14 i# Voyage to 



.jmhrgrmfe. Near the little Ifland very good Ambergreafe is found, 

 and the Portugueze have fold it to fome French Ships, and 

 among the reft to the S. Clement. 



As no Refrefliment was to be found in that Ifland, 

 we Jet fail to get fome in that of S. Anthony ; but the 

 Wind blew too frefli at N. E. and the Sea ran too high 

 to fend Boats,* fo that we fet our Courfe to get out of 

 the Channel that is fornvd by thofe two Iflands. In 

 paffing along, we perceivd theAnchoring-place towards 

 the S. W. 



Soon after we difcover'd, farther on, Land at a great 

 Diftance, which we took for the Ifland Fuego, or Togo ; 

 but the next Morning, after having run about 45 Leagues 

 • S. and by E. in the Night, we fpy'd a Fire, and when it was 

 full Day a very high Land, which bore from us N. E. 

 and by E. about five Leagues diftant, on the Top whereof 

 there appear'd fome Smoak* 



The Situation of that Land made us take it for the 

 Ifland Brava, but the Smoak inclin'd us to fancy it was 

 that of Fuego, or Fogo. If fo, the Iflands of Cape Verde 

 muft be wrong laid down in Vanhulerfs Sea-Atlas, 

 which we follow'd. 



However, we ftill made the Beft of a good frefli Gale 

 at N. E. which carry' d us within two Degrees of the 

 Equinoctial, where we had two calm Days, with fome 

 little Air from W. S. W. to South > after which, a little 

 Gale at S* S.'E. having carry'd us on into 40 Minutes 

 Latitude, and 23 Degrees 50 Minutes Longitude, from 

 the Meridian of Paris, we tack'd, for fear of falling in 

 too near the Coaft of Brafil, where the Currents fet to 

 the N. W. We flood S. E. and by E. and the next Day, 

 being the 5 th of March, fleering S. and by E. cut the 

 Ptfs the Line. Line with a fmallGale at W. S. W. at 3 55 Degrees from 

 Teneriff. 



The next Day, when it was no longer doubted that 

 we were to the Southward of the Line, the foolifh Cere-
