hard by some sandie towne, and we gest the nearest land to vs might be the
Island of S. Anthony, and wee were as then at the least 40. or 50. miles
from it: The same day likewise there came a flying fish into our shippe,
which we eat.

The 28. of Iune wee had the height of 20. degrees, with a East Northeast
wind and East and by West, with full sayle, there we saw much Sargosse,
driuing on the water. The last of Iune we had the Sun right ouer our
heades, and yet we felt no heat, for that by reason of the cold ayre we had
a fine coole weather. The same day we passed Tropicus Cancri, still hauing
the winde East Northeast, and in the euening we were vnder 24. degr.

The second of Iuly we saw Sargosse driuing vpon the water, and had the wind
somewhat lower North Northeast with a calme. The thirde of Iuly the winde
came againe East Northeast, and wee helde our course North and by West. The
8. of Iuly wee were vnder 33. degrees and 1/2. with an East wind, holding
our course North and by East, and yet we saw much Sargosse driuing, but not
so thicke as it did before.

The 10 of Iuly we had a good wind that blew south and South and by East,

The same day one of our boyes fell ouer bord, and was carried away with a
swift streame before the wind, but to his great good fortune, the Pinace
saued him, that was at the least a quarter of a mile from vs: this euening
we found the height of 36. degrees.

The 12. of Iuly we had a Southwest wind, holding our course Northeast and
by North: Our Pilot and the Pilot of the Pinnace differed a degree in the
height of the Sunne, for ours had 38. degrees, and theirs but 37. We gest
to be about the Islands of Corbo and Flores, but the one held more easterly
and the other more Westerly. The 13. of Iuly wee had still a Southwest
winde, and after noone wee thought wee had seene land, but we were not
assured thereof, for it was somewhat close. The 14. of Iuly we had a calme,
and saw no land, and then our men began to be sicke.

The 17. of Iuly wee had a South Southeast winde, with faire weather, and
were vnder 41. degrees, holding our course East Northeast.

The 18. 19. 20. and 21. it was calme. The 22. of Iuly the winde came North,
