd 

 the Ships at Anchor, had pofted herfelf with a Signal to fliew 

 ihe was a Friend, and brought us into bad Anchorage. 

 It furpriz'd us very much to find only three Fathom Water, 

 *nd then fomewhat lefs ; but at length, the Water deepen- 

 ing, we moor'd North and South, in four Fathom and a 

 half Water, the Bottom owzy as before, two little Points 

 of the Peninfula of Talcaguana bearing N. and by W.from 

 us, upon a Line from each other, and the Creek of the 

 Three MaidtN. W. 



To the Southward of us lay two French Ships, which 

 had put in, in order to go and trade along the Coaft : One of 

 them was of Marseilles, call'd the Mary- Anne, command- 

 ed by the Sieur Pijfon, of Villafranca, in the County of 

 JSIice ; and the other call'd the Concord, commanded by 

 the Sieur Pradet Daniel, of S. Malo, detach'd from Mon-
