RE LA TION of the Rest of the Voyage . 
jxyronday , 19 th September 1672, I embark’d in the Ship 
Barbault, to take passage for France, with some pro¬ 
visions & Victuals for my own food, & for that of a Black 
who serv’d me. 
The next day, 20 th of the month , we weigh’d anchor 
from the Anse Dauphine, & departed thence, taking our 
course to double the Cape of Good Hope. The wind was 
favourable for us from the 21st until the 29th. We found Tempest. 
ourselves to be in 23 degrees of latitude, & changing it, 
the wind became all of a sudden contrary for our course, 
& increasing in force, we were oblig’d to bring-to our 
Vessel, & let it drive, at the mercy of the Winds & the 
Waves, before the wind. The tempest lasted until the 4th 
October following, when a calm took us. 
The 6th October , having taken latitude, we found we had 
lost one degree & a half of elevation ; we were consol’d 
for this by a favourable wind which arose, to double the 
Cape. 
The qth we found ourselves in latitude 3 5 degrees, & the 
wind being contrary we again lost our elevation. 
The 12 th & 13 th, continuation of the same wind, we 
had one of the most violent tempests which one could 
meet with at sea. Happily we had a good Ship, although 
small, & had it not been extraordinarily strong, it wou’d 
have been made leaky by the violence of the winds & sea, 
& we shou’d have founder’d. We were lying-to.
