ata, an hundred and ten miles from Marfeilles, from whence ir fèt out again 
on Wednefclay after midnight, and about five of the clock at Nighr, came to 
an anchor at St. Remigio, leventy five miles from Rocca Tagliata. Sr. Rer^i- 
gio is a pretty Town belonging to the Gemefe, with a httle Fort, and conve- 
nience to make a good Harbour ; but that Republick will not fuffer it to be 
done : it is covered by a Mole, anà wants only to be dug. The Countrey is 
all Garden, produces plenty of all things, and efpecially of Wine, Oyl, Ce- 
dar, Oranges and other Fruits. 
We parted from thence on Thurfday the fifteenth of November after mid- 
night, and about fix of the clock at night came to an anchor before Genoa ^ 
fourfcore and ten miles diftant from St. Remtgio. FnJ^iy about midnight we 
. left that place, and came to an anchor again at Vorto Fet/ere, threefcore miles 
from Ge?wa. Forto Venere is a finall Town, but the Houfès fair and well 
built. It hath a Fort very advantageoufly feated upon a Rock that commands 
the mouth of the Harbour. This Port, or Gulf rather, is on the one fide 
covered by the main Land, and on the other, by a fruitfuU Ifland, which 
lies before it towards Lerice, between which and that Ifland is the gulf Delia 
Spetie. This is the laft place of the Territories of the Gemefe : we ialuted it 
with four Guns, and were anfwered with three. This Gountrey is fruitfull 
in Vines and Olive-trees. From Marfeilles to Forto Venere we had all the way 
fair weather. At midnight following we weighed anchor, and with a fair 
North-Wind about eleven of the clock in the forenoon arrived at Legorn, 
threefcore miles from Forto Venere, and this was on Saturday the feventeenrh 
of No'vember. 
Tucfday the four and twentieth of January lééf about half an hour paft 
eleven in the forenoon, i went on board the Ship of Captain Richard de la, 
Ctcuta, a man commendable for his piety and civility ; that Ship was called, 
JV. Dame de la Grace, carrying about two hundred and fifty, or three hundred 
Tun : fhehad on board thirty Seamen, four great Guns, and fix BrafsPe^r^- 
ras. So foon as we were on board fhe made fail with a North-Wind, and 
fleered a courfe South-South-Weft 5 about fix a clock at night, the Wind 
chopped about to North-Weft, and we pafTed betwixt C^pw'<2 and the EWe-y 
in the night-time the Wind blew very frefh. 
Next morning we were got an hundred and fourfcore miles from Legem, 
and (àw Mojne Chrtfio a great way a-ftern of us ; we coafted along the Ifland 
of Corfica, and becaufe we were too near Land, about ten of the clock in the 
morning we flood away South-South-Eaft, the Wind flackening much. All 
that day we had Sardinia to the Star-board, but at a pretty good diftance : 
In the beginning of the Night the Wind blew a little freflier, but far lelsthan 
the Night before. 
Saturday morning the fix and twentieth we had loft fight of Sardinia, and 
being fair before the Wind, fo that no Sails but the Main and Main-Top-Sails 
could bear, we put out our Stufting Sails. Aboutnoon, the Wind fliifted about 
to the North, and two hours after to the North-Eaft : and therefore we took 
in our Stuffing Sails; and kept on our courfe South-South-Eaft ; In the eve- 
ning the Wind abated fo, that all night long we were becalmed. 
Next day being Sunday, we made the Ifland of Maretimo a-head .• and 
about eleven a clock in the morning , we ftood away South-Eaft : about 
two a clock afternoon, we made a Sail a great way off to the Leeward ; all 
that day we had a Calm till nighr, when the Wind blew fo frefii again, that 
about midnight we paft betwixt Maretimo, Le'vanz.o and La Fa'vignane, lea- 
ving the firftofthefe Iflandsto the Star-board, and the other two to the Lar- 
board: then we fteered away Eaft.South-Eaft ;fliortly after the Wind fo flack- 
ned that we were becalmed. 
Mimday morning about break of day we were got very near the Land of 
Sicily, to the Wind-ward of Capo Boco over againft Marjala : it is five hundred 
miles from Legorn. We made ftill fome way in our courfe Eaft-South-Eaft, 
notwithftanding the Calm which lafted till noon, when the Wind blowing 
freflier, we coafted along Sicily pretty near the Shoar, about four a clock af- 
ternoon the Wind encreafing a little, we flood away South-South-Eaft, and 
this fair weather beginning with the New Moon, madç the Captain repent 
that-
