Second.  “Seeing the coast still stretched to the south we resolved to change our course and stand to the northward, and as we still had the same difficulty, we drew in with the land, and sent a boat ashore.  Many people, who were seen coming to the sea-side, fled at our approach.  We found not far from this people another.  This country is plentifully supplied with lakes and ponds of running water and being in the latitude of 34, the air is salubrious, pure and temperate, and free from the extreme both of heat and cold.  We set sail from this place continuing to coast along the shore, which we found stretching out to the west (east?) While at anchor on this coast, there being no harbor to enter, we sent the boat on shore with twenty-five men to obtain water.  Departing hence, and always following the shore, which stretched to the north, we came in the space of fifty leagues to another land which appeared beautiful and 50 full of the largest forests.”

Third.  “After having remained here three days riding at anchor on the coast, as we could find no harbor we determined to depart, and coast along the shore to the northeast. After proceeding one hundred leagues, we found a very pleasant situation among some steep hills through which A very large river, deep at its mouth forced its way 100 to the sea.”

Fourth.  “We took the boat and entering the river we found the country on its banks well peopled.  All of a sudden a violent contrary wind blew in from the sea, and forced us to return to our ship.  Weighing anchor, we sailed eighty leagues towards the east, as the coast stretched in that direction, and always in sight of it.  At length we discovered an island, triangular in form, about ten leagues from the mainland.  We gave it the name of your majesty’s 80 illustrious mother.”

Fifth.  “We did not land there, as the weather was unfavorable, but proceeded to another place, fifteen leagues distant from the island, where we found a very excellent harbor.  It looks towards the south, on which side the harbor is half a league broad.  Afterwards, upon entering it, the extent between the east and the north is twelve leagues, and then enlarging itself, forms a very large bay, twenty 15 leagues in circumference.”

Sixth.  “Having supplied ourselves with every thing necessary, on the sixth of May we departed from the port and sailed one hundred and fifty leagues, keeping so close to the coast as never to lose it from our sight.  We did not stop to land, as the weather was very favorable for pursuing our voyage, and the country presented no 150 variety.  The shore stretched to the east”
