' I j/j. Travels into the L e v a n t. Part II. 
cruel ufage i neverthele(s fome abode fbll, and have Cattel. there. I was told 
that heretofore there were all forts of Fruits on this llland, but that fince the Por- 
iugnefs have left off to go thither, there are no more to be found : I was likewife 
aflured that there is excellent water in the North-JFgfi^ and Eaji ends «ii the 
Ifle. " 
About five a Clock in the evening, we furled our Mizan, Mizan-Top, Maira-Top, 
and Fore- Top-Sails, that we might not make fomuch wa-y, bccaufe on thisCoaft 
there are places where the water is very (hallow. About fevcn a Clock at night, 
we were got off of the other end of thellleof Keis, and then the Windflackencd 
much, half an hour after, v^'e came off and on a place of the main Land, where 
the (hoar opens towards jhe Eafi^ and form? a Gulf in fhape of a half Circle, and 
the outmott point of that half Circle is called GherJ. All that day we had kept 
very near the main Land, which to that Gulf bears IFefi, North-Weji^ and Eajî, 
South Eafi. When we were juft off of the beginning of this Gulf, a gentle Gale 
blowing from Eafl^ North-Eafl, made us to Steer our Courfe South-Eafi^ and we 
made the Land called G^er^/, to the Eiz/î, E^î/î. About ten a Clock at night, 
we flood away Souths South-Eaji^ and heaving out the Lead, found fevcnteen 
Fathîjm water : within a quarter oi an hour alter, the Wind turning Nonh-Wefi^ 
we bore away South , but bccaufe it inftantly blew too hard, we furled the MHt;'; 
Sail, and Steered Souths Sonth-Eaft. About three quarters after ten, we Steered 
South-Eaj}^ and cafting the Lead, found fifteen Fathom water. 
Smday the two and twentieth of November, at two a Clock after midnight, we 
Féoro. were got off of the Ifle of Faloro to our Starboard j our Courfe was then Eaft^, 
South-Eaji, and having founded, we found thirteen Fathom waters whereupon 
we turned the Ships Head Souths South-Eafi. A quarter after two, we heaved the 
Lead feveral times, and found betwixt fix and feven Fathom water. Three 
quarters after two, we bore away Eafi, South-Eaii, and carting the Lead, found 
firft fifteen, then ten, and a little farther only eight Fathom water i wc had 
Kount S annas, then to the Larboard a Mountain on (he main Land, called Sannas, Half 
an hour after five in the morning, we had but five Fathom water. At fix 
a Clock wc found twelve, and then we Steered Ea(l, North- Eaji, and at eight 
a Clqck in the morning, came before Congo, difiant from Keis fifteen Leagues 
by Land, and thirty by Sea ; an hundred from Carek^^ and an hundred and 
fifty from Bajfora : from Congo to Comoron, it is twenty Leagues by Land, and 
thirty by Sea. We came to an Anchor in the Road a long half League 
South, South'Eafi, from the Town : There were four Ships at Anchor there 
already, and the fame day four more came after us, on their way from BaJJora
