The 27th they were in lat. 0°29' S. Still seeing much land to the south, some of which were very highand some low, which they passed, continuing their course to the north ofwest. The 29th they felt the shock of an earthquake, which shook theship to that degree that the men ran terrified out of their births, believing the ship had run a-ground, or had bilged against some rock. Onheaving the lead they found the sea unfathomable, and their ship clearfrom all danger of rocks or shoals. The 30th the...y put into a great bay, out of which they could find no opening to the west, and resumedtherefore a northern course. Here the ship trembled again with loudclaps of thunder, and was almost set on fire by the lightning, had itnot been prevented by prodigious rain.
