During this voyage, we suffered prodigiously, owing to the tempestuous weather which we encountered, especially near theequator. At that place it was winter in the month of June, the days andnights were of equal length, and our shadows were always towards the south. At length it pleased the Almighty to conduct us to a new country on the17th of August, where we came to anchor about a league and a half from theshore, to which we went in our boats to see whether it were inhabited. Weaccordingly fo...und that it was full of inhabitants, who were worse thanbeasts; though at our first landing we could not see any of the natives, we yet saw by numerous traces on the shore that the country was verypopulous. We took possession of this land for the king of Castile[2], finding it in all appearance fertile and pleasant. This place is fivedegrees beyond the equator to the south. After the ceremony of takingpossession, we returned to our ships; and as we required a supply of woodand water, we went on shore next day for that purpose.
