38 Estavan Gomes, a Portuguese pilot, sailed with Magellan on his
famous voyage in 1519, but deserted with his ship and crew. In 1525
(_not_ 1524) he sailed from Corunna. He coasted Newfoundland as far
south as 40 deg. Here he took on board certain Indians and carried
them to Spain. (C.D.)
39 Born 1478. His _Historia general de los Indias_ was not published in
its entirety until 1851-55. (C.D.)

consult Bayle's _Dictionnaire_, Art. _Villegagnon_ and _Ricker_;
Cotton Mather, _Magnalia_, Book I., Southey's History of Brazil; De
Thou, Maimbourg, etc.
44 Dr. Woods thinks Hakluyt is mistaken in saying ministers went out
with Ribault to Florida. It is indeed hardly likely that Coligny
would have thus alienated the sympathy of Charles IX.
45 Master Wolfall was the name of the minister who accompanied
Frobisher, (see vol. xii. of this edition, p. 81), and Master
Francis Fletcher was with Drake in his voyage round the world in
1577-80. His notes of the voyage were republished by the Hakluyt
Society in 1854.
