In the year 1502, on the 10th day of February, we failed from the river of Lifbon, and took our courfe to India. The firft land which we found was called Kenan, 1 and there are many iflands which moftly belong to the King of Spain, and they are well 200 miles from Portugal. We failed thence, and directed our courfe to fouth- eaft, and arrived at the cape, 2 near which we had remained, and it is well 500 miles from Portugal. The people there walk ftark naked, men and women, and they are black. A...nd they have no fhame, for they wear no clothes, and the women have converfe with their men like monkeys, and they know neither good nor evil. On the 5th day of March we directed our courfe by fouth-weft, 100 miles out at fea. On the 29th day of March we were failing at leaft 1,200 miles from Portugal, and there we loft fight of the Great Bear, and the fun was above our head, fo that we could not fee the fhadow of anything, nor any mark in the fky on the 2nd day of April. In that fea we faw fifties flying with the birds, as far as a man may fhoot with a crofs bow ; and they are as big as a mackerel, a herring, or a pilcher.
